Comments Thread For: Beterbiev vs. Callum Smith Set For 'Early August' in Quebec, Says Bob Arum

[LA_2_Vegas]

I was watching Beterbiev's last fight and was thinking I can see some chances for Smith specifically to land; but will he really be forceful about putting himself on position or is he gonna be leaning back taking a beating and stay at home like a lot are saying. If allhe can do is bite down and throw a good number of shots with some leverage on them, I think he could find the target and do something with that. The way he fought the lsat fight I would love to see that

Beterbiev has shown some vulnerability in recent fights and will do so again, but I am sure he will still end up with the win. He lands such heavy punches that Smith will end up on the back foot and then eventually Beterbiev will break him. Beterbiev by stoppage in the seventh.

This will be a fun fight for sure , Mundo taking arthurs 0 and his belts with it would be major deal not gonna lie, thats one big task tho.

Sounds about right - good shout

Smith by 1 punch KO


Beterbiev is not taking Callum's left hook or right straight.

John Ryder bullied Mundo all over the ring. Settle down.

Little Alvarez showed what happens to smith when it's put on him. As soon as beterbiev starts landing Smith will go on the back foot. His biggest chance is that beterbiev is a slow starter.

Smith can not handle pressure seen it vs Canelo, Ryder and to a less extent that kickboxer (Neiky Holkzein or something like that) who took the fight on short notice.
He needs to come forward right off the bat and go for it if he is to have any real shot. If he gets pushed back or tries to box off the backfoot, he is going to be in for a long, painful night. He can't punch going backwards.

Ryder is fast.


Canelo is fast.


Beterbiev is slow and takes flush shots.

Any and every aggressive, come forward fighter that Mundo has fought has pushed him back and given him trouble. Guys act like it was just the Canelo fight lol

You mean the Yarde fight? Because the one before that was JSJ and I don't even think he got hit...
