    Beterbiev might get sparked by Smith Jr

    I haven't seen Smith Jr since the Hopkins fight. But if that version shows up, I'm giving the construction worker a shot here

      Well, Smith had a broken jaw so he was out of commission for a while.
      I think Beterbiev will get the job done--mid round knockout--but I wouldn't be surprised if he goes down again. He's a bit robotic and like a lot of these Russian fighters are not really dynamic on the inside. Smith's loopy punches could work in his favor here.

        He beat a 52 year old coming off a 2 year layoff...
        Beterbiev is a whole different animal. He has a punchers chance I guess but nothing more.

          Not sure about that. Getting dropped by Callum Smith and Jeff Paige Jr in only 13 fights tells me he might have punch resistance issues.

            I saw the highlights. He started out well, but lost the momentum.

              Callum Johnson. And I said he has a punchers chance didn't I? Talent wise Beterbiev is on a whole different level.

                Might have been the broken jaw but he only won one round because of a knock down. Everything else was all Barrera.
