Comments Thread For: Callum Smith Confident of Beterbiev Shocker: I Definitely Do Believe I Will Prove All The Doubters Wrong

He couldn't hurt Canelo at all, but he kept sticking and moving enough to finish the fight. Somehow people see that as cowardly. Apparently you are supposed to stand in the middle and get knocked out.

Well tbf that would have been a much better look than being backed to the ropes and getting wailed on by a guy half his size.

Callum's best performance is about 4 years ago, his biggest night was quit job and he thinks he can suddenly beat the best light heavy on the planet after having beaten no one of note at 175? LOL

he better bring his brothers because the only way he wins is if its a tag team match, "The Smith Brothers vs Beterbiev"

All 4 of them v Betterbeef still only makes it a 50/50 fight!

That only happened a few times in the later rounds. Smith was never down, and only seemed to be in trouble during a few flurries. That's why it was such a boring fight. Canelo would have needed 5+ more rounds to get a knockout.

Also "half his size"? They have weight classes. They were literally the same exact size by weight. Height doesn't win every time, and anyone who has ever watched boxing knows that.

Callum Smith is sooooo far out of his league it's not funny. He will run for as long as he can until he gets brutally KO'd. Bring on Bivol.

Smith stepped up to Light Heavy 3 years ago after loss to Canelo.
But only fought 2 times at Light Heavy against questionable opposition.
Smith also has an 18 month lay off?!

I think the question is: Beterbiev by KO or by UD?

Beterbiev has won exclusively by KO. But Callum Smith seems like the guy to survive to a decision.
