Comments Thread For: Beterbiev Trainer on Smith Fight: Artur Has a Little Bit More Boxing Ability

ok, Beterbiev and Bivol probably don't move up to Cruiserweight either.

Bivol? No. But Beterbiev likely will and can certainly do it.

Is that what it takes to be great? Moving to and grabbing a belt off a weak champ? I’d rather go for undisputed and rule the division like Hagler than move up and fight someone like Junior Makabu

I was impressed how well Beterbiev fought off the back foot. Granted it wasn't very long but his counters off the book foot looked better than his front foot aggression in previous fights.

Seriously? Marc Ramsay isn’t new, he’s trained a bunch of former champs. Jean Pascal, David Lemieux, worked with Adonis Stevenson, Eleider Alvarez big list.

....Good to know.

Top Rank arranging and announcing Beterbiev's next fight without even letting Beterbiev or his trainer know the plans.

They must have known the WBO's time line for a mandatory defence before the negotiations even began with Smith.

Yard vs Ramariz in a title eliminator let bivol and beterbiev fight while the iron is hot fresh of a canelo schooling and a smith killing

Arum to Team Beterbiev: "You'll fight who I tell you, when I tell you, and how I tell you."
