What should Melikuziev do next?

He needs a tune up. After that I would put him n in with a slick non-puncher to continue working on his defense as he attacks his opponents, and then step right up to the level he felt short on. Rematch Rosado if possible, or just move on to bugger and better things. It'll be a while before he works his way up into title contention. Maybe by the end of next year if it all goes well.

Missed the fight, but saw the brutal KO. Obviously a huge upset from Rosado, Bek had him down in the first and it sounded like he was dominating the fight before getting caught cold. This is a dude who was going to 175 to fight Kovalev. Considering what happened, what kind of path should Bek take to rebuild? What kind of opponents should he be looking for next? I’d give him an easy touch next tbh. Try to rebuild his confidence. He’s only like 25 I think so no need to rush him. He clearly needs more experience before facing a savvy veteran like Rosado again.

The uzbek team needs to find a new head trainer first. Joel Diaz isnt good enough to refine those styles. Madrimov looks sloppier each time and just tries to do youth bullying lately. Bektemir needs to develop a right hand. He doesnt even have a jab, just bounces in and unloads his deadly left. Cant work at elite level. Regarding who he should face next, Ryan Ford, DeAndre Ware, Truax would be sensible comeback opponents. Was thinking this myself. Having Diaz teaching the entire Uzbek team is a no go IMO.

Learn how to set up shots. Bek isn't the only Uzbek that does this. Whoever said these guys need a new trainer is right.

Learn how to duck.

Acquire more skill.

We have seen this with guys with power. Not sure why some seem shocked.

Posted during the fight how he was all power and nothing in between and how he was WIDE He needs to add a Jab for sure, you can't just throw all Power Punches to the body and be as Wide as he is and not expect to get clipped like that. So yeah just need to go back to the drawing board. You can tell he is very heavy handed and a big puncher so at 25 he can and will work his way back if Trained Correctly. Not sure Joel Diaz is the right guy to help Refine and/or teach BOXING TECHNIQUE though

couple of easier fights that he can concentrate on his technique. He was throwing wide with his hands low against an experienced pro. he can't expect to get away with that at this level...and he didn't.

Probably want to give him a couple fights to build back some confidence, right? Maybe a guy like Ulises Sierra? A KO like that this early in a career can be tough to come back from...
