Great fight, also brillant to see these two ain’t avoiding eachover to win the canelo sweepstakes. King Arthur by late stoppage.
Great slugfest! Can’t wait to see this one. If AB knocks him out but gets hit early (which he probably will) I look forward to the haters doing what they do.
Wow...two boxers who want to box and not whine about percentages, gloves, weights, ring ropes, venue, round card girls, water bottles and vaseline.
Looking forward to this, though I think the fight will be one-sided. Beterbiev is too strong and will close the distance, beating up Smith and stopping him between 6-8 rounds.
This fight will show that Bivol is a level above Beterbiev. One fighter is a top quality operator, the other is a brawler who carries great power.
Beterbiev opponents he's the only man to stop And don't forget he's only had 17 fights Gvozdyk Cloud Hot Rod Marcus Browne Callum Johnson Deines Koelling Prieto Alexander Johnson Opponents he was the first to stop but have subsequently been stopped since Page Maderna And Rayco Saunders had only been stopped once in 45 fights and 3 times in 57 fights in total now Bill Bailey had only been stopped once in 29 fights and 3 times in 35 now Gabriel Lecrosnier had only been stopped 3 times in 44 fights and 9 times in 75 fights now Joe Smith has only been stopped on an injury (broken jaw) and has never been dropped AFAIA Can Artur become the first man to drop and stop Smith legitimately?
This is the fight that will rejuvenate the LHW division. The top two punchers at LHW and two of the hardest hitting p4p in the sport. Expect a war. Expect drama. Expect a KO.
Great fight! smith jr is a live dog in this for sure! Beterbiev is my favourite fighter right now but time is ticking I’ll be surprised if both men don’t get dropped and it goes to points yarde gets smashed by both btw and in less than 5 rounds
