Artur Beterbiev v Marcus Browne Espn+

You know what's weird. Lots of people came out saying how Canelo is ducking 175 in his quest to beat a Bellew ko victim at cruiser...yet no one is talking about the top guys at 175 :-X. Self included. Literally not a peep. Dmitry Bivol made his 7th defense this week and won yet another 12 round paint by the numbers type performance. Tonight Beterbiev looks to get his mandatory 24-1 Marcus Browne dispatched of up in Canada eh and hopefully Top Rank steps on the gas with a big fight and actually promotes him. After the unification with Gvozdyk I had high hopes 175 would take off. Still waiting into 2022 now with Joe Smith Jr in the mix. Be good to see Beterbiev though, 26 or 36 the guy has a genuine mean streak and quality mix with the hands but shouldn't sleep on Browne here.

Doesn’t appear they intend to promote Beterbiev with this card they put together. They made an entertaining card for Loma. But not here.

Saw some quick chatter of he and Bivol possibly next year. Something has to give. For all we know Canelo pulls a u turn and comes calling, least if we believe Bob :-X

Would love it. They’ve been the top 2 for long enough. Decide it.

1-0 Browne

2-0 Browne

Artur needs to get to work on breaking this man. So far Browne has him sitting watching

Browne with a decent 1st conscious of Beterbiev cutting him off. Brown going to corner to corner in 2nd more active nothing major. Beterbiev gonna start rolling them off soon more he willingly goes to corner.

First good hard right for Beterbiev on ropes...Browne is positioning himself for a really bad night down stretch he keeps retreating to them. Beterbiev 3rd

Beterbiev finally doing some work. Close round.

2-1 Browne

Browne knotted hair didn't help that both busted up and leaking off headbutt.

Clash of heads, both cut, Beterbiev cut worse.

2-2 will probably be stopped soon

Beterbiev needs to go James Toney v Little he's moving and hurting him. 4th Beterbiev. Would suck to see this end off cuts

Think the doctor said 1 more round

Browne doing this punching from the backseat stuff not exactly overly committing. Time to close the show me thinks Beterbiev 5th all over Browne.

Was Browne’s round for 2:00+ but Beterbiev took it down the stretch and won it clearly

3-2 Beterbiev

Man now that is nasty. Worse than Badou Jack crimson Canyon on his forehead?
