Comments Thread For: Artur Beterbiev Drops Callum Smith Twice, Stops Him in Seventh

[Light_Speed]

Unlike other opponents, Bivol won`t stand here in close range in Artur`s pocket to get hit behind the head all over again.

Every Artur fight I see the same story and Beterbiev has never faced somebody as good as Bivol.

And Bivol has never faced someone as good as Beterbiev.

Beterbiev hammering the back of the head the whole fight. He has those looping shots and Smith is not able to defend them/turning/exposing his back of head, Beterbiev not thinking twice about unleashing those behind the head punches.

What is Beterbiev supposed to do ? Wait until Smith aligns his head to normal stance ? It's a fight after all.

[Chollo Vista]

Correct, however there are moments where Beterbiev is intentionally aiming behind the ear/back of the head. Look closely at how he turns his punches over sometimes. It’s deceiving.

Been saying this for years

[Cypocryphy]

Rabbit punches are behind the head, not the side of the head. Behind the ear is not a rabbit punch. Borderline maybe but it has to be directly behind the head. And these guys are turning away from Beterbiev and dipping down. If you dip and get clipped, that’s your fault.

Beterbiev vs Bivol ain’t happening until July earliest

I think Beterbiev is a very hard puncher, but his trick is clear as day. Hit hard behind the head, that’s how he gets his KO’s. But he has a good chin and good stamina to go with that.

As long as refs don’t enforce it though, he’s going to keep doing it.

He's perfected it

He could be standing in front of you. He knows how to loop the punch, sometimes over the jab, so it lands to the back of the head

[Calibone1]

Already signed

Not done according to Arum. Earliest in July possibly.

[MulaKO]

Beterbiev still needs to sign, of course they're waiting for this fight to finish

Hes ducked Bivol for a while, even ran away from DAZN when Bivol joined s few years ago. Then Arum didn't wanna make the fight because Bivol is "boring", which means your guy probably gets outboxed

so now he has to man up and sign it

Slow Eddie stated it’s already done
Or is more bullchit

[SUBZER0ED]

Well, of course he did! Smith is no match for Canelo, how he would do vs Beterbiev is a no-brainer.

Ramadan = time for Beterbiev to cycle his PED's he almost just got caught for
