Artur Beterbiev vs Joe Smith Jr

If Pascal wins against Bivol, all four boxers would be fighting from Montreal, Québec, and three of them would have M. Ramsay as their coach.

 

How?

He should win.

This fight ain’t going 12.

 

Beterbiev is (probably) going to be significantly more active now that his promotional problems "appear to" have been sorted.

Getting in some more rounds and staying busy is going to be important for Artur from now on. He looked less sharp in his most recent fight... and he paid for it by eating some clean shots and going to the floor against a game opponent who could punch (in Callum Johnson, who is also better than advertised).

Now he's fighting Joe Smith Jr... and if there's one thing we know about Smitty, it's that he carries bricks in his gloves.

This one will be brutal. Beterbiev's the favorite for sure, but he had better keep his Chin out of the air when he's throwing.

Why the hell does Joe Smith keep getting shots at the primetime?
He's like a LHW Gabe Rosado.

Guy falters at world level and yet keeps getting chances.

He's not that good.

Beterbiev and Bivol is the ideal fight IMO, I understand
the other guys are already tied up. Put Smith in
with Barrera or Marcus Browne, smh

 

We all know the answer as to why they keep pushing for him. America needs a Rocky Balboa and Joe is the one to play the part against the evil Russian. Its like Rocky 4 all over again.

 

Browne is "tied up" as well, don't expect him back in the ring anytime soon. And do you think a Barrera rematch will end differently?

 

Fun fight while it lasts. Obviously you have to favour Beterbiev, but Smith will be very dangerous if Artur tries to exchange with him.

 

I didn't know M Browne was tied up. Re: Sullivan, I don't but the "he broke his jaw that's the only reason for the loss" narrative would be put to rest.

 

Smith seems like a good guy, he has a huge punch, but I doubt he lands enough to make a dent. TKO say 9th round for Beterviev, who needs to step up his competition before Father Time starts getting involved.

 

The Jacobs fight is getting drastically overlooked, IMO. Jacobs has the skill and speed to give it a good go, Dere has the power and ability to end it at any moment. Really, I thought die hard fans would be more pumped about this fight than they are.

 

Three good matchups except for Bivol, who is fighting a bum.
