Artur Beterbiev v Callum Smith

[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.

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.

Watched a YouTube last night with Joe Gallagher’s views on the fight.
What a fucking prick and a baby he is!
Being Smith’s former trainer, the dignified thing to do would be to back Smith to the hilt , not show everyone how bitter you are by tipping Beterbiev.
Ok , you might saying “he’s being honest.” Ok, fine, but why start now?
If he was still Smith’s trainer, he would be blowing all sorts of shit up Smith’s ass, rendering “honesty” as a word that is not in his vocabulary.
I’ve always thought he was a fucking big baby.

“It has come to my attention that Callum intends to disseminate misleading information about my VADA testing program for this fight," Beterbiev said, "Let me be clear now: I am a clean athlete.

"I have never tested positive for a banned substance throughout my amateur and professional career and I complied with all VADA requirements and protocols during the build-up to this fight.

"Any attempt to imply otherwise, through innuendo or suggestion is slanderous and libellous.

"This conduct is beyond acceptable trash talk in combat sports. Callum is already searching for excuses, looking for a way out. See you Saturday.”
