    What a bunch of BS. The guy says he doesn't think Beterbiev has fought anyone. After he dispatches them they say well that guy wasn't that good. That is only because he makes them not look that good. There is no way you can say he hasn't fought anyone when he has faced Gvozdyk, who was considered a formidable opponent at the time. Look at AB's last 9 fights. Look at his opponents' records. Most had no losses or only one loss. I can't stand it when a fighter is not given his due. And Smith is not his toughest opponent. Smith can punch but he also looks shopworn.

    When Beterbiev has been knocked down he has not appeared to be hurt. It is more of a balance issue.

    Beterbiev looks scary

    Aura around him screams of danger

    No, I just think he is unjustly criticizing Beterbiev.

    Have to go with BETERBIEV. Smith has certainly shown himself to be better than many thought, but this seems like a bridge too far.

    Beterbiev decision or very late ko. Smith is too tough to go out early or mid rounds

    Beterbiev is one of the most aggressive fighters in the sport. He's pure seek and destroy and is constantly putting himself in harm's way right in the danger zone so obviously he's going to get hit a lot more than safety first risk averse boxers or fighters with less aggressive styles. And LHW is full of big punchers and KO artists so these shots coming back at him aren't love taps.

    LHW can boast some of the sport's biggest punchers and KO artists in recent times

    Beterbiev
    Adonis
    Kovalev

    Then you have the second and third tiers who are very big puncher or who can punch

    The KD against Jeff Page was a balance issue where Page cracked him with a quick sneaky shot after shoving him off balance. It was quite intentional and a veteran move

    The Callum Johnson KD was legit and he was hurt. But Johnson's hooks are seriously heavy real meaty shots with a lot of thud in them

    He doesn't want to shake hands or exchange pleasantaries before a fight. He just means business.

    I'm supporting the American kid, hoping for a brutal KO of Beterbiev.

    Beterbiev to KO Smith by round 8 in what should be a close competitive fight until Artur catches him cold
