Javier Ortega Nieto Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Re: Finally Artur Beterbiev is back Beterbiev should already look for a fight with the greats of the division. It would be fantastic to see Kovalev cross bombs or Stevenson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cableaddict Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Re: Finally Artur Beterbiev is back Beterbiev should already look for a fight with the greats of the division. It would be fantastic to see Kovalev cross bombs or Stevenson. It WILL be, down the road, no doubt! But it WON"T be anytime soon. A huge puncher like Artur always has a chance against anyone, but he has shown pretty huge holes in his defense up to now, and both Kovalev & the rapist can pretty much ruin your night with one punch. That's a bad combination. I want to see a complete Beterbiev against both of those guys, and I would HATE to see him lose a few fights before ever getting the chance. Therefore, IMO he needs 3-4 more development fights, and against highly-skilled but not too powerful opponents. Let's see if his time off has been used to hone his defensive skills, and without much danger of being KO'd himself. Give him a chance to humiliate Stevenson in about a year. THEN feed him to Sergey, sit back, and make some popcorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxingbruiser2015 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Re: Finally Artur Beterbiev is back Good to see him back and in shape. What do you think he will do now? Could he shake up the boxing world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cableaddict Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Re: Finally Artur Beterbiev is back After this unknown guy he's fighting in June, if he looks really good, Artur will probably face one of the highly-ranked guys that have no business being there, like Sean Moneghan, Felix Valera, or Elieder Alvarez. (How DA FUCK are these guys in the top 5?) Actually, Valera is about to be fed to Dimity Bivol, so that's the end of HIM. (Bivol will quite possibly kill him. Literally KILL him.) Alvarez would be my pick because he at least has a couple of wins over recognizable names, and is (I suppose) a legitimate top-ten fighter. Monaghan would be a complete waste of time, like AJ fighting Martin. I think Fonfara would be the perfect next (third) opponent. Fonfara is still ranked very high by several organizations (slightly higher than Artur.) Fonfara has lots of high level experience, fan recognition, and yet is not too heavy-handed. Fonfara is also pretty skilled. He's exactly the right guy to test Beterbiev's defense, without too much danger. If Artur can beat both Alvarez & Fonfara, (and especially if he can win a DECISION against Fonfara, and look good for 12 rounds in the process,) then he will have finally arrived on the big stage. Maybe Ward after that, who would have by then probably lost to Sergey and would be desperate for a big name fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cableaddict Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Re: Finally Artur Beterbiev is back Indeed! He still has some learnin' to do, but he's one of the most exciting fighters to watch, pretty much ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cableaddict Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Re: Finally Artur Beterbiev is back There is another Chechen light heavy prospect who fights this weekend. Umar Salamov, 20 years, stands 6'4, with a record of 15-0 with 12 ko's. Oh Lordy, YES! Salamov could be the next Kovalev. 6’ 3” - Long arms and incredible hand speed. Great balance & footwork, aggressive as heck. What's not to love? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Ortega Nieto Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Re: Finally Artur Beterbiev is back That desire to see this terrible puncher's next light heavyweight champion. The Kovalev and company must be careful when this devil has the opportunity to seize their titles. I would love to see him against Ward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pittbox Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Re: Finally Artur Beterbiev is back Maderna lasted full distance with hard-hitting Edwin Rodriguez and even dropped him himself. He may be Beterbiev's toughest opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
