Artur will never "look" impressive. He will never wow the casual fan or the talking heads on TV. And neither will he wow most of you here. Best believe though hes every bit as good as advertised and then some. He is H2H one of the best fighters ever at 175. But he will never wow people because his style is built on brute strength. Not flashy footwork, counters, speed, power, etc. Just straight up physicality. Carlos Monzon and George Foreman never wowed the press or the fans. When Monzon came to America the press said he looked basic. They couldnt understand what the hype was about. Because he wasnt flashy. He simply destroyed you with strength. The results speak for themselves. 17-0 with 17 KOs. But for a lot of people out there the results arent as important as flashy footwork and speed.
Yea, but did he use flashy Loma footwork? Or Tyson head movement and combos? That's the real question here.
Beterbiev always throws short-arm punches and destroys his opponents. You can never see him throwing overhand punches. I still don't understand how he manages to load that much power to those short-range shots. Very interesting.
I've been championing him since 2015 when I saw him obliterate Campillo. I am just glad he is getting the recognition he finally deserves even though he only has a solid year or two left in his career. I hope he smashes Canelo before he retires though.
Watch his training videos. And his fights in slow motion; he rotates his hips as well as the shoulder. His legs are bent and the power comes from the torso. If you train for it, it will eventually become natural.
Most people slept on him. I've been hyping him since early 2017. His style isnt flashy. Also, hes too humble for credit. If he said to Canelo "suck my balls" then the media would instantly proclaim him ATG.
