    Waste of time fight Browne isn't good and can't take a punch. Beterbiev by brutal KO.

    Browne is a slick moving southpaw. You just never know with a slick southpaw. That type of fighter could lose to a club fighter and then in their next fight beat an ATG. We've seen happen in boxing. Some guys just have trouble dealing with that kind of style.

    But I'm still picking Beterbiev, but you never know how a fighter will react to a slick southpaw. We saw it with Usyk and AJ. Some guys just cant handle that style.

    Beterbiev is losing on points or getting stopped in the 11th. Browne will be to slick for the inactive, immobile, injury prone and aging Beterbiev. And he’s a southpaw.

    Browne doesn't have a good chin and he did need a scandalous gift from the home judges and ref to get past Hot Rod who Artur battered and stopped with ease. However, he does have talent and is a fast, skillful, long and rangy awkward southpaw with power in both hands who blows hot and cold and Artur turns 37 next month, has been very inactive, become very injury prone, and had heath issues of late and he didn't look good in his last fight.

    He's also got caught far too easily with that southpaw left straight down the pipe when facing southpaws and this fight is definitely a potential banana skin at this stage of his career. A few years ago I wouldn't have given Browne a chance but if anyone is going to beat him this is the best chance against this aged, inactive injury ravaged version. I'll have to see how he looks in the ring first.

    Beterbiev is not only a KO artist, he's also very skilful.But even if we will see some miracle performance from Browne and he would be leading by points, can't see how he would last all 12 rounds with his chin against Beterbiev.

    At some point Browne is going to get lit up like a firework.

    This is a winnable fight for Browne...Pascal is a difficult guy for anyone, he jumps in and out really quick, and could have been steroided out of his mind in this fight. Beterbiev is not as fast and just grinds down opponents, but if he doesn't reach Browne then he cant land, and might loose on the cards...or even get caught rushing in.

    Also if Arturs thinks he can go in and blast out Browne in one round because he was knocked down alot, he might be in for a long night with wrong strategy.

    Stop hyping this joke of a bum, the only reason you're selling this line of horse**** for Beterbiev... your beloved, is to raise the value of the win when he invariably end up looking great after he crushing him in a round. We already know how he does against southpaws, he beat Campillo with ease, and made Usyk look human.

    I don’t think AB will look that good tomorrow. He looked awful in his last bout and had this weight issue. It doesn’t help that he’s facing an above average southpaw. I like AB but I can’t imagine him improving at this age. A loss in the near future wouldn’t surprise me at all.

    Could be a good fight if Beterbiev is drained.

    I really dislike how late in the night the big fights start, especially for us East Coast ESBers. Sometimes the bell doesn't ring for the main event until the next day.

    And this only contributes to boxing's sleazy reputation. Nothing, but debauchery happens past 11pm.

    But what it really comes down to is we actually have to you know, sleep, so that we can wake up and go to work the next morning. I never call off work for fights though the temptation is there. I only did that for Pac and Kovalev fights because I was a massive raging superfan of Pac and Kovalev. Beterbiev is approaching that fandom though.
