Comments Thread For: Beterbiev's Trainer Concerned, Views Callum Smith as Complex Fight: He's Best Boxer We've Faced

[dukesville]

who hits harder Julian Jackson or Eubank Jr?

Eubank Jr beat someone into a brainswell doe!

Accumulative damage is what causes brain swelling. Stevenson was well over 40 and had been in wars.

guys like Jackson, Smith concusses you with one shot. pure punching power = 1 shot power

You could be right I just think only someone who has fought them both or at least sparred them both would know for sure as to say that there is a big disparity in their punching power. I mean Smith couldn't ko or even drop canelo who started at light middle...so it makes you wonder as to who he's been knocking out. I think he's a hard puncher for sure I just don't know about saying, he hits a lot harder than Gvozdyk...but who knows.

[_Rexy_]

Serious question but how would you know Gvozdyk "doesn't hit NEARLY as hard" ? Gvozdyk had koed most of his opponents and looked to be more skilled than Smith.

He doesn't know ****. He's just a Canelo groupie and a Beter hater. He made countless threads like this on how JSJ was going to end Beterbiev. Then disappeared for a bit after the fight, then came back with this ****


Gvozdyk hits hard enough to put Adonis in a ****ing coma.

Gvozdyk doesn't hit nearly as hard.



Beterbiev got teed off on in that fight. if Callum hits Beter as much, it's a wrap.

You also said the same thing about joe smith jr calling it a 50/50 fight pre fight and smith couldn't even land one clean shot. There was nothing 50/50 about that fight. Beterbiev has deceptively good defense. This will be a very easy fight for beterbiev

but i didn't bet on that fight. i knew it was a toss up.

i also bet on Bivol to beat Canelo and Zhang to beat Joyce. slips shown.


this fight is another toss-up. Smith is younger and hits harder than anyone Beter's fought. his offense is also better than Smith who relies on the 1-1-2. easy to time.

Yea the thing about these 2 Smiths is that they don't have half the skill Beterbiev has and Beterbiev has punching power just like they do...I think he will ko Smith easier than Yarde another power puncher but with a higher level of skill than the Smiths.

[JakeTheBoxer]

This will be an easy night for Beterbiev.

[Madison Boxing]

i dont give smith any sort of chance and will do worse than yarde did...

Canelo only gave Smith 5 weeks notice for the fight, then wondered why he performed as if just picking up a cheque. Despite this, the thread is still full of Canelo slurpers eager to give him more credit

If it was flipped and Canelo only given 5 weeks notice, he has no time to juice, can't get into shape in time, his stamina is even worse and who knows what happens.

Your boy got schooled by Bivol and ducked the rematch multiple times. The fact that somebody else he beat has been praised by Beterbiev's trainer to help hype a fight is pretty meaningless in that context, but I guess you gotta come up with something when your guy prefers fighting 40 year olds and Ryder instead of facing the best.

It's even worse than that. Callum only had 4 weeks as the last week was spent travelling and staying in a bubble without any further training. Callum couldn't get together a proper training camp with proper sparring in just 4 weeks. But that's why Canelo set it up this way. He always looks to get the worse version of those he fights. Yet, delusional people claim he looks for challenges. Haha. His whole career has been nothing but one big set up before he fights them. And i do mean, his whole career. You can see the problem with each and every opponent he faces. It's staring us in the face.

[Sid-Knee]

No, it wasn't one of the toughest fights of his career and he wasn't stunned several times, and if he was down on the scorecards, it's because he was in England. He's just trying to make it as if Smith has a chance when he doesn't, because we all know how this fight's gonna end.

Yarde wasn't one of Beterbiev's toughest opponents? He was his actual toughest. And yes, he was hit with some big shots that hurt him. At times it looked like he was only a couple of punches away from getting flatlined. He had to work for that win. It was gruelling.

Why, who would you put forward as a tougher fight for him?

[Sid-Knee]

Smith is dangerous because of the left hook and because Beterbiev has been caught with it on numerous occasions.

So yes it is a dangerous fight from that perspective.

However, from experience, most fighters tend to revert to type when the going gets tough and Callum Smith gets backed up easily and rushes his work when pressured. He also gets into a firefight easily too.

His last fight with Bauderlique showed how willing he was to engage in a toe to toe battle and he also got caught a few times too. A more compact and measured fighter like Beterbiev would create and exploite lots of openings.

You're forgetting one vital ingredient here... Bauderlique was a southpaw. Beterbiev isn't.
