Beterbiev vs Callum Smith faceoff *video*

If smith comes out wild swinging like Joe smith jr did then he’ll get stopped. 1-2 for him is key here but then again it was for gvozdyk who couldn’t make a dent in Beterbiev.

U have more faith in smith repairing his reputation even then AB will bring his high pressure and make him explode

 

I think Smith just might catch Beterbiev with a big money shot. Respect to Beterbiev though, this will be the third puncher he’s faced in a row.

 

Smith has a shot here because Beterbiev is old and past-prime.

But even then, AB is going to put a beating on Smith like no one has before, worse than Ryder or Canelo.

 

Smith got bullied and man handled by Canelo for Pete's sake. Beterbiev will walk right through him even if he has started to lose a step

 

Am I the only one who thought Smith looked unimpressive in his last fight? His defense was awful and there were very few exchanges where Smith didn't get almost as good as he gave. He fought small and this vaunted 1-2 that everyone is raving about was used very little. Comparing Joe Smith jrs performance against Beterbiev to Callums against the Frenchman, I don't see a huge difference. There is a good shot that Smith Jr knocks Callum out.

 

Callum Smith is a puncher? News to me. Thought he was a feather fisted tall bloke, what am I missing?

Gets crumpled in six here.

 

AB so skilled & his good ring sense too not be hit badly, he's not just a come forward plodder with power, always pumped to watch him do his thing, one of the most exciting fighters in the game today.

 

Smith might box & stay away well enough to annoy Artur until that is when he eventually gets in, hope he hasn't aged more is always a worry with him though.

 

Damm Skippy!

 

This is a good scrap for me, it's a risky fight for AB, yeah Smith can on occasion be lacklustre but if he's on form I think it's a competitive fight.
I'm not saying Smith wins but there is potential for an upset.
