This Tuesday a purse bid was held for getting the opportunity to present the WBC light heavyweight fight between the champion Artur Beterbiev and the mandatory challenger Marcus Browne. Top Rank won the rights to promote the fight with a bid of $1,105,000.
Beterbiev´s (16-0, 16 KO) las fight in March when he kayoed Adam Deines after more than a year of inactivity. Browne (24-1, 16 KO), who won the division silver title, comes from a win over Denis Grachev last April.
Sir Glass Jaw will be shattered
Marcus fought who to earn a shot? Easy comeback fight for Beterbiev. After shaking off the rust, I’d say 6th or 7th round stoppage, not without some theatrics from Browne.
This is likely Browne’s last big shot. I had high hopes for him coming out the amateurs’.
Ultra talented as an athlete, a lot like Chad Dawson. But with major personal/girlfriend issues.
Beterbiev is a refined Edison Miranda.
Not many are willing to get in with Beterbiev at all.
When fighters are inactive I stop giving a shit. Beterbiev had 1 fight in 17, one fight in 18, two in 19, 0 in 20 and so far 1 in 21.
Who cares? I guess we’ll see him a year and a half from now clubbing another under achiever into submission.
Same thing for Andrade and Gary Russell Jr.
I dont give a fuck.
