Comments Thread For: No signs of Artur Beterbiev aging, no lingering problems from surgery, says assistant trainer

[Groin Grabber]

It's not like he had reconstructive knee surgery. He had a meniscus shave.

Karl-Anthony Towns and Joel Embiid had the same injury last year during the NBA season. Towns returned in just 4 weeks, Embiid in 8 weeks, and those guys are ~300 pounds and 7 feet tall. In general it's a 6-8 week recovery timeline for most people.

He might have some arthritis in the knee as he ages but it's not going to impact him much if at all now.

Basketball is a contact sport and, in case you hadn't noticed, involves quite a bit of jumping, running, and changing direction. Beterbiev will comparatively be putting far less stress on his knees. He's a much smaller man who will not be jumping or running anywhere.

It isn't. They just pounce around, shoot the ball or dunk with isn't often. Soon as they get close to a player from the opposing team they flop for a foul. Sad af honestly. Also they're not getting punched in the head

We're talking about the effects of a minor knee surgery here. Basketball is extremely rough on the knees, especially for guys as large as Embiid and Towns.

Good for Bet that Biv isn’t a dirty fighter

stepping on Bet’s lead foot to make him lose his balance and slip would test that knee

Basketball isn't as rough on the knees as any other sport. First of all the court isn't that big and they take time out and have someone else take their place. Cut it out

What's else is he gonna say?

"Yeah Artur is looking old. That knee is gonna be a big problem vs someome with intelligent feet like Bivol".

If Bivol wins, I'm sure so some thinly veiled excuses will come out about the quick turnaround in rescheduling after the injury.

Never in your life will Beterbiev make an excuse & if he does... I'll never believe in anything ever again lol.

Maybe not from the man himself. It doesn't mean his team wouldn't.

Yeah, good point.

Undisputed is downloading to my ps5 right now. Got the WBC edition with Fury on the cover I'll put Beterbive and Bivol against each other and let the CPU duke it out and see who wins
