The Raw Power of Beterbiev

Stevenson's Precision and Speed
While Beterbiev relies on raw power, Stevenson uses precision and speed to generate his knockout power. Gvozdyk praised Stevenson's ability to "time his punches perfectly." He also noted that Stevenson's punches are very fast, making them difficult to avoid.
Which Puncher is More Dangerous?
It is difficult to say who is the more dangerous puncher, as both Beterbiev and Stevenson have their strengths and weaknesses. However, Gvozdyk believes that Stevenson is the more well-rounded boxer, making him a slightly more dangerous opponent.
Conclusion
Artur Beterbiev and Shakur Stevenson are two of the most feared punchers, and both have the power and skill to knock out any opponent. While Beterbiev possesses raw power, Stevenson combines precision and speed for maximum impact. Ultimately, it is up to each individual fighter to develop a game plan that will allow him to exploit his opponent's weaknesses and maximize his own strengths.
