Artur Asilbekovich Beterbiev vs. Marcus Recardo Browne & Steve Rolls vs. Christopher Brooker RBR.

Time to see the LDBC cry in like 30 minutes time as their man gets whooped.

 

Omg....they playing the old Soviet Anthem

 

Before this fight gets started I have just have to say ... that last fight set women's boxing back five years. Lozano was 9-0 but her opponents had won a total of five fights. Somehow, this amateurish pro was fighting for a world title. Not a good look.

 

National anthems, the extended version

 

Prediction inside four for the champ

 

After that excrutiating undercard ... nothing less than Matt Franklin-Marvin Johnson III will suffice.

These guys need to bring it.

 

Browne Rocking the “Nate Robinson” looking trunks.

 

If Beterbiev doesn't put him away it might be because he lost a step or two but it could also be a ploy to try and get a Canelo payday.

 

Anyone noticed how PBC sneakily managed to get their logo into a Top Rank show? Bob must be fuming!

 

Was it on purpose?

Personally I think it's one of the best, if not the best, national anthems. No real damage happened.

 

Ok I’m at work and just jumped on Boxrec for a second to check something. On Beterbievs page it lists him as the #2 Lt heavy in the world. Curiosity killed the cat I had to se who they had at #1.

Callum Smith……

The **** you say….

Decided to have a look at this and see if that is actually true. From lightweight down through fly you've got at least a handful of talented women (though you might be hard pressed to literally find ten of them). In fact a majority of their p4p top-20 is drawn from that range.

Lightweight: Katie Taylor, Melissa St. Vil, Estelle Mossely, Jennifer Han, Heather Hardy
Super feather: Delfine Persoon, Mikaela Mayer, Alycia Baumgardner, Maiva Hamadouche, Erica Farias, Hyun Mi Choi
Feather: Amanda Serrano, Yamileth Mercado, Erika Rosalba Cruz Hernández, Jelena Mrjenovich
Super bantam: Daniela Romina Bermudez, Jackie Nava, Mariana Juarez,
Bantam: Dina Thorslund, Zulina Munoz, Shannon Courtenay
Super fly: Lourdez Juarez, Yessica Chavez, Diana Laura Fernández Ortiz
Fly: Marlen Esparza, Ibeth Zamora Silva, Naoko Fujioka, Arely Mucino

So that makes seven weight classes where you don't just have a titlist or two surrounded by complete incompetence, or worse, zero p4p caliber talents in the division. Of that list, though, a few thin out really quick past the names mentioned. Really only lightweight and super feather, which also happen to be the most stacked at the very top, have a vaguely strong corps of secondary and tertiary contenders.

 

WAR Beterbiev.
