Nice! About F^cking Time 175 look to Unify

Joe has a puncher's Chance, he has to get to Artur first and Early who is Notoriously a very slow starter or else Artur breaks him down and stops him Middle to Late Rounds

Beterbiev will break down the body of Smith and take his energy away and KO him.

Yeah I liked that Artur would end combos with a shot to the body in his last fight. I don’t think he’s improving still, but he never stops and he’s a lot to deal with over 12rnds.
I don’t like it when he leans over his feet or pushes his punches though. Ending his combos with a rake to the body will go a long way to the outcome you said. Get his opponent to start to bend to the side to protect themselves, and make then flinch down into an uppercut. much like Canelo does.

I feel sorry for Joe Smith cos I like the guy but he is getting in too deep with this monster Beterbiev

[Nightfall]

Lets go Joe.

Isn't it amazing that Bivol is a cherrypick for Canelo but his leftovers isn't for Beterbiev?

Different standards I guess,even though Beterbiev never tried unifying with Bivol.

Anyone who feels that Bivol is a cherry pick for Canelo is either a hater, or they really don't know the sport! I'd rather see Canelo fight Charlo & Benavidez, over Bivol & GGG, but I know Bivol is a live dog!

Too many people on this board sleeping on Joe. He has more than a punchers chance. He is tough, has heart and has stamina. Tough fight for both but I think Joe is a little more durable.

Hopefully we get the BivolBeterbieve fight after this one.

[MPA2000]

I'll believe that when I hear both camps verify it.

[John Locke]

Beterbiev is going to knock Joe Smith out brutally. Hopefully we get Beterbiev vs the winner of Canelo vs Bivol by the end of the year.

Im going with Joe Smith Jr. He is a working man, he is a fighting man. He's worked harder that the Russian, and has less to show. Glory will be his biggest payday. Go get yours Joe !
