Re: Artur Beterbiev vs. Callum Smith | ESPN - January 13, 2024

Bivol has signed an agreement so nothing should stop the fight from happening.

What could possibly go wrong! :-P

Bivol fight cannot happen any sooner than July or August? Going by what his Uncle Bob was saying.

Re: Artur Beterbiev vs. Callum Smith | ESPN - January 13, 2024

Only gave Smith the 2nd round and he did tag Beterbiev with some decent shots but didn't have anywhere near the power to put a dent in him but he did make him miss.

Re: Artur Beterbiev vs. Callum Smith | ESPN - January 13, 2024

Smith cannot put a dent in Beterbiev. He's doing a good job as anyone can but it's nowhere near enough. Competitive fight all the same.

Re: Artur Beterbiev vs. Callum Smith | ESPN - January 13, 2024

Still a good effort against Beterbiev and Smith tagged him a bit that round but Artur fighting like an old Pro and pacing himself. Smith giving him a good fight although losing.

Smith boxing well but still breaking down. Pace suits Beterbiev.

Good round by Beterbiev but Smith threw a dangerous left hook that just missed on the bell.

Smith won the 2nd IMO

Re: Artur Beterbiev vs. Callum Smith | ESPN - January 13, 2024

Can't judge Smith by the Canelo fight, he was dead at 168 when he fought Ryder. Smith has a sneaky right hand and powerful left hook. Inactivity maybe his undoing but although Artur has been inactive, that sometimes works better for the older guys as they at least are still fresh. Bivol vs the winne...

Re: Artur Beterbiev vs. Callum Smith | ESPN - January 13, 2024

Good stoppage but Mbili showed a very leaky defence and if he wants the Canelo money then he wants to cover his chin a lot more because Canelo will chin check him.

Is Mbili burning out a bit? The round before he looked like he was ready to end it but slowed down.

Was thinking he would be a good fight for Morell.

We've waited half an hour and now ESPN pump out the ads!

Watch out for Mbili, he can punch. That's if the ads stop.

Terrific fight, Moloney wins by a whisker.

Hard fight to judge and punch count but the right decision.

Sanchez deserves a shot again, in the near future.

The long breaks between televised fights is annoying

Chisora started running out of steam after the 3rd and Usyk started coming on more and more.

Re: Round-by-Round: Oleksandr Usyk vs. Derek Chisora - 31 October 2020

Close fight and it would be hard to score from TV as Selby missed heaps but also tagged here and there.

Kambosis looked like he had plenty in the tank and finished strong.

Dont like white gloves under the ring lights. They dont show the full effect of a punch.

Re: Nice victory but let's see if Canelo will fight Beterbiev on Cinco de Mayo in 2020! Anyway congrats for Canelo!

Canelo is too small for 175, maybe Bivol but Beterbiev would Krush him, he has way too much power.

Callum Smith at 168 is a dangerous fight but BJS wouldn't be that much bigger if at all but he could make it a stinker of a fight.

Re: Round-by-Round: Saúl 'Canelo' Álvarez vs. Segey 'Krusher' Kovalev - November 2, 2019

Julie Lederman is a pretty accurate Judge and she had Canelo ahead. Kovs work was busy but not scoring a lot.

He probably looked more accurate on camera than ringside. Canelo kept the pressure on and wore him down by making him work and it paid off.
