Alright, let’s talk about this fight, you know, the one everyone’s yappin’ about. Did Usyk beat Beterbiev? That’s the big question, ain’t it? Well, it ain’t as simple as a yes or no, see.
First off, you gotta understand, these boys, they ain’t just started fightin’ yesterday. They been at it for a good long while, even before they got all famous and such. Way back when, when they was just young fellas, they tangled a few times.
Now, I heard tell that in some kinda tournament, somethin’ called the “Amber Gloves,” back in ’07, Beterbiev, that Russian fella, he got the better of Usyk. Beat him by a couple of points, 12 to 10, they say. Yep, Beterbiev, he won that one. But that ain’t the whole story, no sirree.

See, they fought again, not just once, but a couple more times, before they turned all professional and started gettin’ paid big bucks. And those times? Well, Usyk, he showed ’em. He beat Beterbiev not once, but twice! That’s right, two times Usyk got the win. So, Beterbiev beat Usyk once, and Usyk beat Beterbiev twice in those amateur fights.
Now, these weren’t no fancy-pants pro fights, mind you. This was back when they was still learnin’ the ropes, still figurin’ things out. But a win’s a win, ain’t it? And Usyk, he got them wins. He showed that Beterbiev fella a thing or two.
But then things changed, you see. They went their separate ways, started fightin’ for real money, in them big arenas with all the bright lights. And that’s where things get a little tricky.
Usyk, he’s been doin’ real good. Undefeated, they say. That means he ain’t lost a single fight since he turned pro. Got himself a fancy record, 22 wins and 0 losses, somethin’ like that. He’s a tough cookie, that Usyk. Moves like a snake, hits like a mule. He’s a real problem for anyone.
Beterbiev, though, he’s a scary one too. Big, strong fella, hits like a freight train. They say he’s got knockout power in both hands. Folks call him a “heavy-hitting” fella, means he can put you to sleep real quick if you ain’t careful. He’s known for ending fights early, you know, with one big punch. A real knockout artist, that Beterbiev.
Now, here’s the thing. They ain’t fought each other as professionals. Not yet, anyways. So, when you ask, “Did Usyk beat Beterbiev?” Well, the answer depends on which fights you’re talkin’ about.
In those amateur fights, way back when? Yeah, Usyk beat him twice after losing once. But as pros? They ain’t danced yet. It’s like askin’ if the rooster beat the fox, when they ain’t even been in the same henhouse yet, you get what I’m sayin’?
People, they like to argue about who’d win if they did fight now. Some say Usyk’s too slick, too quick. They say Beterbiev wouldn’t be able to land that big punch. Others say Beterbiev’s power is too much, that he’d catch Usyk sooner or later and that would be all she wrote.
It’s all just talk, though, until they actually get in that ring and fight. And that’s what folks want to see. A real showdown. Usyk, the undefeated champ, against Beterbiev, the knockout artist. That’d be a fight worth watchin’, wouldn’t it?
So, until then, we just gotta wait and see. But one thing’s for sure, both them boys are tough as nails, and they both know how to fight. And if they ever do square off, it’ll be a barn burner, you can bet your bottom dollar on that.
