Two of the nicest, most humble, most honest and hard punching guys you can find. What a fight this should be. I pick the more skilled man, Beterbiev.
Why say he has the better chin? Smith fought no one who punches as harder as Johnson let alone Beterbiev.
I'm a big Joe Smith fan and want to see him win but, If I were made to bet on this fight I'd take Beterbiev by TKO in about 10. It will be entertaining
I think Beterbiev will beat him, but he will also go down before that. Beterbievs pressure and hard punches will affect Smith really soon.
I actually might pick Smith... beterbiev is knocking on now...if odds are good enough..I'll definitely be tempted by the ko
I really want Joe to take this , and it's possible for sure. Be real hard to see this fight go the distance.
There are decent odds on Beterbiev decision. I think it was +320 last time I checked. Not the greatest odds, but decent. My thinking is Beterbiev is getting older and Smith is tough as nails. So I wouldn't be totally shocked if Beterbiev outboxes him for a decision.
