Andre Ward vs Artur Beterbiev

Maybe I could have beat Ward then.

 

I'd favour you with your little todger. I'd have no chance. I'm 14 inches. On the slack.

 

This. Beterbiev retired Ward

 

Ok I was a wrestler in high school and I know that isnt the highest level of combat sport, but hear me out.

Sometimes you will come across that rare guy (happened to once in hundreds of matches) that is so physically strong that your skill and technique becomes mostly irrelevant. I couldn't do any of the moves against that guy because he was so much physically stronger than me my shots would just get blocked by pure raw strength.

That is Beterbiev. He is the boxing version of that. He just suffocates any gameplan you have with pure raw phsycial strength.

Andre Ward said it best "Usually I go with the guy who has more than one dimension and can win a fight in multiple ways, but Beterbiev is different. Physically hes a hard man".

 

i know what people see. but you have to be aware of the pattern behind the hyping of beterbiev. you have to be aware of the insecurities at play.
