    Imagine Beterbiev kept dragging world champions or former world champions up in weight from SMW or natural MW SMWs up in weight

    Whilst having spent his career shamelessly ducking the elite and elite world champions in his own weight class despite knowing he would have the huge advantage of a stacked deck of home advantage (be it Russia or Canada), home refs and three home judges vs foreign world champions and at worst an even playing field vs the elite from his own country

    And then after cherrypicking low risk William Scull as his next opponent dragging him up from SMW he proceeds to lose to him in the vast majority of observer's eyes, in Canada in front of his own fans, and spent most of the fight backpedaling around the ring in mortal fear of getting clipped by the wind of a punch with his face a mask of fear

    And he gets hurt, takes a knee after eating a jab to the eye before running over to his corner to take a timeout mid round, and even though it's a clear cut KD and the ref started to count the ref loses his bottle as he remembers who the A side is and changes his mind opting not to rule a clear cut KD a KD his ruling literally saved Beterbiev from a certain loss?

    He would get crucified for it even at 40 y/o

    Did you hear the chorus of boos as the decision was announced? Remember how much the PBC/Showtime hype machine have been ramming down our throats about how big a star and draw Twink is and he how he always packs out venues?

    Well, who was doing all the booing when they announced the decision and when Twink made excuses about grease getting in his eye for the KD? His own fans

    How can that not be anything other than exposed? Roach was a KO 40% cherrypick he dragged up in weight and he was supposed to make Twink look like a million dollars and be another HL reel KO on Twink's KO HL reel
