“When I look at Beterbiev, I think of quicksand,” admitted Timothy. “You can box him, but eventually he will get to you and start slowing you down, after which you will fight by his rules. And the longer you’re in combat, the more the quicksand sucks you in.”
“That’s exactly what happened in the last fight,” says Bradley. – Yard fought courageously, boxed well from a distance. I would say that he definitely won a few early rounds. But the longer he was in battle, the more he risked, the more he faded away, moreover, faded sharply. Actually, this led to the fact that Beterbiev was able to complete the fight.
