Comments Thread For: Artur Beterbiev Demolishes Joe Smith in Two Rounds To Unify WBC, WBO, IBF Titles

Wow. That timing, that accuracy. The sound his punches make. Amazing technique Beterbiev has. Iv always thought only Bivol stood a chance against Beterbiev but that was impressive. Joe smith has done an amazing job developing his boxing over the years, props to him. The same fans picking Joe also picked Canelo over Bivol. Completely delusional.

I wonder if Yarde wants Beterbiev fight anymore

Joe smith fought like an idiot. That was unbelievable because he actually can box. He boxed very well vs Hart and Alvarez. He went in their and threw looping haymakers at a precise power puncher. Not sure if the wait affected him I suspect it must have. Fight started at almost midnight est

But Joe is from the east coast
Why would the wait have anything to do with it ?

Joe fought the right fight. Catching Artur in early rounds was his only chance.

U serious? Beterbiev is a slow starter joe needed to use his length and his jab to set up the right hand. He had the power to keep beterbiev off of him. He just had to be patient. Instead he crowded a much shorter fighter negating his reach advantage and allowing beterbiev to land shots at will. Was the dumbest fight he could’ve fought. Winging heymakers from left field is never smart. As I said he has a great jab and right hand he just needed to work those and back beterbiev up make it to the late rounds and see what happens. Easier said than done but that’s the fight to fight. Marcus Browne was executing it but he didn’t have to power to keep artur off himself smith had the the right tools but the wrong gameplan. Bivol vs beterbiev will be a great fight. I think bivol due to his ring IQ but that is a close fight

Beterbiev boxed beautifully
Joe couldn’t handle his power
Be patient , he cringed at every body shot

Yarde has little chance against Beterbiev. He went life and death with an old Kovalev. He'll take the fight anyway and probably be KO'd.

Smith just froze! And that was that!

That was impressive, Smith woke the monster early.
I keep expecting Beterbiev to show signs of age but that was his best yet.

Oh & F off bob, it's undesputed season & you work for the fighter he doesn't work for you.

How many great legacy fight's do we miss out on because of bob, rematchroom & al?

I think he was stunned early in the first because Smith then threw a big slow overhand right stumbling & never recovered. At 37, still a monster.
