1/13/24 ESPN: Artur Beterbiev vs Callum Smith (WBO, WBC, IBF Light Heavyweight Titles)

[NZA]

bivol would control the range and not trade.

 

[patscorpio]

Every single punch even if it was thrown from only 6 inches snapped Smith's head back. I've never seen someone with the ability to generate that type of power from that short of a distance ever. His power is unreal, it's like getting punched by a bear.

him and triple g that work every part of their punch delivery system

 

[Megadeus]

I was gonna bet the house on 7th Rd KO, I forgot to hit finalize

 

[seemorecizzy]

beterbiev is a damn good fighter man lol
Bivol can hold his own with anyone tho. cant wait to see da fight

 

[Recca Gatsby]

The Beast got this nikka looking like Quasimodo

 

[sportscribe]

Really clinical punching. Surprised by the amount of power he's able to generate with those short punches. Big risk trying to fight this guy in the clinch.

He's out here moving like a boxing Khabib. You can't see too many weaknesses in him as a fighter.

 

[patscorpio]

buddy had to stop that...im sure he didnt want shades of dadashev on his conscience

 

[R=G]

Punched through his defense like it was nothing...

 

[Jerz]

a year off and going into the ring vs someone who also has a respectable punch as well as a size advantage and is in prime..all at the age of 39...beterbiev is the most dangerous fighter to me but this shyt will and may catch up to him

I love how you were covering your tracks here

 

[Knicksman20]

That was the best jab I've seen Beterbiev use in any of his fights. Ike Quartey like tonight. He can really box & setup his power. Between his ability to cut the ring off, throw just about any punch in his arsenal, & like @Dallas' 4 Eva said, he doesn't even need much space to rock your shyt lol. He's a monster in this division

And dudes think Bivol can keep Beterbiev off him

Bivol's more of a SuperMiddle than Lightheavyweight

bivol has the foot work, speed and IQ to make it a tough fight.

I just don't think he has the power to get his respect.

smith fought a terrible fight

At points of the fight he was just standing in front of Beterbiev, and allowing himself to get trapped on the ropes.

 

[Swirv]

Please stop predicting against Beterbiev, it's a losing proposition. It looks bad on you people. Bring on Bivol, the only true 50-50 fight.

Bivol has the motor and better movement, but dam Beterbiev’s power is destructive and economical. Bivol will have to be super accurate that night in a larger ring.

 

[patscorpio]

his excellency is pleased

about to go to saudi arabia for the undisputed...live on espn+ ppv prolly lol

 

[Knicksman20]

Bivol gonna have some success but he'd get smoked before too long.

Totally believe that. He'd eventually get broken down just like everyone
