Where are all the fools who said he couldn’t box ?
That Joe would outbox him
A Canelo nuthugger even put Artur as his p4p #1
Although he insisted Canelo would beat Beterbiev easily , smfh
Also, I should have kept into account the big difference in physical structure. Only today I watched carefully the face to face picture at the weigh-in, Beterbiev is double-thicker than Smith Jr.
And I had missed Smith's confession about the Vlasov fight, which suggested mental weakness before such an important moment.
Oh well... at least I managed to stop myself from throwing five tenners on Nova by KO last night :lol1:
You know what, I think that the fight showed the huge difference in TECHNIQUE more than power. Beterbiev worked like a master painter, whereas Smith really had no clue.
At the end of the day, this was a genuine mismatch.

Smith won’t be able to absorb Beterbiev’s power

In all reality , that was his only chance
Until he felt the King’s power
I tend to agree. I think strategically speaking, that was Joe's best chance too.
But but Joe starts slow usually
By him changing his style , imo , will get him in trouble faster than Joe can say boo
...And that's exactly what happened.
