Artur Beterbiev v Callum Smith

[Master]

I was extremely disappointed in Callum effort against Canelo too especially after a career best performance when he stopped and retired Groves.

I want Beterbiev to win so that a unification fight with Bivol can still happen. His fight against Yarde was one of the best FOTY.

I can see Callum feel the power and try and survive again.

The highly-anticipated fight between Callum Smith and unified light-heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev has been postponed.

The Canadian has undergone surgery on his jaw after suffering from a bone infection that came as a result of dental work.

This means the 38-year-old's mandatory title defence has now been delayed with a new date yet to be announced.

This is really unfortunate. So jaw/ tooth infection? Don’t hear about that a lot today. Hope they can get it back on track. Always a pleasure watching the one-man-wrecking crew that is Beterbiev!

Callum Smith will fight Artur Beterbiev in Canada on 13 January after their light-heavyweight world championship fight was postponed.

I agree.

Disappointed with his performance against Canelo as he seemed star struck.

Would that Smith have beaten a Benevidez?

Either way, like Mayweather says you need to perform under the spotlights.

I see Smith crumbling and it’s a shame as his left hook is vicious.

[Master]

John Ryder believes Smith can disrupt these plans.

"I think it's a great fight for Callum," Ryder told talkSPORT.com, "Especially with Beterbiev being injured and the fight being postponed. I think it's a good sign.

"Is age getting the better of Beterbiev now? Is the timing right for Callum?

"I know Callum's going to his back yard for the fight and rightly so.

"If you want to fight a champion than what better way to do it than in their back yard?

"I've got high hopes for Callum in this fight, I think he'll come away victorious."

Beterbiev will butcher Smith

All wifi down for a 5x5 block area locally and hot spots buggy or nonexistent . “Should” be up by Monday. Here’s to catching big fights on your tiny phone, possibly! Another reason to miss boxing on cable . May be time to rent a U haul and blow this dinosaur City. Still say Smith will make a fight if it before being ground down. Hearn going overboard with the ko chatter and sitting on his punches with Beterbiev. Either way he’s going to need to be it early or latter.

[Master]

Callum Smith, 33, is an underdog against Beterbiev on away soil and says the champion's power is not on his mind.

"The best version of me beats anyone in the world," Smith said.

"I fully stand by that. The time's now. I'm ready to become a two-division world champion."

At a news conference on Thursday, Smith's trainer Buddy McGirt said they weren't "stupid" and were prepared for Beterbiev's power.
