    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.

      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.

        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.
