Comments Thread For: Team Beterbiev Questions Joe Smith's Mental Fortitude After Surprising Confession

They’re reading too much into it. Didn’t Ali almost quit a couple times? That didn’t help Foreman.

Now I don’t think this matters. I think Beterbiev is going to win with or without Smith Jr coming out and saying this.

It has to be gamesmanship to get it into their fighters head Smith is not in his level, because of course you are right. It is not a huge deal. Smith fought through it.

If he felt that way against Vlasoft just imagine how he’ll handle the pressure from Beterbiev. Just rewatched the Gvozdyk match as a warmer. Unless Artur got old overnight, Smith is going down.

So Canelo got whupped real good by BIVOL. He certainly don’t need that again. Canelo the GREAT SHOULD FIGHT David Benavidez next not GGG. After Canelo gets the hell beat out of him and Knocked out in round 11 or his corner throws in the towel earlier he then should fight BETERBIEV and get beat down and KO’d real good

THEN
fight GGG
oh wait ,,,, after that he should fight USYK

Benavidez is just a weight bully who re-hydrates intrvenously.

He ain’t getting old overnight
Beterbiev will fight his fight no matter what Smith said
Joe won’t stand a chance

oh, the iceman is in beterbiev's corner? smith by KO.

Wrong...What he was saying is that he doesn't know if he can win the fight, that the fight was slipping away. JSJ is not quitting. This is a guy who fought almost the entire Barrera fight with a broken jaw. JSJ has been tested plenty, and he has never quit. AB was cut but still in his comfort zone, walking Browne down, now if he was getting destroyed by Browne and wouldn't quit that would be another story Let's see what happens if the Monster is truly tested.

Scully has been in Artur’s camp his whole career. Marc Ramsay and Russ Anber are his trainers

Was my thought too. Not much an issue but Vlassov ain’t really a hard hitting pressure guy

Big step up from Vlasov to Beterbiev. Artur by ko or tko.
