Marc Ramsey is pleased with the work ethic of his super middleweight fighter Christian Mbilla. The coach believes Mbilli’s progress has earned the player a positive reputation, which is reflected in the rankings.

The 29-year-old Mbilli, ranked No. 2 and No. 3 in the WBO and IBF rankings respectively, is fighting for the 168-pound title after an impressive 10-round unanimous decision victory over Sergiy Derevyanchenko last month in Quebec City, Canada.

Mbilli, a French Cameroonian fighter, has steadily risen to become one of the hottest fighters at 168 after recording wins over Rohan Murdock and Mark Heffron earlier this year.

According to Ramsey, unified lithe heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev, whom he also trains, has raised the level of training in the gym.

“I want [Beterbiev] focus on his own thing, but still influences the rest of the gym to follow his ethics in training and as a professional,” Ramsey told Pro Boxing Fans. “And now it’s Christian Mbilli’s turn to follow in his footsteps. A very dedicated warrior, very trainable and talented, robust and has many tools.

“Christian also became an example for fresh and future players. I have some fresh potential clients and they all admire Christian and Artur, which is the reputation this gym currently has.

The hard-hitting Mbilli is on track to be considered a future opponent by 168-pound superstar Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, who dominated Edgar Berlanga in a unanimous decision last month. The unified 168-pound champion is considering his options and could decide to fight the winner of Saturday’s undisputed 175-pound championship fight between Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol.

Asked if his fighter would consider fighting Alvarez next, Ramsey said promoters Top Rank need to decide what’s best for Mbilla.

“We don’t know yet,” Ramsey said. “Christian underwent minor surgery right after his last fight. He’s fine now, but the decision will be made by the promoters. If it is Canelo, we will be very joyful. But we don’t want to wait for Canelo.

“We want to keep pushing [Mbilli]work with him technically and tactically to be prepared when the phone rings. Boxing is always a matter of timing, but we have this project and we really believe that we will achieve the goal with them at some point without a doubt.

Call him Mr. Perfect. With a record of 20-0 and all 20 victories coming by knockout, Artur Beterbiev strikes fear into the hearts of his opponents, forcing those who share the ring with him to face the haunting question: is his power real and can I match it? resist ?

Every punch landed by Beterbiev should be treated as a potential KO punch. He is able to physically and mentally dismantle his enemies, leaving them bloody, battered and confused.

But Beterbiev, the WBC, IBF and WBO airy heavyweight champion who will face WBA champion Dmitry Bivol for the undisputed championship on Saturday (ESPN+, 6 p.m. ET), is more than just a punch; it is also a merciless technical predator bent on destruction. Beterbiev combines his strength and punching power with infinite willpower.

And Bivol is not just a intelligent boxer; he is an wise tactician, a true wizard in the ring and a technical master who continues to rise above the competition. I see him as a master swordsman, primarily moving in and out of range with ease and displaying a uncommon combination of precision, strength and strategic brilliance.

Let’s also take into account that Beterbiev’s return from a knee injury is a concern. Former middleweight champion Sergio Martinez and former junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman suffered similar injuries that circumscribed their mobility.

Bivol and Beterbiev rely primarily on a high guard to defend themselves, which exposes their bodies. This can create an opportunity to hurt and weaken each of them. It will be captivating to see who exactly uses this strategy in hopes of destroying the other.

Let’s take a look at the Beterbiev-Bivol fight – who has the advantage and how the fight may go.

Keyshawn Davis suggested that three-lane lightweight heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev cheated to gain power ahead of his fight with Dmitry Bivol. Lightweight fighter Keyshawn says IBF, WBC and WBO 175-pound champion Beterbiev (20-0, 20 KO) is “Unnaturally forceful” and that if he “comes naturally” he will lose the fight against WBA champion Bivol (23-0, 12 KO) on Saturday evening in Riyad.

Fans are criticizing Keyshawn for suggesting that two-time Olympian Beterbiev is a cheater because he has never tested positive for PEDs in his 11-year professional career and has always hit well since his amateur days in Russia.

He is a guy endowed with enormous power and able to deliver miniature punches with great force. Most fighters need to charge up to generate power, but Beterbiev doesn’t have to.

“I won’t say it because it will make headlines, but I will always stick with the boxer. I will definitely choose Bivol,” said Keyshawn Davis Fightchoosing Dmitry Bivol to beat Artur Beterbiev on Saturday night in Riyad.

“Beterbiev, he’s so unnaturally forceful,” Keyshawn said, widening his eyes to indicate that something was wrong with Beterbiev. “It’s demanding to beat unnatural shit, if you know what I’m saying. If it comes naturally, Bivol should win. But if he comes unnaturally forceful, it will be hard to defeat something like that.

If Bivol loses, it won’t be because of something unnatural on Beterbiev’s part. He is a better fighter than Bivol, who has shown problems with his chin in the past against weaker fighters.

If Keyshawn had the power that Beterbiev had, he would be a more popular lightweight fighter and wouldn’t be fighting the weaker fighters that Top Rank feeds him. He hasn’t looked good in two of his last three fights against Miguel Madueno and Nahir Albright.

It’s clear from watching these fights that Keyshawn isn’t going anywhere and Top Rank wasted their time signing him after his loss to Cuban Andy Cruz at the 2020 Olympics. They should have signed Cruz and not Keyshawn. It was a mistake on their part.
