Beterbiev-Smith

would be a fun one while it lasted

 

Smith upsets him by ko beterbiev leaves that chin wide open and high up in the air when fighting on the inside.

 

Usually, Gaymon does have a habit of throwing these guys to the wolves right after they cause an upset. Happened with the guy that upset Savigne and then with the guy that upset Jack. I'm sure Beterbiev vs. Smith will come up.

I'd rather they build Smith more than just throw him right to the wolves.

 

A better fight for Beterbiev would be that Bosnian American who just got shafted against Browne. Joe Smith's team would be insane to throw him in with Beterbiev after crashing onto the world scene the way he did.

Beterbiev would get nothing out of smashing a guy like Smith. He should face technical boxers who can move and use angles.

 

Let me guess: Because Jeff Page Jr exposed him, right???

 

Smith Jr. will be the next one in line for Aducknis...

 

Beterbiev kills him. You need more than power to beat Beterbiev.

There was a reason why Smith was ranked no.46 and why Beterbiev is in the Top 5.

If there was ever a way to stop Smith's momentum, it would be to put him in with Beterbiev. Poor guy's career would be over before he even got a chance to make some 5 figure purses and lift his family.

Pascal/Bute etc would be good fights for him.

Beterbiev would starch him and quickly.

 

Indeed

Some easy fights first, then Pascal/Bute and then maybe a Beterbiev type of fighter.

AB right now would bulldoze him very fast.

Beterbiev is no giraffe necked Fonfara and neither does he have the same flaws either.

Easy work for AB.

 

Whomever mentioned Pascal hit on something. I would jump at that if Joe Smith were my client. This is a perfect time to get Pascal. He had everthing beaten out of him by kovalev and you will get good money fighting him along with his name on your resume.

I think Y. Gonzales beast the **** out of joe Smith.

 

Browne first, to build his US fan base, then Pascal or Bute for a name. Then a title shot in March/April next year. A loss against Kovalev's not gonna hurt that bad and Joe will finally have a payday (and big exposure). He's young enough to make a comeback. Against Stevenson he may actually have a chance next year, especially if Jr builds up his defensive skills. Stay away from Beterbiev, Gvozdyk, Mekhontsev, Shabtansky, Bivol for the time being. Too high risk/low reward for Joe. I'll tell you about Ward in November

 

I totally agree with this. Causing an upset ok, but don't forget he was in trouble when that right hook landed.
Beterbiev will simply blast him out.

 

Someone mentioned Browne. Yup, I think that would be a fair fight for Smith Jr.

Most likely, Gaymon will throw him right into a fight he can't win.

 

Smith should fight Browne next, elevate his WBC ranking and go for Stevenson before Beterbiev gets locked on to him and grabs that title.

Smith is a KO waiting to happen himself, and Adonis could PROBABLY get him b/c Smith is a brawler and Adonis a CPer.

But, if Smith can get the lead R hand in, he's got the WBC LHW title in a rd. :good

Browne is GARBAGE. Smith KO4. :hi:
