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

[Chollo Vista]

ESPN straight up showed the first KD in slow motion was behind the head

LMAO they showed it in slow motion

Beterbiev vs Bivol is a top 5 fight in all of boxing! And I can’t wait

[jaded]

Itās why youāre taught not to bend at the waist, because youāll get clipped behind the ear. And itās legal because you put yourself in that position

He put his head down...he got hit.

Play time is over for Beterbiev and Bivol. Any other fight is simply unacceptable.

[richardt]

I'm glad others are seeing just how many punches to the neck and back of the head he throws and gets away with!

[letsgochump]

Smith looks really big. How was he boiling down to 168?

Back then he was known as Gollum Smith.

Bivol will school him

He’ll try
King Artur will not be stopped
Will be unified champion

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.

Behind the ear isn’t illegal though, back of the head is. A lot of big fights have been affected by shots behind the ear, AJ/Ruiz and Wilder/Fury 2 were both behind fbe ear shots

Yep. Biev should apparently wait courteously for the opponent to stand up straight and stop throwing punches. Getting hit on the ear and behind the ear due to bending down is on the opponent, not Artur. His opponents start ducking to get away and Biev is throwing, as he should.

Biev is going to stop Bivol for two reasons. Bivol does not have the power to keep him away for an entire fight. And Biev is massively under rated for his boxing skill. He has great balance, feet and ring IQ. He isn't just a puncher.

Already signed

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
