Comments Thread For: Artur Beterbiev-Callum Smith Mandatory Title Defense Ordered By WBC

[Afi23]

low IQ point

Callum knocked out champs too.

Which one at 175lbs?

[Chris Hanson]

Not at all, Tyson and Wilder knocked out champions, as well as Wilder knocking down Fury, a man that naturally outweighs him by 40 or 50 pounds, four times, good try though. Joe and Beterbiev have also knocked out champions, I'm not catching your point. Smith hasn't knocked out anyone other than the Euro-boxers and crash dummies that he's used to beating up.

There’s more euro champions than black champions you dumb pos

Callum Smith will win some rounds with his reach, but tough to see this going any other way than him getting worn down and stopped.

[MulaKO]

You are truly talking up a guy for slumping tomato cans and crash dummies. What top fighter has he knocked out like that? If you think he has power like Wilder, why didn't he knock out JOHN FXCKING RYDER?? C'mon, just say you're a big fan of the guy, but stop feeding us shxt and saying its caviar.

He’s not a fan of Ryder but he is a big hater of Artur Beterbiev
Artur must have done some chit to him or his family I’m guessing
He’ll never give props to Beterbiev and always pick against him
I have no time to squabble through his posts or know how but I’m pretty darn sure he picked Smith and Yarde to win
Can’t waste time with a guy who believes Canelo has James Toney defence
I chit you not , that guy got to many head shots , no pun intended

[just the facts]

Canelo freezes opponents up due to his defense and quick counters. Callum couldn't land on Canelo. Different style match up.

Artur gets hit and hit flush every single fight.

Callum has true 1 punch KO power. unlike Yarde.

So you’re picking Smith?

[HeadShots]

So you’re picking Smith?

if Smith lands this right hand on Beter. it's a wrap.







Beter is not elusive.

[CPNUTKnockoutFreshMart]

It's going to be fun while it lasts. I have Beterbiev by TKO.

Lots of people distracted by Beterbiev punching power and assume he is one dimensional brawler or slugger. Given his amateur pedigree, Beterbiev in fact is very technical. He chose to go toe to toe because he measured his opponents were not as dangerous - and paid his price against Callum Johnson, when he lowered his guard after knocked Johnson down in round 1. With Smith, Beterbiev turned into counter puncher and once he landed he became more aggressive. I believe his game plan against Yarde is more of providing entertainment aspect and allow trading punches because he can land more damaging ones.

It takes someone with technical ability to outbox and land powerful shot in order to beat Beterbiev, something like what Teofimo Lopez did with Lomachenko in first 6 rounds. The thing is, it has to be powerful punches and constantly hurt Beterbiev, otherwise when Beterbiev lands his own it's going to be very difficult to escape the pressure.

I think Smith has the power, but may find very difficult to land if Beterbiev jabs effectively and start to apply pressure.

Easy fight for beterbiev. Smith gets stopped. Waste of time. These white american and euro sluggers with high guards are easy matchups for him.

Well said
I can’t believe how many people , who are so-called fans of the sport , think he is only a brawler
Ffs , the man has 300 amateur fights but he can’t box ?
Ali went down 4 times in his career but when I mention that people seem to run away and in no way am I comparing the two
These are the people who have ruined the sport along with Mayweather , literally only concerned about the O and no place for knockdowns
By the way , both were flash knockdowns and what happened after ; lights out , time to put the women and children to bed
