The King is The King

New York, ESPN ; let’s say a reunion of three belts that lasted 5 minutes and 19 seconds.

That is; we are talking about a man Artur The King, who defeated, dethroned and demolished a world champion in less than two rounds.

We worried in advance about Smith Jr because we know his direct, frontal offensive boxing, but we hoped that against such a man as the Canadian ( Russian by birth but of North American adoption) he would change his tactical plan, but he did not, and the result was obvious.

Beterbiev was perfect; movements on the right and not immediately ready to accept the exchange, but hitting and moving, bringing his sets, we saw all the shots go in and the American really nothing could. The King as we have written is not from this planet or perhaps better said can be defeated by someone, who however must be from another planet. Smith did very badly to face him frontally, but of the rest perhaps he limited the damage; Artur we saw again very careful in defense very mobile and even more precise, and the thing makes us think that Bivol will not face him in this year because in this year and we think also for next year this fighter cannot be beaten.

Two rounds to see everything magical that boxing offers us, the movement the dodges, a master’s jab with the power of a jab, the underhand jabs, the right hook, the mobility of the trunk an eye ready to dodge and put back, a superiority so evident that there was strong doubt that there was a challenge for a unification of titles, but after all when your opponent is The King anyone can become an amateur boxer in the presence of an infinite champion.

We know the American has heart, fist and jaw, but that may be okay when you meet everyone but him because he Beterbiev is really from another planet!!!

There is not much to say Beterbiev has accomplished his 18 masterpiece by entering rightfully into the hall of fame, an important note, as his opponent yesterday also liked the Americans very much for his style, which is not loved much for his tactics but tonight it was all magic.
