Comments Thread For: Gvozdyk Believes Beterbiev Is 'Falling Apart' As He Approaches 40 Years Old

[Poopdick]

Before Beterbiev's fight with Joe Smith, ESPN had a two part special on Beterbiev and Smith in training for their fight. The problem with Beterbiev in his training, he uses to much damm weights. It showed him, doing leg lifts with numerous numerous lbs. of weights. At his age, style of fighting, he can do with the heavy weightlifting. He needs to adjust his overall training for a forty year old body.

damn. these top guys need to look at bringing you into the mix

How can he be salty? The guy retired after that fight. If that isn't a 'he got my number, I haven't got it in me anymore' humility then I don't know what is

Because he got totally outboxed, fully outclassed and completely destroyed by a Russian. PS And now he still has it? And is going to last more than 4 rounds against Benevidez?

No idea how he'll do vs Benavidez. Probably get KO'd. I never said he still has it.

Also if you watch the fight, he won the first half of the fight, and then he totally gassed out.

To me, salty = claiming to have been robbed, demanding a rematch, etc.

Retiring is a sign that he accepted he was done and was beaten by someone better and that he could do no more in boxing.

Coming back is just his job. He's trying to earn some money again.

He gased out because it took everything he had just to be sort of competitive for half the fight. Salty also means bitter and resentful. But honestly, he knows he's not really coming back, so this is his last chance at a decent payday, thus the willingness to get KOeD.
