[ironbeard]

I would love to see Smith win. My hope is that he treats Kadyrov’s “brother” to a beating.

They’re hot

are you saying art's naked legs arent

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 winner hopefully after this.

You got me. I’ll delete my account now.

[margaret thatcher]

i'll give you a second chance because im the forgiving type

[lazboy]

I've put money on Bert by decision. Decent return, given Smith is a high caliber opponent.

[ironbeard]

I just hope Smith is legitimately there to give it a go.

callum touching hands with fans on the way in, i always respect that from a fighter

Beterbiev v Smith

Round 1 =

Here we go.

What a nightmare beginning. Laying on the ropes. God right left Smith.

10-9 Beterbiev

What is Smith thinking?

[lazboy]

Wow I'm shocked. As Bradley is saying, it's too easy for Bert to get in and land clean.

[haben]

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

Smith won the 2nd IMO

[lazboy]

This pace won't trouble the 38 yr old Beterbiev.

[ironbeard]

No idea what Smith is thinking. Good double l hook Smith. Smith starts coming on in 2. Close round.

Smith trying but Beterbiev outboxing him.

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

Smith has to hurt Beterbiev or this fight will be over soon. Smith just not up to it. Smith comes on. Big combo Smith.

Beter is one hell of a fighter (and champion).
