Followers are criticizing Keyshawn for hinting that the two-time Olympian Beterbiev is a cheat, as he’s by no means examined optimistic for PEDs throughout his 11-year skilled profession, and he’s at all times been an enormous puncher since his novice days in Russia.
He’s a man that’s blessed with monumental energy and has the power to throw brief punches with numerous steam. Most fighters need to load as much as generate energy, however Beterbiev doesn’t need to.
“I’m not going to say that as a result of I’m going to be within the headlines, however I’m going to go along with the boxer at all times. I’m going to go along with Bivol for certain,” stated Keyshawn Davis to Fighthype, choosing Dmitry Bivol to defeat Artur Beterbiev on Saturdday night time in Riyadh.
“Beterbiev, he’s so unnaturally sturdy,” stated Keyshawn whereas widening his eyes in a touch that one thing isn’t proper with Beterbiev. “It’s laborious to beat unnatural s*** in the event you perceive what I’m saying. If he comes pure, Bivol ought to win. But when he comes unnaturally sturdy, it’s laborious beating one thing like that.”
If Bivol loses, it gained’t be resulting from something unnatural on Beterbiev’s half. He’s a greater fighter than Bivol, who has already proven chin issues prior to now towards lesser fighters.
If Keyshawn had the type of energy that Beterbiev possessed, he’d be a extra common fighter and a light-weight, and he wouldn’t be fighting the lesser fighters that High Rank has been feeding him. He’s not regarded good in two out of his final three fights towards Miguel Madueno and Nahir Albright.
It’s fairly clear from watching these fights that Keyshawn isn’t going wherever, and High Rank wasted their time signing him after his loss to Cuba’s Andy Cruz within the 2020 Olympics. They need to have signed Cruz fairly than Keyshawn. It was a mistake on their half.
