Review: 2014-12-19, fight not particularly good between Artur Beterbiev and Jeff Page Jr: it gets two stars.

His opponent, Jeff Page Jr, has a perfect record of 15-0-0 (10 knockouts) and he entered as the No.56 in the same weight class, he has already fought five times in 2014 beating Maxell Taylor in his last bout.

That judge s*cks a*s
I thought Beterbiev has a better chin than Kovalev, now I don’t think so, even though Beterbiev was not injured by the knowckdown and this was largely a loss of balance on his feet.
I guess it wasn’t right to declare the second fall of Jeff as a knock down. The third knock down also cast doubts. However, to judge this fight watching this video is quite difficult because the quality is terrible.
