    Smith shat his pants against Canelo I'd be suprised if he makes this even competitive .. tho I'm prepared to allow for the fact that he may have been drained at 168 & was dead at the weight.. maybe he's found a new lease of life at 175 we will see

    This fight will resemble Artur Beterbiev vs Joe Smith Jr, same style, same result.

    Smith looked absolutely terrified when the 5'7 manlet started walking him down. How is he going to cope with a brute like Beterbiev

    For Beterbiev, he made a pound against Yarde, a big purse for him that, they did almost a million dollars between them.

    He'll be happy to get a chance at some UK money again. **** how underpaid he and Bivol are.

    Smith has a really good chance here. Beterbiev can be hurt and does get hit often. Smith could use his reach advantage here and he does punch very hard.

    Smith gets stopped mid rounds, shells up for most of it.

    Smith was scared of a small Canelo. He will be terrified of Beterbiev. As soon as Beterbiev lands a hard punch Smith will be in survival mode until he gets KOed.
