I lean to Beterbiev due to experience but he’s old in age and physical mileage. Unless he can turn back the clock and put on a counterpunching exhibition. I see this as a tuff fight for BOTH men.

Smith's better than Gvozdyk is he?Should Beterbiev be favoured ? Yes . At 9-1 ? No. This is a 2-1 favourite. Styles make fights. And I believe Smith is the best he's faced. Smith has crushing power in both fists. Beterbiev has been dropped a few times to lesser puncher's. Do I think Smith can pull off the upset ? Yes. Do I love the 9-1 odds if I pick Smith ? Yes. I laid 300 on Smith. The odds were too tempting. Beterbiev is no Bivol. He's way easier to hit. If I lose 300 , who cares. I don't.Comment

I think Joe can win a few early rounds and then gets broken down by the beast that is Beterbiev.
I did see an amateur fight where Usyk beat Artur. He has been knocked down twice so far, so he's not invincible. Bivol would have a better chance of beating Beterbiev, but that's a heck of a fight.Comment

That's an extremely bold statement. How can you know that though? His best win is against Adonis who he was down on 2 out of 3 cards and the other was a draw at the time of the stoppage. He only had 17 fights against Beterbiev and hadn't fought anybody besides Adonis.Comment
