    Contrary to popular opinion, I think Smith wins this by KO. Beterbiev has clubbing power - usually stops his victims by wearing them down and getting the TKO. Smith on the other hand has true one punch lights out power and Artur leaves himself very open - I’m afraid he’s going to walk onto a big one from Smithy and get his clock cleaned and get knocked the **** out

    Styles make fights and this is one of those cases.

    I’m psyched for this fight! Potential FOTY

    Not only does Beterbiev have more power than Smith, so does his last two opponents.

    "Styles make fights", "two wrongs don't make a right", <insert overused quote here>.

    Let me guess: you're a casual boxing fan from Liverpool or thereabouts, and you bet 10 pound on Smith winning by KO?

    This fight has nothing to do with styles, and Artoor does not leave himself very open. Smith can win, this is professional boxing, but only by swinging for the bleachers. It wont be an accumulation beatdown (unless Beterbiev has truly aged overnight), and it won't be a boxing clinic, because Artoor is too skilful and Smith doesn't have that kind of fight in him.

    I'll add Smith to a very long list of overhyped britbums.

    Sweet. I'm glad that people think Smith is so powerful and that he will add a lot to Beterbiev's resume when he gets crumpled.

    Why so many people saying that Smith has a better chance of beating Beterbiev, then Yarde, but Yarde had better odds ?

    4/1 :nonono

    The only think Smith has going for him is that Beterbiev is older. I'd take Yarde over him.
