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

[haben]

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.

[margaret thatcher]

artur can barely miss with the jab

Round 5 =

Smith busier. Landing decent. Closer round but not enough.

10-9 Beterbiev
50-45 Beterbiev

[Sendo Takeshi]

Smith fighting gutsy, but Beterbiev is just too good.
He can go all 12 rounds like that.

[lazboy]

Rd 6 was Smith's best rd but I thought he lost it.

[haben]

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.

[lazboy]

Wow. Complete domination.

[ironbeard]

Round 7 =

Beterbiev starting to go for it. Smith landing some. Smith still there. Still giving what he can.

It is over.

[margaret thatcher]

bert was excellent, jab couldnt miss. didnt get wild like he did vs yarde

Yeah agreed. Wasn't competitive at all. Slow methodical beat down.

[Sendo Takeshi]

But..Eddie Hearn told me Smith would knock Beterbiev out.
He lied to me.

[haben]

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.

Smith didn't win a round or come close.

He told me Kell Brook was knocking out GGG.

I’m beginning to think he’s a bit of a bullshitter..

[margaret thatcher]

this was a boxing lesson and beat down for me. bert could hardly miss with the jab. smith with ocassional moments but mostly taken on bert's gloves. no scares for berrt. bert broke him down with powerful, sharp boxing and then finished him hard. ref was crazy to be letting it go on until the corner stepped in

No way. Can't believe nobody..

[haben]

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

[bbb636]

Ramadan ends april 9th and he said they will be ready 3 months after it.

[haben]

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

What could possibly go wrong!

[amwsnw]

Dominant display. I expected Smith to move more, especially when he wasnt throwing. Gave Smith one round. Artur's power and accuracy on display.

[apollo creed]

well its a good'ish win for Arthur but c'mon its not like he beat a prime Kovalev or Ward. Ryder beat Callum too, imo.

Bivol vs Betebiev needs to happen asap. Beterbiev is almost 40 y/o.

OK, Smith had never even been put down before and he was as game as they come, but that was a classic example of how not to use your considerable reach and height advantages.

Anyway, it looks like Eddie's had a bit of a 'rethink' now.

We know Beterbiev is vastly underrated, but according to Eddie he might not even be human.

Eddie's obviously pissed off in losing to Grampa Bob, but it's a good job he stopped himself short of openly accusing Beterbiev of using PEDs.

His dad taught him well.
