Comments Thread For: Artur Beterbiev Hopes To Finalize Joe Smith Unification in Coming Days

[_Rexy_]

Either Eddies's offer to fight Jacobs was a fluke or Joe Smith Jr is tied to TR

Joe's last 3 fights were with TR, so I just assumed he was signed with them.

Haha both told Canelo to shove it.. LOL

They’re waiting to see if the Canelo and Plant fight gets made. If plant ducked again then Bertebeiv gets the Canelo fight.

hearn was trying to leverage two fighters who are not even his in an effort to pressure Haymon to make Plant available LOL HEARN IS A BOZO

Thank goodness that Jacobs nonsense isn't happening.

Wow what an easy fight for Beterbiev. Easiest title fight of this year lol

First off, I have zero idea why Canelo gets brought up so much in these threads. He is fighting at SMW people, not LHW. That was a one off deal. Move along, nothing to see here.

This is a marketable, fun fight. Yes, I thought Smith lost to Vlasov as well. But it wasn't like Smith got blown out. It was a legit good fight. I expect this to be a blast as well. Smith cannot help who he is, and he is a ****er. He will come forward at some point to try and win the fight by throwing leather, and that is where Beterbiev lives. Beterbiev did not look great his last fight. A ton of rust, and nowhere near as active after his covid infection. He needs to be closer to his best. Smith is a professional fighter. If Beterbiev is not on his "A" game, Smith will exploit that. If Beterbiev, at 36, can get back to what makes him such a elite warrior he will unify going away. Beterbiev looking tentative and a little unmotivated like he did against Dienes? That fighter will have a much longer night....

I think it woul be great if the boxer's in control can start a trend of undes*****g.
But how old is Beterbiev now? He must be getting ripe enough for Canelo to step up if they can both undespute.
The middleweights need to start doing the same.

What a great fight will be super explosive. Hope it gets made soon

Hearn and Canelo trainer Eddie Reynoso have both stated that Canelo is willing to go up to 175 and has asked for Beterbiev as the fight to make, according to Hearn he has no interest in Bivol and said he wants Beterbiev if this move up happens. Thats why Canelos name gets mentioned in the lhw mix.
