Artur Beterbiev suffered a ruptured meniscus

Postponed fight with a broken meniscus?

Are you sure that the injury is a broken meniscus? if that's the injury the fight will be postponed, yes..... forever.

 

Huge fan of Beterbiev and hope he demolishes Bivol. Although, he’s been pulling out of fights since like 2013 with injuries.

 

So you're saying his boxing skills are woeful?

 

Nuh uh

 

I'm saying that without his power he is average, and that we wouldnt win more than 2 rounds to bivol if you remove his ridicoulous power from him (you just leave "normal" power). That's what I said.

 

Broken
Torn
Ruptured

All different things with very different meanings and outcomes.

He had preventative surgery in 2022 I believe on his knees where they "cleaned" out the tissue area. He resumed training camp October 2022 at full capacity after that.

His knees are a problem

 

If he was on the sauce the chances of these injuries decreases as the body recovers much quicker

 

His boxing skills are decent but his power is the weapon that can turn the fight around.

He won't outbox Bivol though

Before the injury I had Bivol winning the fight and then getting caught and slowed down and stopped

Now I am not so sure. Maybe Beterbiev can recover fully but I doubt it.

 

My best friend fractured his meniscus at age 16 and has still issues with his knees 15 years later. Imagine having that at age 38

 

Yeah, for sure.

If Haney weighed 171lbs versus Garcia, he should only be up to about 177lbs after eating some humble pie.
Definitely could shed those 2 lbs inside of 3 weeks.
He is great at cutting weight.

Main problem is, how does he keep that Bivol jab off of him..

Bivol KO

 

Not necessarily a great first post, but I just wanted to pop your like cherry

 

Bad injury. He'll need from six months to a year for recovery. Not insurmountable especially since he is in superb physical condition.

 

None of the weights he's lifting in that video are particularly heavy and weightlifting makes the body more durable not less. He is doing some weird exercises though, like those landmine twists and block bench press.

 

Let's hope so.

 

I feel sorry for guys like Beterbiev who had to go so deep into their amateur careers.

Imagine how his career would have been if he turned over at around 21.

This was the career defining fight but at 39, the body might be breaking down.
