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

[MulaKO]

A 16 month lay off for smith how can someone call themselves a sports man let alone an athlete / pro boxer, its ridiculous

I thought Artur looked really rusty
He was off for a year also
You can see the old beginning after 6th round

B vs B next and it will probably be match of the year along with Fury v Usyk. Bivol can have a (slight) edge in pure technique and movement/punching output, but Beterbiev has serious chances.

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

He said Bivol signed an agreement with Saudi to face Beterbiev. Beterbiev still needs to make his own agreement with the Saudis. It's the way things are done out there, and why there's no "split".

The other two sites 24/7 and wtv , i read Slow Eddie saying that Artur signed just needed the win tonight
Yes , i know he’s a snake so this is on him
Some friends of mine said he was quiet like a mouse tonight lol

24/7 If I’m not mistaken Slow Eddie says that Artur signed
Check it out

Most of the writers on 24/7 are just forum users who base their articles on secondhand internet content. It's not reliable.

As I said previously, the way things work in Saudi is that each boxer makes their own agreement. As far as I know, Eddie has only reported Bivol signing his own agreement.

If someone can find a quote of Eddie saying otherwise I'll retract, but I suspect it's just a misunderstanding of the situation by weak writers under pressure to put out content.

Maybe but I know Artur won’t have any fughin problems signing up
This is what he’s wanted from day one
Remember the days when he’d be third fourth fight on the card
The arena three quarters empty And I knew I was watching someone really special

he passed all his drug tests, but haters gonna convince themselves of this bs, nothing will change your mind

This is disingenuous. I'm not taking a position on Beterbiev specifically, but Lance Armstrong passed all his tests too. And the UCI had far stricter, more uniform protocols than boxing.

Smith started way better against Beterbiev than he did vs Canelo at least was throwing his hands, gave him round 2 thats about it tho.

[dan-b]

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

Recreational drugs and performance enhancing drugs are qualitatively different subjects. Even if steroids were legal it would still be a question about whether organisers of events and competitions would want people on them.

Beterbiev a complete monster tho his glancing blows almost KO Smith expecting Canelo to face him just lacks Boxing IQ.
