Who Next For Artur

koolkc1079y ago

Just a demolition for Beterbiev. No towels needed cuz he didn't break a sweat. So, who is next? If he gets a title shot against one of the three top guys, great. But, Ward and Krusher have unfinished business and you can bet Adonis is going to take some stall fight so he can stay positioned for the winner. So, assuming the top 3 are off limits for 2017, who does he fight to make him THE GUY in early 2018? I say a gatekeeper like Pascal (if Jean is still at it) or a young gun like Barrera. And yeah, power-wise, Joe Smith might be a goody. Thoughts?

Comments (19)

I would like to see what happens if Beter gets caught a good shot. And yeah, he could move his head more. But, he looks like the real deal so far and his feet tell me his defense might be a little better than some are giving him credit for. He moves really well in the ring. Most guys I've seen who move like that are at least decent defensively when they need to be. So far, Beter hasn't needed to be.

9y ago

I dunno who beats Bet outside of Kov and Stevenson and possibly Ward. That's it. All these guys like Smith and Barrera would get their arse handed to them. Exactly what Beterbiev needs until a Title shot window opens for him... Barrera, Gvozdyk, Mikhalkin...

Oleksandr Gvodyk. Smith can fight Nathan Cleverly. sadly Gvozdyk already said no :(

9y ago

IBF eliminator in Feb on the Bute-Alvarez card. Who's up top on IBF ranking, Marcus Browne I think.

9y ago

I want to see him KO barrera

9y ago

FinitoxDinamita

He needs to be tested against somebody with a pulse like smith or Barrera.

9y ago

Oleksandr Gvodyk. Smith can fight Nathan Cleverly.

9y ago

I'd like to see him vs Stevenson. I think Putting Smith with him now would just ruin Smith, I don't like Smiths chances, Smith should face Gvozdyk or Barrera, building a better record before he takes a loss, because I think the guy has skills and potential, just beating a killer like Beterbiev is a bit much to ask for. It will also do well for Beterbiev's resume to have a more accomplished Smith Jr.

9y ago

put the pimp to sleep please.

9y ago

For those that didn't watch it

9y ago

Joe Smith, Barrera or even Stevenson. He's ready to announce himself as a top contender/champion.

9y ago

Apparently they want to bring him back for February in the USA for a possible IBF title eliminator.

9y ago

Joe Smith Jr

9y ago

Honestly, I don't think he gets a champ, but I see him vs Joe smith, or even pascal or Sullivan Barrera, a legit top 10 guy

9y ago

He should fight Pascal or Bute next

9y ago

He should face barrera next.

9y ago

i hope for an adonis fight but he has to fight alvarez first, right?

9y ago

Adonis sh1tkenson, is he not a real champ or what?????
