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

I predict you will be here with a different opinion after Biev and Bivol fight.

If he’ll be here at all once Artur defeats Bivol

You should watch some old Provodnikov fights. Dude took haymakers like they were light jabs. Walked through massive shots with no effect. Wasn't a great fighter, but insane punch resistance. He is a Russian fighter as well. Many frok that area have thicker bone structure and much better punch resistance. Biev has a great chin, along with sick power, and he is a really good boxer, much better than he gets credit for.

I remember Provodnikov used to eat power punches from guys like john molina jr, lucas mathysse like nothing and still kept on coming forward throwing haymakers of his own lol! Beterbiev on the other has both insane power and a solid chin. Dude also had an excellent amateur background who competed in the omympics, winning world championships and world cup who also fought the likes of Usyk, Kovalev, Michael Hunter etc.

What a boxing clinic from the destroyer! Haters will hate, but Beterbiev is the real deal and has proven it again and again. Skills, power and discipline. A true champion!

Has Beterbiev ever fought anybody that actually has some foot work?

Again, when you fight statues, it is an easy target practice.

Bivol does so many thing better than usual Beter`s opponents, that it is not ever funny.

Man, boxing is not mathematics. Beterbiev fights nothing like Smith jr.

And believe me Beterbiev will fight Bivol carefully. If he jumps on, he will get countered.

Wow, Smith jr. hurt Bivol, but lost almost every round. That is the outcome Beter wants?

Smith Jr fights wild at times but even that style was sufficient enough to hurt Bivol. Beterbiev has a much better boxing IQ than Smith Jr so the mathematics should tell you Bivol is in trouble. He does not have the power to deter Beterbiev from doing what he wants to do - and Beterbiev can box & move or apply pressure.

Beterbiev didn't even reach Top gear

His name is Usyk
You ever hear of him ?

You serious? Smith landed several unseen counter left hooks very similar to one's on his highlight reel kos

And by unseen I mean beterbiev never saw them and absorbed them like nothing

It's not just that his punch power and stamina is not natural but i can see im pissing in the wind to educate anyone here

I was nieve once and I figured my favorite fighter pacquiao was clean but looking back with the knowledge I have now its obvious all my heroes have taken something they've just evaded the corrupt testing

You seriously think the likes of Messi and ronaldo ain't on gear too??

Trust me these guys pay off a doctor to say they have low trt and get synthetic testosterone and a doctors note which can't be mentioned by the drug testing commisions due to privacy reasons

Some are just good at not getting caught my friend

so you're saying that when VADA finds very high testosterone levels that would cause a fighter to fail the test that those fighters taking testosterone with a prescription then turn round to VADA and say "not so fast VADA, here's my doctor's note" and VADA then changes the test result to a pass?

This seems unlikely to me. Not only that but surely the levels of testosterone are still on the test result and anyone who knows anything about testosterone levels would flag that.

Things can get hushed up but eventually a whistle blower from within a camp/VADA/state commission would come out with something.

I’ve always said they should just legalize it
Just look at the weed situation , this fight on drugs is done
Then we wouldn’t be discussing is he or isn’t he

well, we'd be discussing how much is he on - so there'd still be room for doubt
with drugs everything should be legalised and all the money spent on prevention should be spent on education and mental health services
