    He did & it was a good test, but he came back stronger after every knockdown & pushed forward, seemed to upset him which made it worse for both guys.

    Thank you for some needed perspective here. I like Beterbiev , he's a tough guy who comes to fight and not dance but he's not unbeatable. The Joe Smith KO was impressive but honestly Joe appeared tailor made for a guy like him and Smith seemed to panic after he was hit hard and lost his composure , swinging wildly trying to get back at him which opened him up for more big shots. I think a fight between him an Bivol could be a classic puncher coming after the boxer encounter. I do wish he had fought more often though.

    He's joined the Wagner Brigade fighting for Russia in Ukraine. (not really).
    Dude needs a boxing match, not a shooting match.

    Yarde better avoids him or his career will he over. Beterbiev will retire anyway in a few years, so why fight him and get destroyed? Go after someone like Craig Richards or Buatsi.

    You're comparing a three-weight world champion to a domestic level who won the British title whose best win is Seanie Monaghan :facepalm:

    Johnson was nearly sparked out in a round by a cabbage

    Johnson hasn't ever beaten anyone above domestic level

    You're comparing him to a highly skilled three-weight world champion with some of the quickest hands in the game and who is one of the most naturally gifted boxers in the game :facepalm:

    Linares is one of the most skilled boxers in the sport, but has been cursed with a communist Venezuelan chin. Like all other commies, he is more fragile than wet paper.

    Well he got extremely far and achieved a hell of a lot despite that. Johnson hasn't even got beyond domestic level

    Yep and the moment a lightweight Callum touches that commie glass he's gone night night.

    He wouldn't even get a chance to there are just too many levels separating them and Linares' speed, power and skill levels are on a completely different level to his

    Even with big gloves on Linares would ice him out on his face

    I hope Bivol finally makes the fight with Beterbiev that we've waited on, i believe his confidence now after defeating Canelo will get him there now i hope...........

    He knows that Yarde will end his career.
