    He was landing nearly at will on a running shelled up fighter with much higher punch variety than 95% of other fighters.

    Nonsense, Alvarez has more wrinkles to his game than Browne. Alvarez would set traps for Beterbiev.

    Beterbiev, asked what's next. "A night of good's sleep :)"

    He then gives a vague answer saying to be the best you need to fight the best. That definitely isn't a callout, of anybody.

    For much of the fight I had a hard time deciding if AB was doing a good job cutting off the ring or if Browne just didn't care to move much.

    It was in the early rounds. Artur, as I suspected, has faded badly. That is plain to see.

    No, he doesn't need a "well deserved rest" that's been his main problem for the last half decade, he's not active enough. He should go get stitched up tonight, and get back in the gym on Monday, it's not like he's going to celebrate Christmas, then be ready to go again in March or April.

    A nasty bodyshot makes you stand up with no problem after the ref reaches the count of 10?

    No. AB knew he had more power and followed a game plan pretty similar to that of Canelo in his last fights. He started slow, but after the cut, he stepped up the pace, probably a bit earlier than planned. Had he not been cut I think the stoppage would have come 1-2 rounds later.

    But, they definitively should fight. Should Canelo win, his legacy is set, chicken energy booster or not. If Canelo loses, he found his level. (A Kovalev far past his prime who took the fight on short notice and probably wasn't in good physical shape, and possibly a win over a decent but not great cruiser champion - not the same IBHF litmus test).

    thats how you open the guard of a shelled up fighter. bounce his head back and hook into it. he was offering no resistance.

    The Artur of a few years ago was so much sharper and his reaction times quicker. The punches flowed smoother too.
