I see it as a mis-match to tell you the truth. I'm not sold on Smith's power. Beterbiev ain't doing himself any favors with the stretches of inactivity. I think Beterbiev rolls through him.

Could be. Would you go so far as to say Beterbiev is the most feared man in the division?Originally Posted by Alpha

Re: Joe Smith Jr vs Artur Beterbiev
Possibly perceived that way alongside Kovalev. But for me the most dangerous guy is Gvozdyk.

Re: Joe Smith Jr vs Artur Beterbiev
Why is Beterbiev so inactive? Injuries? Promotional Issues?
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Re: Joe Smith Jr vs Artur Beterbiev
He had surgery on his right shoulder that put him out for almost a year but that was before his last 2 fights. The Barrera fight fell through.

Re: Joe Smith Jr vs Artur Beterbiev
The last I read, he's trying to leave his promoter which is always a hassle free engagement and wont in any way mean a prolonged period of inactivity. Critical time as well. He's right on the edge and needs a nudge over the line.
Agreed with Alpha, Beterbiev would take Smith apart. Smith's a strong guy with a decent dig, Beterbiev a different beast altogether

Re: Joe Smith Jr vs Artur Beterbiev
Even with two huge scalps on his belt still so many unknowns on Smith. Only loss was a turning of his back job and not sure about the jaw still. Fully expect he'll need more depth next month vs Barrera, power alone will not beat that jab.
