I don't know about you, but the next big fight I'm really looking forward to is Beterbiev/Smith

    This fight is a couple of freight trains colliding. I know Smith has not fought anyone of note at Lt. Heavy, but you can't say he's looked anything but spectacular, and I really liked him at Super Middleweight, too bad he was cheated on by Canelo by getting shorted on in his training camp. Don't blink during this one.

    It's not a big fight, in my opinion. Smith was pathetic against Canelo. Beterbiev finishes him off in 5.

    He was pathetic because Canelo made him a last minute offer on purpose to shorten his training camp and get him when he was weaker. I like Beterbiev also, but Smith is stronger now and boy if he catches him watch out.

    Beterbiev keeps winning so long as he keeps his form. Only guy that can beat him is Father Time right now. And Bivol.

    Watch smith vs that french guy at light heavyweight. It becomes a wild swing up, if he fights like that against Beterbiev he’ll get parked up like Joe smith jr did

    Well CALLUM Smith is certainly better than JOE Smith. No better offensive fighter IMO than Beterbiev, but Smith is definitely a live dog.

    He was also bad against Ryder, and Ryder won that fight in my opinion. Smith is not in the same league with Beterbiev.

    Anthony Yarde also beats Smith by KO.

    I remember all of 2020 Callum Smith talked about fighting Canelo

    Joe Gallagher had a major erection over it because he was the trainer AND manager of Callum Smith so was getting 20-30% of Callum's purse.

    They had that fight in the back of their minds and were keeping sharp throughout the year.
    If Callum froze that's on him for lack of preparation. They should have known Canelo would pull a dirty trick and did nothing to counter it.

    All on them.

    Smith is also "stronger" because he no longer has to cut an extra 7lbs. It's just one day less of eating and drinking.
    He was a massive weight bully at 168lbs and should have been at 175lbs years ago.

    Wait till Beterbiev lands an uppercut on Smith. Game over.

    I'm looking forward to Bivol vs Beterbiev, but unfortunately both these dudes are acting like little bitaches...actually they been acting like little biatches for going on six years.

    The biggest disgraces in boxing today.
