    That's just about right for a change.

    You got a point. The human skull has a bad reaction when somebody who hits as hard as Smith Jr rams his fist into it.

    We have had 6 fights now, some against murderous punchers at 175lbs and Beterbiev still hasn't tasted the canvas.

    Not bad for someone who is supposedly chinny(!)

    Beterbiev has declined and Bivol is going to school him. Deal with it.

    So Beterbiev is looking past it and won a fight some on here are saying he didn’t look great in?

    Wonder who will finally challenge him next….

    I'm just saying if he was stunned by that shot, he won't endure Beterbiev's shot.

    Look at what's happening to Beterbiev's opponents. And that's not just because of the hits to the back of the head, as you claim. Their face gets destroyed. He has that bone crushing, destructive power. I don't think a nice guy like Bivol would endure it.

    To be honest Smith punches harder than Beterbiev. I think Smith might be the single hardest hitter p4p in the sport.

    Punching power wont matter Bivol will attempt to jab and run and he probably will be able to do it for 12 rounds.

    I think Beterbiev can fight at an elite level into his early 40s. Lives clean, trains hard and his style is well suited for it.

    Hes preserved, but not even Hopkins was elite in his 40s. He kept losing to guys he would wash in his early 30s.

    Smith floored him.
