Comments Thread For: Callum Smith on Artur Beterbiev Fight: 'I've Always Watched Him and Felt I Had the Style to Beat Him'

[eco1]

I think Smith is "feeling" a bit too much and he is going to hit the floor within 5 rounds.

People forget that Smith was already struggling to make 168 and was given less than 5 weeks notice for the Canelo fight. Not sure quite how much you can read into that but at the end of the day he went 12 rounds with a peak Canelo who then went on to obliterate Saunders and Plant. Not entirely sure if an aging Beterbiev punches harder than a prime Canelo. Haven’t seen Beterbiev break any orbital bones recently as Canelo did against Saunders. Stating Beterbiev punches harder at this point is a fairly shakey opinion.

The other thing being overlooked is quite how much punishment Beterbiev took against Yarde. Yes he won but he shipped a lot of punches and did visibly get wobbled a couple of time. Personally I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he ages overnight after that fight but we’ll see at the weekend I guess.

I think Smith is likely to do a lot better than most on here are expecting much the same as Yarde did.

Canelo wasn't a hard puncher until he started doing the CVS thing.
Hard puncher my ass, maybe with 10k stipulations and drugged to the gills.

Are you betting on Smith to win? We all know how you love bringing up ******** since you’re a degenerate ******** loser. Remember the time you bet your life savings on a fight, lost, and then your wife left you for a black guy that works in finance and the way you found out was when you walked in on them in your bedroom?? I still can’t believe you shared that story on here and didn’t think I would throw it in your face every chance I got. Just like I never forgot you telling me you were coming to see Jacobs vs Dervey in MSG, said you were gonna kick my ass in a sparring session, asked me for a catch weight lmaooooo, and when I followed up with you, you bailed like a pu$$y with 5 different excuses. Damn, that’s a bad combo, being a ******** addicted loser with no female and then being a pu$$y on top of that. There’s literally nothing that makes you a man. Lmaooooo

3 gyms at least I like V@gina. You go to 3 different gyms to hang out in the locker rooms and showers to stare at dics all day. Goofy ass bald headed white clown with NO $$$$$$.

But yes I'm gonna bet the Over 9.5 for the FOR SURE Win!!! You probably have Smith losing in the 1st round because your a FKN RT@RD!!!

Go put money on it then! Your gonna be WRONG like always.... Why do clowns make predictions but never put $$$$ where there mouths are??? Do you ever get fights right? That would be a NO. So best to not bet $$$ or someone will end up owning you.

Those kunta kinte worshipers are funny.

Expect massive street riots and looting claiming wacism.

Haha It's Like Canelo Grabbed them by their P@ssies??? Eco1 and Suk Suk both said they hate Canelo because he pimped out their moms and would do her an@l while they watched her moan and SCREAM for more. Then Canelo tossed them to the homes for some more fun....

Yeah he damaged them clowns up REAL good!!!!

1. I gave you 3 boxing gym options so you couldn’t puss out by saying any gym was too far from where you were staying. Yet you still pussed out.

2. If you want to call someone a ret@rd, you may want to use the correct version of you’re vs your. You uneducated cuck.

he ran all night from little canelo, he fought scared with a former super welterweight.

Beterbiev is going to run him over. he dont have the heart to survive beterbiev. Beterbiev is "heavy handed", he has power in every punch, with both hands, at all distances. Its a break you down power not a one punch snapping power. there isnt just any one punch for smith to avoid, he will have to eat some of them and he dont have the heart for it. first few partially landed shots he will feel that he is with another planet of fighter and he isnt going to want to go there, he will try to survive but beterbiev is good at cutting the ring off and will knock his ass out.

He ran all night from John Ryder too, and got a gift. I think he gets nervous more from the pressure, and Beterbiev is far more pressure and far more power than those two guys

1) Canelo has never punched remotely as hard as Beterbiev
2) When did Beterbiev take all this punishment? He was “visibly wobbled” one time, where he backed into the corner then flipped Yarde and unloaded on him. Even Yarde admitted after the fight that it was a trap he fell into.

This is a Boxing site not a classroom. And you are a fkn Clown who can't EVER pick the right fighter to win because you are the Freddie Roach of Predictions.... When you pick a winner everyone else bets $$$$$ on the other guy because you predict with your V@gina instead of watching fights.

I don't get it:

Has Callum's power all of sudden magically and proportionately increased and travelled up as he has moved up to 175lbs? It doesn't work that way, otherwise everyone would just do SnC and move up a few divisions. Your power has a ceiling.

How much "bigger and stronger" is he now he doesn't have to cut another 7lbs in weight (ie, he isn't dehydrating himself for another few hours on a Thursday before the weigh-in)?

Didn't he have mega power in sparring when he WASN'T cutting weight? Or was he losing all his mythical power when he was cutting down to 168lbs and only regaining X amount as he rehydrated? That would still make him weaker than the sparring version of himself of a few weeks before the fight. Makes zero sense.

What difference can an extra 7lbs make when he is probably rehydrating to the SAME weight (on fight night) as he was when he was 168lbs? He was coming in at 185-190lbs as a SMW rehydrated and is around the same weight as a LHW now in the ring. His body has a maximum elasticity factor that needs to be considered which people are overlooking.

Furthermore, if he has such vaunted power, why not just skip 175lbs and move up to Cruiserweight instead?
He looks like he could fill it out nicely.
Of course he won't do that because his power won't increase proportionately like all his fanboys are making out to be.

The reality is that Smith is hoping and praying that Beterbiev gets OLD overnight and he can land his counter left hook and get a KO. Every single interview in the run upto the fight, Callum has talked about Beterbiev's age.

"Please God, let him be an old man and let me hit him before he hits me"

Personally, I see Beterbiev having too much ring IQ and will avoid that left hook and be able to reset Smith and probably time him coming in.

He's seen Smith's style many times as an amateur and it's nothing new. Smith is making himself out to be an oracle when we all know fighters revert to type when the pressure comes in.
