    I think Beterbiev will win by KO in rounds 7-8. Smith will hang there a few rounds, but Beterbiev is too skillful and powerful. Smith doesn't have back foot game to keep Artur off.

    Beterbiev has really took rounds to get going in his last couple of fights. That said, I think he wins somewhere between 7-10.

    I think he'l jump on Smith early on, much like he did with Kaladjic.

    You don't want to start slow against a fresh power puncher who is dangerous earliest in the fight and at his bravest. That's what Smith will be so it's best to take his heart and courage early to make him fight scared and broken down later on.

    My head says Beterbiev, but I had a dream the other night that Smith knocked him out, so who knows!

    A guy who loses to Sullivan Barrera hasn’t a hope in hell against Beterbiev.If smith fights his best,he will go the distance and win 1 round out of 12.Beterbiev will win,knock smith down but he may not knock him out.Smith has some good wins(vlasov,alvarez,Fonfara,Hopkins,hart) and has surprised a few people in his career so far but Beterbiev is special can box and punch and has knocked out Gvozdyk who is better than smith.

    You mean a guy who came within seconds of KOing Sullivan Barrera in the first round, who then freakishly suffered a badly broken jaw, and instead of quitting went 9 more rounds with said broken jaw, yes it was a 10 rounder, not a 12 rounder. Means the result of that fight is negligible. He KO'd Eleider Alvarez, who is better than Sullivan Barrera, that should be the fight you're focusing on, and not the Barrera anomaly.

    Styles makes fights. Alvarez was made for Smith, but Beterbiev is different animal and all wrong for Smith.

    Not really. They're all wrong for each other.
