Artur Beterbiev vs Oleksandr Gvozdyk | FREE FIGHT | Beterbiev Becomes Unified Champ 

Artur has heavy hands, accurate punch, but the most scary things about him is he never looked tired

Gvozduk was a very skilled fighter, Beterbiev has the skills plus the murderous power.

Could you believe Gvozdyk called Beterbievs power "overrated" after he got sent into retirement 🤣

Sadly at the time this fight flew severely under the radar unless you're a boxing purist. Two undefeated champions having some balls to put it all on the line, Gvozdyk the man who beat the man. No A side B side nonsense just legacy. 👍

Man, Beterbiev is a monster. Brutal fighter.

Glad you put this up - still a seriously underrated fight. Absolute war. Beterbiev is a monster - retired the man who retired Adonis Stevenson.

Hats off to Gvozdyk , he gave us a fight although he couldn't hurt the guy. It takes amazing amount of courage and skill to do this against the Beast. Great fight !

This guys toughness is underrated, he received a lot of good shots but didn't even look hurt or tired at the end.

Beterbieves conditioning is what makes him a monster. He ends the fight with the same energy level as what he started.

Dude's effort between the last two knockdowns was heroic.

Beterbiev's punch looks normal, but the opponent feels that Beterbiev's punch is very hard and heavy

Beterbive rocked USYK in as a amiture! With out a doubt the hardest hitting light heavyweight I've ever seen! With little short punches no less?

For me... according to my criteria, Artur is the most murderous fighter... he has all the qualities... not only boxing but also human qualities, character, etc..

From RD 2 onwards looked like Gvozdyk fought scared and restricted. And Artur. Man, the guy has that steely determination cemented on his face. A bulldoser.

How come Beterbiev is not considered the best in his weight class? When Gvozdyk was WBC champion and lineal champion he was considered the best. He beat him. He has beaten another champion but, still, he is considered the second best. Why? Because someone beaten a middleweight guy called Canelo. I really respect his last sentences. I think he clearly heard the chanting "Ukraine, Ukraine,..." and he thanked all the fans including the Gvozduk's suggesting that today he won but he (Gvozdyk) could have won another day. True champion and sportsman!

В современном время нет боксёра как артур Бетербиев👍

I think people really underestimate Artur’s boxing when they said he’s an easier opponent for Canelo stylistically than Bivol. Artur has a good sense of distance and timing and he hits hard. Even though he doesn’t bounce on his feet the way Dmitry does, he’s still a good big boxer with a punch. The fight against Bivol showed Canelo that there are limits to everything (and don’t even bring up Kovalev fight as he was a completely different Kovalev that night).

Beterbiev is like a lion

People actually thought Canelo would just roll through these guys :/.

Gvozdyk retired Adonis and Beterbiev retired him. Light heavy is dangerous, over the past decade they had some dangerous punchers there.

That guy has incredible powerlike George Foreman years ago.

I agree with many of yall who've said this is an underappreciated fight. This is about as good as it gets, if you ask me. Two undefeated champions (with a history!) in their prime putting everything on the line and giving everything, good work by the ref (who is allowed here to make mistakes bc there are failsafes in place to correct them ), great stuff by the commentary team, and great work from Genna and Teddy in the corners. Also, as a PA guy, I am so stoked our state commission has been continuing to do good work, this is becoming a fantastic state to host fights because of it. And, dude, Beterbiev is fucking terrifying.

crazy infighting skills by Beterbiev. He must have some wrestling background. And the shear power that is needed to convert those skills into a knockout.

Beterbiev is calm collected and more accurate ❤️💪🏾

Gvozdyk was my man here, a great talent and a serious fighter. Artur fought beautifully and looked awesome in this fight.

Beterbiev fought as heavyweight in his last Olympics stint. Nobody can match up with and beat him at light heavyweight.

This guy's dominating this division

Beterbiev is a devout Muslim and highly upholds his religion. It can be seen that every match his lips never stop reading the prayers and blessings (wirid) performed by the majority of Muslims in the world. Congratulations Beterbiev, we Indonesian Muslims love you very much.

Ander Ware’s early cheerleading for Gvosdyk, shows his running from him by retiring was misplaced and it was really about Betetbiev!

The BEAST! No one beats this guy

Hey maşallah BETERBİEV Allah kuvvetini artırsın

The referee was perfect!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏... great job... great fight!!!

What a match !!! Congratulations Beterbiev !

Even when you catch Artur coming in, he doesn't even move and throws back. Almost like as if he is saying 'Salaam' .. and then BANG!

Did it in Philly, the modern Marciano! The real rocky! Artur Beterbiev, the beast from the East, killing the rest of the west! Whew! What a monster a skilled killer, I hate he’s popular now, he was my secret for a long time, when he retires u will be watching videos of possibly the best inside fighter and constant perfection in aggression and underrated skills, the crowd should have known how special this was. But if u go to Russia they are very quiet in the crowd! Watch Lundy vs postol, it’s weird! But this man knows 3 languages, fights amatuer heavyweight, just retired a great younger Gvodzsyk , out brawled yarde, boxed in the Olympics vs usyk, out boxed inside and out guys like Marcus Browne,rowdy, mauled a guy as tough as joe smith in 2 rds who went 12 with bivol. I really believe he cod g to cruiser and get a belt, he he does that he’s my lb for lb, that’s a 25 lb weight hike! Like going from Spence fighting beterbiev in one camps time! Think on that. In terms of guys who stay in one division, he’s an all timer up there with heavyweight greats like Ali and foreman, Louis, fury, and guys like hagler, ggg, mell charlo, Andre ward and Roy and bohm, he’ll of a list

Beterbiev’s whole body made of iron, that’s why his punches are so lethal.

@30:20 beterbiev lands a good left to the body and Gvozdyk was like "Ahh!!! Time out there's something wrong with my lever." Bro tried to be slick 🤣🤣🤣

If you say Beterbiev has no skills then you’re not a fan of the sweet science.

This is my statement for Bob Arum about Artur Beterbiev. We all know, you are the great promoter, you are the honest one. You are powerful and influential person in boxing. You are the Thanos of boxing Universe. Artur is the main brilliant stone in your infinity gauntlet, most powerful. But he has his own dream, he has a hope of all his life- to become the undisputed unified champion. He doesn't ask you for much money, he doesn't trying to keep a foot in both camps. Artur worked hard for all his life, he devoted his life to box. He's never been crazy about money, cars, gold, women, yachts. He is our pride and glory. He just wants to be respected and honourable, as he deserves. We all have seen "The knight's tale" with Heath Ledger. Artur is William Thatcher of our time. The guy, noble at heart, born in Cheapside, should get his real name: Sir Artur Beterbiev. Bob, you are not a young man. You've done and seen a lot. You are not a poor man. I just want, you, one day, could say: "I helped this guy to make his dream true". That' s not about money, how much DAZN or ESPN pay. That is about brilliant, who needs the last, final touch, to become one of the greatest. Artur deserves to become the glory hall member. And you can be the reason of it, if you stop thinking about money. No one then will remember you as a rich man. Everybody will say: that was man, who made Artur, Beterbiev, the undefeated, the undusputed, unified champion of the world with 100% KO ratio. Bob Arum, I hope you will read this and think about it. Please, after Yarde, find a way for Artur to unify with Bivol as soon, as it is possible. Artur is the Stephen King's last Gunslinger of boxing, honour him, please

It’s a shame Gvozdyk retired. He had crazy talent

That pressure and strength just took over by round 8

One of my favorite fights glad you guys upload it.

Браво Артур ✊

Поздравляю с победой Артур! Привет из Пирмазенса!

Я ожидалa очень тяжелого матча. Но Бетербиев начинает очень впечатляюще стартовать с 9-го круга и, похоже, совсем не устал. Действительно отличный боксер.

The body work wore Gvozdyk down. Beterbiev landed a lot of subtle short right hands to the chest and stomach and Gvozdyk visibly sagged on several of them.

1 of the best fight i ever seen in my life...😊😊🙏🙏💣💣👍👍💚❤

Credit to Gvozdyk, who kept fighting until the end and didn't give up. The man is a warrior. And for anyone questioning Beterbiev's chin, well, they should just watch this fight. The man is tough.

Am I the only one watching this trying to picture how Canelo would match up to Biev ?

Красава! Достойный бой, достойные слова после попеды.

This fight reminded me of James Kirkland vs Alfredo Angulo. The network didn't realize what they were giving us for free.

The difference in the stamina of boxers who drink alcohol and boxers who don't drink alcohol is clearly visible in this fight..🤔👍

Man is a TANK!!! What a shame this man lost soany prime years being tied up and inactive with PBC Al Haymon

Alhamdulillah good job brotha

Excellent fight breakdown really enjoyed watching this, keep up the good work🎉

wish beterbiev was around during GGG's prime as seeing those two heavy hitters would be so fun. GGG seems to be the better technical boxer but beterbiev hits so damn hard.

Yay thanks!

Monster fight...beautiful fistic poetry.

Amazing use of replay in round 1. Wish refs called upon it more often

Silky smooth, rock solid precision. Beterbiev's "style" is like that of a big bore bolt action rifle; No superfluous movement. Click - clack - clunk - BOOM!

Instant classic

Great warrior Artur Beterbiev

Великий воин Чеченской нации. АЛХЬАМДУЛИЛЛАХЬ !

Canelo would try to walk Beterniev down, Canelo has never felt that kind of power Beterniev has, BLUNT FORCE

Artur es UN boxeador elite super fuerte

Три раза на колени поставил.Здорово!!!

Que buena pelea! Wow this is a great fighter!

Beterbiev ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💪❤️❤️❤️

the reff did as much as he could for him... after the nail was falling all over the ring even Teddy Atlas couldnt convince him to win

I really wanna see Canelo vs Beterbiev . Hopefully Canelo willing to make it happen

Boxing is the best sport in the world 🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊

The best of the best.💪

Фантастический бой! Браво Бетербиев! Поздравляю! Привет из Петербурга!

What a fight. 🥊🥊🥊

Artur is a legendary intense fighter 🥊🥊🥊🥊

Great commentary team

Before the KO, 2 judges gave the lead to Gvozdyk... ridiculous!!!! 87-84 Gvozdyk, 86 -85 Gozdyk and 83-87 Beterbiev. I had the same score with the 3rd Judge. without the KO Beterbiev would be robbed...

If Gvozdyk won, he very likely would have gone on to beat the other champions and clean out the division to unify against Bivol much like Beterbiev is now. He was that good.

You can tell Gvozdyk was scared from the start, which is weird knowing how good he is. I think Beterbiev defeated him in the Amateurs and Gvozdyk's mentality and emotions might have been impacted by that fight earlier in his career.

Кутты болсын женисин бауырым

18:02 😭😭😭 then proceeds to throw absolute vicious body shots

The first rules knockdown was a push, but I admit I’m late to the party on the champion. He’s the top dog for sure!!

Its like he gets stronger as the fight goes on, woah...

artur beterbiev P4P ☝🏻🦁 ‏masha'allah

In the four first rounds, Andre Ward at the first round to Gvodzyk and the next three to Berterbiev, while two of the judges had it the opposite on the score card.

24:40 Joe makes a statement that couldn't be any further from the truth. Yes, we as fans want the best fights every single time but the reality is that these guys are human and this sport is very dangerous. He says when 2 fighters face off it doesn't hurt anyone and both guys win. Well Alex lost and ended up retiring... before this fight Alex had retired Adonis Stevenson and he almost died... after ward vs kovalev ward retired and kovalev has never been the same inside and outside the ring.

I’m a fan Nohchi father Artur

Офигенный бой 👍

his to underrated. i want to see him fight canelo or bivol

Темп задал БТР, бой прошёл кость в кость, или поражение в юниорах дал о себе знать или мандраж, Гвоздику нужно было темп взвинчивать и держать дистанцию тогда мог бы осилить, поздравление Битербиеву отработал отлично 👍

Teddy Atlas was trying his best to give his experience and his expertise to his fighter but nothing works against Beterbiev. Bivol will find that out first hand when they fight❗️

Good job ❤

Beterbiev v Canelo. Get it on. Props to both fighters but beterbiev is relentless and seems to have the full skill set and the stamina to of a bull.

38:24 I think recently because of Terrence Crawford and Teofimo Lopez, everybody is criticizing Bob Arum but that man over there made careers of innumerable boxers. Boxers who came from very humble beginnings. Good bless you Bob🥊Arum Sir.

Love that reverse decision.... I could care less as a beterbiev fan, but like fairness

Просто красавчик, Дал ятто бойл хьа!!!

Here's the reason Ducknelo moved to Cruiserweight

At this moment Canelo can't touch Beterbieve...

The most scary thing is how polite and softspoken he is, yet he always looks scary as fuck

great fight, yarde good luck!
