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.

Re: Joe Smith Jr vs Artur Beterbiev
Yea Beterbiev vs Barrera was supposed to take place in April was what I meant but it was cancelled when Barrera never signed the contract or something. That lead to Artur being out for 6 months so far.no it is still on(smith jr v barrera), I think beterbiev was due to fight barrera and that fell through for whatever reason.It's off officially?

Re: Joe Smith Jr vs Artur Beterbiev
That is a long article Tam but essentially he has been injured comes from a deprived background.
I rate him highly and hope he makes loads of money and wins the title. If he fought Kovolev/Adonis it would be a barn burner of a fight.
I think he is skilled enough to give Ward problems too.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
