    I disagree with Ward that Smith was scared once he felt the power.

    He tried, but he was in no man's land up close, or too far away to land anything big

    Yarde is a waste of everyone's time we all know that. The world wants bivol-Beterbiev which imo is second only to Spence-Crawford in the sport today.

    Wouldn't matter where Saul hit.

    Artur could give him Mayorga-style freebies...and still stop him early.

    2 cracking fights, Ramirez v Nova and just now, Beterbiev v Smith Jnr. It was a total dismantling against a game but outclassed Smith Jnr.

    Beterbiev v Bivol has to be next, pointless facing his WBO mandatory Yarde next as he'll just walk right through him.

    I'd also like to see Beterbiev walk right through Canelo though I doubt this fight ever happens.

    I'm a big fan of both Artur and Dmitry. Gutted as to who'll lose. Can I have it scored a Draw please?

    That’s Yarde spending time on the canvas, what’s the point of it?

    Beterbiev is transparent. Bivol is good enough that he can see the incoming and be ready to counter punch. Bivol can dictate the pace and take the fight where he wants it to go. For Beterbiev to be succesful he needs somebody to stand right in front of him, and give him chances to be offensive. Bivol imo will take away his biggest advantages and beat Beterbiev.

    If Canelo hits that chin at will Beterbiev will hit the mat.

    It's going to be Bivols speed and combinations vs beterbiev Power. This one is even more 50-50 than Spence Crawford (I got Bud)

    When has Beterbiev actually been hurt? He got clipped by a shot he didn’t see from Johnson and he was fine getting up from that. Smith was never going to get anywhere near him with a concealed punch.

    you never heard that from me, I was wondering if Bivol was a step too far leading up to the fight

    The moment the fight started, the outcome became clear. Smith’s punches were taking too long to reach Beterbiev, while Beterbiev’s punches traveled a much shorter distance.

    Beterviev was always going to win the exchanges and Smith was destined to get KO’ed in this fight.

    It’s honestly 95-5 for Beterbiev. People will be shocked if it happens.

    No, he wasn't remotely fine. He was badly stunned.
