And with that age, comes Donaire's knowledge and experience, he might not have the speed just like when he was in his prime, however, his timing is still perfect for this division, that's why he was able to knock out younger boxer than him, until he hit a snag on a prime Inoue.
In any case, we should give Donaire his due if ever this fight pushes, and we can say that his chances are still very high to win this fight.
For all we know, this might not last the full 12 rounds or go to the judges scorecard.
Yeah timing is what Donaire will take advantage, he knows that Maloney is not an easy opponent and also have that capability in throwing solid punches if he will be lazy not to prepare for this fight, though for sure the flash always take each fight as serious as it will be his last fight, we will expect him to analyze Maloney and he will adjust appropriately.
Experienced with proper executions, that's how I see Donaire once this fight takes place.
This reminds me of the old saying that my grandfather says: "Old dog barks lying down" and it is yes, with the experience that Donaire has it is something unique, it is not that he is that old, in fact I think that a more mature boxer knows very well well how to manage his times and apart from everything he knows his body very well and knows what his abilities are, what he can and cannot do, so I see this as an advantage, also that a young boxer does not have these cares, so it is more towards risk or something and although it is good, when it comes to someone with experience it is different, however this will be interesting if it happens with Nonito.
After Beterbiev knocked down Yarde, he's calling for Jake Paul to fight with him lol. I believe Paul will act like he never know anything and avoid to fight with Beterbiev, because he will get knock out in just few seconds. Paul know if he's a nothing in boxing and he has many option to cherry pick a new opponent.
I was misled here. I thought Beterbiev really calls for Jake Paul for a fight lol.
Someone like him won't just engage in a non-sense fight without a reason.
The story is, Beterbiev just responded to Jake Paul's taunt in one of the latter's streams. That triggered Beterbiev to call for organizing a fight against the hype Youtuber turned into a boxing personality. Jake Paul won't risk his life against Beterbiev lol. Good thing though that Beterbiev reacted to that taunt as that turned Jake Paul into a silent shit. No response until now.
In these types of events it is good that Bterbiev did and left that, because he first did it once he defeated Yarde, he is not like other Canelo-style boxers who has not even fought his previous fight and is challenging other opponents, making a fool of himself. to the opponent who has to fight, however, we can say that Beterbiev is one of the boxers who took the most care in that sense because he did not start saying it to the vox populi or in a mockery way, Jake Paul can hide wherever he wants, it is also known that Beterbiev would kill him after about 10 seconds of the fight, for this reason a boxer must always maintain his good reputation.
Boxing pound-for-pound rankings: Artur Beterbiev wins but doesn't impress; where does he land?Light heavyweight unified champion Artur Beterbiev defended his three world titles with an eighth-round TKO victory over Anthony Yarde on Jan. 28 in London. It was Beterbiev's 19th stoppage victory in 19 professional fights. He's the only current champion with 100% KO accuracy.
However, for many of our panelists, the victory wasn't impressive enough to move him up on the pound-for-pound list. Beterbiev got hit, a lot, and Yarde was up in two of the three scorecards when the fight as stopped.
"It was another impressive win for Beterbiev, but not enough to leapfrog Errol Spence Jr., who's defeated better competition," ESPN boxing writer Mike Coppinger said about keeping Beterbiev at No. 8 on his list. "Beterbiev will need to face [Dmitry] Bivol if he wants to move up in the ranks."
Others, like ESPN writer Ben Baby, moved Beterbiev high on the list because while he gets hit, Beterbiev is still dominating.
