Comments Thread For: John Scully: Artur Beterbiev is focused on Dmitry Bivol, not David Benavidez

[Superbee]

Bivol won the first time. No reason to think he won’t be even better against an over 40 Beterbiev, no matter how much they are in denial about him aging.

I don't see what Bivol can do more than he did in the 1st fight...Going back to his standard In and Out will only expose himself more to Artur overhand right... And trading with Beterbiev won't work either, as we could see...Sad to say but unless the possible "Things Happen..." Bivol will have to bow and accept his "Second Best Thing" status...Great Fighter though...

I think the fact that he was coming off an injury and all made more distractions and brought out a timid Beterbiev
I think he jumps on him from the get go

I think you're right, but it didn't seem like timidity so much as his way of showing ring rust.
So the big question mark on Beterbiev is his age, we all know that.
And we (well, geneticists, anyways) know that aging is controlled by genes and the configuration of DNA in our genes. They (those science guys) don't understand how it all works, but they think it's possible to eventually manipulate, by way of gene therapy and genetic engineering how we age or if we age at all.
We also know that all evolution is the result of spontaneous genetic mutations that offer evolutionary advantages to those affected individuals (whatever species they belong to) and thus are more likely to survive and pass along whatever the new traits are to future generations.
So what if Beterbiev is one of those spontaneous mutations wherein his body stays in its current slightly post-peak condition for the rest of his life? It's theoretically possible.
In that scenario, Beterbiev keeps beating the fcuking snot out of the LHW division forever.
King Artur indeed.
