    If the Bivol fight cannot be made, it's the next big fight for Artur imo. Thoughts?

    I'm only wary of Callum's left hook.

    Other than that, he get really hurt. He is a massive target and that skinny long torso will get destroyed.

    He might get in a good shot or two like Yarde did, but Beterbiev will break him down.

    It will be a good fight while it lasts and Smith could well have his moments but I can’t see anything else other than a Beterbiev win by stoppage mid to late rounds . Canelo nullified Smiths left hook and beat him comfortably and Ryder was able to stand and mix it with Smith for 12 rounds and some arguably thought he should have won that fight. Beterbiev is certainly the toughest,powerful opponent Smith will have faced and even at 38 he is still a formidable fighter .

    Unless Smith can fight tall and keep AB at the end of his jab and at range - which although improved at 175, we've not seen much evidence of - Smith has such a long torso I see AB stopping him like he did with The Nail - accumulation of body shots breaking Smith down.
