Callum's going to ICE Beterbiev in the 5th or 6th.

Both his fights at 175 have been knockouts. He flattened Bauderlique also, who was at least 22-1 when they fought, and an Olympic bronze medalist. But that's a far cry from Beterbiev.

He flattened who? 22-1 against who as a pro?

Read post 25. I'm not saying Smith is going to win. Just shooting for accuracy. And he's done the the best of the 168lb guys with Canelo. Honestly, him winning is the best shot we get of undisputed at 175, since Arum and Sulaiman won't ever let the Beterbiev fight happen. Maybe he was weight drained at 168, and is stronger at 175. But I'm still expecting him to get TKOed.

I feel you on that but every time he's stepped up in competition he hasn't looked good. I feel like anyone in the top 10 at 175 would've knocked out that French guy in under 4 especially with the way he was fighting all offense and no defense.

He looked terrible against a Dutch kickboxer who had minimal pro boxing experience, laid an egg against Canelo and shelled up without even offering resistance and he should've lost to John Ryder as well.

I believe he has enough power for Beterbiev to respect him but he's pretty one dimensional, the only Smith brother that gets recognition from me is Liam Smith because win or lose he will at least go out on his shield unlike Callum who would rather survive a decision which I feel might be the case against Beterbiev if he doesn't get a late stoppage. If he pulls off the upset I wouldn't be completely shocked Beterbiev is hittable and he is getting up there in age but I wouldn't bet on it.

Yeah, that's a 100% reasonable take in my book.
