    Callum Smith is WBC mandatory and Matchroom also has clear plans for Smith, Bivol and Canelo.

    Was hoping it would be the undisputed fight but Callum Smith is well in with a serious chance here. He looks a monster at 175.

    I’d back Callum happily but then again Father Time does beat everyone.

    Don’t be shocked if Callum wins.. AB is old. I’m picking him obviously but wouldn’t be shocked if he lost.

    Smith does not hit hard enough to earn his respect. Due to this I think it would be an easy fight for Ab

    beterbiev vs bivol then beterbiev retires either way. nobody wants this callum fight unless its to let beterbiev be that ever bit older for Bivol to run circles around jabbing

    Beterbiev also isn't a compact southpaw with excellent defense. He was rocked countless times by Yarde today..... Callum has been devastating people at LHW thus far. There's no guarantee old Rabbit Puncher extraordinaire wins this. After all, Callum is way too tall for him to land his money punch.:lol:

    Callum will be in survival mode and just trying to make it the distance.

    Beterbiev defense is pretty simple. Hurt the other guy so you dont have to worry about being hurt. Hes the guy who is used to doing the hurting. And then put your gloves up and keep chin tucked. There is a reason why you dont see his chin getting lit up much in fights. His guard is simple but pretty effective.

    1. Smith vs. Ryder was at 168. We all know that Smith drained himself to death to make 168.
    2. Ryder is a Southpaw and has a completly different style.
    3. Beterbiev not getting any better or younger while Smith looked improved recently, especially his power seems to be better at 175.
    4. Smith looks like a tough bloke. If Yarde can go 8 rounds with Beterbiev, i can see Callum Smith going full 12.

    All true but he doesn’t like getting hit. He shat it against Canelo and Beterbiev bangs harder. I like Smith but I don’t think he’ll fare well against Artur.
