Comments Thread For: Paul Smith Tabs Brother Callum To Win in Style: Beterbiev is Wide Open When He Lets His Shots Go

[Butt stuff]

Again, Beterbiev is not just a slugger. His offense is responsible, but because of the power he brings, his KO ratio is high. If I was in Smith's corner, I wouldn't depend on Beterbiev being "wide open".

Beterbiev might look slow and sloppy sometimes, but that sneaky lead short right ****s opponents up every time. He's so accurate with that and does so much damage.

And your brother couldn't deal with John Ryder's pressure, so good luck with Mr Beterbiev. If Beterbiev has plenty left, Smith is gonna feel like he's in a nightmare judging by how he's done with pressure fighters before. Beterbiev is much more than just pressure too, he is well schooled.

I give Smith a chance if only for the fact Beterbiev is nearing 40, seems to pick up injuries etc. Even if he hasn't taken lots of punishment in fights, age is age and training camps etc take their toll. Beterbiev will decline at some point in the fairly near future, 100% guaranteed. boxing history shows that, so it'll never surprise me to see Beterbiev get cleaned out at some point soon. The harsh reality of getting older.

Smith the live dog, Late stoppage win.
