    Yep, that is the problem with this fight. Hot Rod has the ability to beat Beterbiev, no doubt in my mind. However, actually executing the right gameplan is another story. In his fight with Browne, he was a bit too eager to engage Browne inside. That is stupid against Beterbiev, since I think that Beterbiev's best path to victory. But I will also say this, Kala hurt Browne bad in their fight and I don't think Beterbiev has an iron chin (he's been dropped a couple of times). Beterbiev might not be able to fight off his backfoot and maybe Hot Rod can hurt/clip him going forward. And if Kalajdzic uses some lateral movement, I think that'll also cause Beterbiev problems as I think he is a plodder who probably only has average speed.

    All that said, Beterbiev's power is for real and most likely he clips Kalajdzic in an exchange because Hot Rod gets too brave for his own good. Still this fight is much more intriguing than the Canelo-Jacobs fight. While I like the Miracle Man, I don't think he has much of a chance unless Canelo absolutely gasses in the later rounds.

    Ye Iam a chef mate it’s a brutal career choice and one I regularly regret lol, I literally have no social life, this weekend is worse though as it’s bank holiday here in England I don’t know if you are from here yourself but basically we get about 8 a year and nearly everyone is off work except the hospitality industry

    Iam a laid back person so it’s not so stressful for me as it is for others, it’s not too bad but Iam from an area with very few jobs and the wages are well below the national average, around here you’re lucky to have a job so in that respect I can’t complain really. It’s hard work mentally and physically believe it or not, today I worked 12 hours and walked 21000 steps and my phone was on charge for a couple of hours lol, the hardest part is actually going without food for hours at a time because it’s too busy to get a break, like that quote ‘water all around and not a drop to drink’
    Except it’s ‘food all around and not a bite to eat’

    You know what I’ve always found interesting? When kids’ shows make references to decidedly non-kid-friendly shows/movies.

    Like that episode of Arthur that referenced South Park.
