Wow!
Hi is not “THE SOVIET” his name is Beterbiev, Biased commentators!!!
Noïce fight
Calling was to gun-shy as and Didn’t jump on Artur as after he had him down why when artur was backing up??????
Nice fight with good knock downs and an excellent knock out. A very difficult job to stop Arthur which in top of being a hard puncher looks like that his chin is quite good for a fast recovery.
