Ok this is why Beterbiev is more effective than the eye test

Someone call a doctor. We need help removing tinman's tounge from Beterbiev's backside.

 

Maybe he does. It's just I find it weird when a grown man speaks about another man like that. Sounds like you love the dude. Would you buy his used jockstrap if you could?

 

I'm deeply in love with the sport, just not men. It's all good.

 

Cutting analysis right there. And here we were thinking he was just an oversized Malignaggi

 

I agree with Ward. When I fought amateur boxing, there were always 1 or 2 guys in the regional circuit in my weight class that no one wanted to fight. not because of their skill, just the strength of the mofo made you stay on your toes and sapped the energy out of you with each hit. Its much easier to figure out how to beat an opponent with more wrinkles to their game than it is to know you can't do anything but try to outlast or out-slug a brute.

 

Brute sometimes is very smart.
While people in forums not rare cases post that Beterbiev and Foreman didn't had skills, I do no agree.
Beterbiev was good ammy, not a superstar, still very experienced boxer. Yeah, he had lost vs Usyk and there people usually does mention Usyk's skills as a reason.
Prime Usyk for me was more close to ammy Usyk, he was unusually agile for his size and not only skilled.
For pros Usyk I think peaked 10 th pro fight and till 2 fights : vs Briedis in his prime and vs injury free Gassiev.

Foreman isn't usually called as very skilled but he was Olympic Gold medalist and supposedly unskilled Beterbiev had 1 gold and 1 silver medal at World Championships and also 2 euro continental championships Gold medals. Guys in forums are calling him as unskilled while boxers avoided to fight with him until he turned 36 y.o.

 

If Beterbiev was able to get better fights years ago, I doubt anyone would call him "basic". Management issues and injuries (getting older) shortened his potentially great career.

 

Only children and immature teenagers speak like you.

 

Well, between amateur and pro boxing there is a big difference and there is big reason why lads usually attempt to be great amateurs.
For a pro career usually there are 2 roads for A side guy: being good amateur picked up by impactful manager and promoter or LONG road.
In pro ranks a lot depends from money, this isn't amateur championship.
To get opponents, they should agree, their team, gym, managers, if they have also promoter, this too.
You should bring in money or someone who will invest in you for this.
You maybe are good tickets seller and might provide enough income till some level. Maybe superstar in amateurs with big sign up bonuses.

Pro boxing: there a lot of methods to avoid fight with opponent. It is career job as business.

Yeah, If you are very good in local gym, this does mean this level. Nothing wrong, this is cool.
To be the same amateur world champ: there are xxx experienced clubs, xx countries and huge number of lads who dream to get in this championship, also Games of course. You should be enough good even to get allowed to compete there, not alone to get some medal.
