damn. Artur better not do one of these

This guy will KO 4-5 more guys and than cash out losing to Bivol twice in 2025. Wait and see.

He is losing his best years fighting nobodies. he doesn`t understand he must chase Bivol.

If this takes place in Montreal and you remove british pre-fight hype, media pressure and BS, hometown referees, etc. A lot of people will debate about Callum's reach and so on, but I see Beterbiev ending this with a body shot within 6. If small Canelo can dismantle Smith - Beterbiev will totally mop the floor with him!

This probably goes to purse bids and is a decent fight. Although everyone wants to see undisputed, it just doesn't look likely right now; it doesn't matter whose fault it is, it's boring playing the blame game.

Beterbiev and the Bivol situation is starting to become a sh** show just like that other situation in the WW division.... No surprise that Too Rank is part of this situation along with the WW situation at least in the beginning of that.

Might as well, since Hearn seems set on Buatsi, then Canelo, for Bivol! Callum only 32, has 2 stoppages since losing to Canelo! I think he's a better Boxer than Anthony Yarde! Could be a decent scrap!

Callum Smith?

The guy who was humiliated by Canelo and arguably lost to Ryder?

The guy who doesn't have a single meaningful win besides Groves, upon which many people built his presumed "monster puncher" persona?

Never heard of him.

Betterbiev v Bivol is the only fight that needs making put Crawford v Spence on the undercard

[Jab jab boom]

This fight and a canelo vs bivol rematch is a waste of time for fans and another of example of how promoters are ruining the sport. Beterbiev has the type of style that you have to be willing to die in that ring and that’s just not Callum smith. He’s like most recent British fighters other than fury and Froch. For the most part, they’re ready to pack it in once adversity kicks in.
