Artur Beterbiev v Adam Deines ESPN

[Spicoli]

So Beterbiev has returned to Russia today for the first time to make his 4th defense against one Adam Deines 19-1-1.

Azizbek Abdugofurov in currently into the 9th round with Pavel Silyagin spr middles. Abdugofurov is a seriously herky jerky you hit me I hit you sort of guy. Choppy awkward too.

[Spicoli]

My god Abdugofurov is crude for a guy so highly ranked. Looks like Silyagin in only his 7th start has been the sharper better boxer since the 9th into the 12th here.

[Spicoli]

Scores in 108-120..109-119..109-119 winner Silyagin and new wbc trinket holder. That's one way to clean sweep a belt off of a guy.

[Spicoli]

Guess my mind is made up, I'll take traditional Russian dancers over a mumble rapper lip syncing badly any day . That was actually interesting but pretty sure one of those gals had a beard.

[Spicoli]

Southpaw Deines already on the defense a minute in. Wonder what Beterbiev has been um eating. Guy is exceptionally cut..and down goes Deines on a right hand that bounced off the top of his head. Hurt, up and back to corner.

[Spicoli]

He reminds me off an Errol Spence the way he varies power on punches mid combo. Deines keeping distance in 2nd looks recovered. Gets in a decent left on Beterbiev who ends round walking Deines down.

[Spicoli]

Uppercuts of Beterbiev starting to come in the mix. Deines decent job of picking his spot to sit down and punch and then get out of there. Beterbiev with the much heavier more accurate lumber in 3rd.

[Spicoli]

Top notch Beterbiev combination punching with Deines trapped in the corner. Deines feeling it here late 4th and sponging some hard shots to the body.

[Spicoli]

Things get gritty early 5th they swap shoves and near rabbit punches. Couple of nice sneak straight lefts from Deines get in and moving out of corners. Beterbiev with the triple left hook, body head head. Better round for Deines

[Spicoli]

Looks like a small knot developing right side of Deines forehead? Beterbiev turning it up once again, 3,4 punch combos moving Deines around now. Not much coming back whenever Beterbiev steps on the gas and Deines huffing and puffing a bit.

[Spicoli]

Beterbiev working the mid section big in 7th. He does that tap, touch, punch punch thing. Dude has improved, very calculating with punch selection.

[Spicoli]

Deines is a tough nut though limited. Starting to get beat up a bit but staying in there as Beterbiev taking his time. Call me crazy, I'd be front row for a Beterbiev v Joe Smith Jr all belts unification. Like to see Beterbiev mash the gas into the 10th here. He lets himself get occasionally clipped with errant left hands

[Spicoli]

Ooh crafty quick combo drops Deines in 10th, corner waves it off as he rises. Nice tight finishing left shot there.

Beterbiev v Joe Smith Jr

Hard to think that one could go anywhere near the distance. I like it.
