Me too. Only scouser who wanted Groves to win… me! He’s slightly flawed, I don’t like the career he’s had, huge gaps etc but he wins this haha. Mad.
Canelo would be like a cub and Beterbiev is like a fully grown grizzly bear. You didn't hear Canelo ever mention his name. Hes also faster than Kovalev. He beat him in the amateurs. I think he beats Bivol too.
I've disliked Smith ever since that Alvarez fight, which was an utter pathetic performance. But yeah he's obviously got a chance and I agree that Beterbiev leaves himself wide open when going on the attack. Fingers crossed he can redeem himself.
Canelo would never go near him. The Bivol one is interesting as he is far slicker. Probably the best match up in boxing.
Want smith to win and can see the arguments for how he does, but can't get the canelo performance out of my head, hopefully the weight was the big factor there. Needs to let his hands go early with a bit of venom otherwise Artur will be on him like **** on a blanket. Regards the findings, probably roided up isn't he, most probably are especially yanks and Russians. People saying hearn has a cheek commenting etc, he's smiths promoter and he's being asked the questions he's not gonna no comment the interview, and so agree with him that there'd be much more up roar now if it was a matchroom fighter, but in a way hes made that bed with his shame faced benn stance. Apples and pears really. If mundo was from Milton Keynes I'd say he has no chance, but Scouse bias makes me pip for smith KO
As mentioned by many the Alvarez fight is difficult to forget. I imagine he´d been struggling in weight for long time, he lost (in my opinion) to Ryder and was not that impressive against Holtzen, Skoglund or Blackledge. Artur might be there for the taking but if he´s not a I see him giving Smith a pasting. Good match up.
Well Beterbiev and his mob definitely got his cycle down to a fine art it seems doesn't it At 39, considering test levels naturally drop off after 30, there's not really a legitimate reason for a spike in levels of test Really like beterbiev aswell
Exactly. They train away from public glare and any testing would have to get through the airport and travel all the way without being spotted. It absolutely stinks. I'm really interested to see how beterbiev jaw holds up and whether he protects it much. I've seen lads before have an appendectomy and their jaws become brittle.
I've gone for Beterbiev in rounds 5-8. And also a small daft bet on both boxers to be knocked down in first round at 400/1
