    Speaking of The Nail… When the hell is he coming back?! He’s way too good a fighter to just retire that early! I can see him picking a strap up again as Artur probably only has a few more fights in him.

    Hell call me crazy but The Nail back with Atlas after a couple good fights against a 39 year old Artur…. Stranger things have happened then Alex clipping him out with that right hand he has.

    Yeah, he was a walking corpse against Ryder, that didn't change against Canelo. He moved up immediately after. He should've been at LHW for the last decade.

    While this subject is still going around, no version of prime Kovalev beats no version of Prime Beterbiev.
    Beterbiev would play old school accordion music with Kov's body. Kov was the prime example of a bully that didn't like it when the pressure was turned up back at him.

    But Joe is not skilled enough to land powershots anywhere near the frequency of AB. That's the difference.

    He's still training I think, the last I saw he was doing an interview a few weeks back, I think outside of a gym. I wouldn't rule it out either. Had The Nail been more aggressive early, and sat down on his shots. I think he could've gotten Artur out of there. He tried the same approach he took with Stevenson, and it didn't pay off that time.

    I always suspected some dodgy shenanigans. He was nothing like himself. I know he had a short camp but he was a second rate 168 pounder against Canelo.

    Well yeah, he can punch. So could Joe Smith jnr I guess. I think Bivol is the man to beat AB. 60/40 Bivol kinda thing. Bivol is special.

    Joe can punch, but lacks the fundamentals of a Callum Smith.

    Boxing Seen had Yarde up 67-66 before the stoppage and I think they have consistently good and fair scorecards. I didn't keep score, but did feel like Beterbeef was up.

    Just the usual complainers. The first right hand to the jaw is what really did Yarde in anyways.
