Artur Beterbiev vs. Gabriel Campillo

Pepsi Coliseum, Quebec City, Canada, April 4

Crossroads fights are typically intriguing because it pits youth versus experience. But the on-paper edge in experience for Campillo (25-6-1, 12 KOs) is diminished when you consider Beterbiev (7-0, 7 KOs) demolished Tavoris Cloud who defeated Campillo in 2012. Campillo's southpaw style shouldn't be a factor since Beterbiev tangled with many a lefty at the highest level of the sport as an amateur. The Rookie Russian should annihilate the seasoned Spaniard inside of five rounds.

Afterthoughts:

Another good call. Beterbiev should go on to achieve some great feats in the sport provided his chin proves sturdy.
