Comments Thread For: Hearn Expecting Callum Smith To Get The Violent KO Win Over Artur Beterbiev

[crimsonfalcon07]

Aside from Castillo who has Smith brutally knocked out? 160 lb N'dam? He didn't take out Holzken, Ryder or Skoglund.

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.

IDK, it sounds kind of nutty, but something tells me Eddie may be right on this one. Beterbiev is hittable and Smith has enough power to drop and hurt anyone with that quick hook of his. He'll be a sizeable underdog (as he should given the Canelo performance), but I think the version of Smith who fought Canelo is in the past. Smith will be a very live underdog in this fight.

beterbiev will be gradually slipping from fight to fight but he wont have slipped enough to lose to smith, smith has no dog in him saw that against ryder and canelo, beterbiev will be able to plod forward and land still even at 39, he might be too old to beat bivol now though

I like Callum and wish him well but it's hard to see where Hearn is making sense here, Beterbiev would eat Canelo alive and Callum never won one round against against him .I know it's not always the case when one beats another but can't beat the other but Callum shut up shop as soon as he felt Canelo's punchers and Beterbiev is much bigger than Canelo and punchers much harder.I think that is amore realistic argument than what Hearn is leading people to believe.Pretty desperate yet again by Hearn I'd say but as always he's good for the causals.

You're right, Smith will fold just like he did against Canelo.

At least we can attribute that comment to promoting. Good luck lol!
Like Cubber Lang's prediction in Rocky III.."pain.."

Wasn't Smith the only one of the champions who made it 12 against Canelo? Of course then Canelo got schooled by Bivol and hasn't been able to stop anyone since...

Actually, Callum's record post Canelo is 2-0. BJS retired. Yildirim is 3-2 against nobodies, Plant is 1-1, and Golovkin retired. So he's doing the best of any of them post Canelo, not counting Bivol of course.

ohhh!! KING BTERBEVE MY LOVE WITH YOU IS UNCONDITIONAL ...GOLLORY TO YOU KING...!!!

[PunchyPotorff]

While I doubt Smith stops Beterbiev... the champion is getting old... and the end has a habit
of sneaking in there at the most unguarded moment. So I guess we will see soon enough.
Should be a great fight while it lasts.

No dis*****g your facts. But he went 12 with canelo by basically shelling up very early in the fight and staying that way. On that basis he might even go the distance with beterbiev but that's not the same as trying to win. Thanks.

Rofl, AB could knock Hearn’s entire roster out in a weekend.
