I’m really looking forward to this fight but I am favouring Beterbiev to emerge victorious. I was impressed with Smith’s win over George Groves in the Super Boxing Series all those years ago. However, Beterbiev, even at the age of 38 with injuries is still very hard to beat.
Beterbiev is definitely the pick. Smith was impressive against Groves but it was a good while ago now and Groves never fought again. Smith hasn't shown form at the top level, especially when he fought Canelo. I give him a puncher's chance but not much more, despite his size.
Yeah, I really didn't like his performance against Canelo. It seemed like he just wanted to try and survive the full 12 rounds. I think we will know from early on in the fight if Smith has enough ambition to become a unified light heavyweight champion and beat Beterbiev.
Friend of mine thinks Smith is cashing out and Beterbiev will batter him in about 6. Guess we'll find out. He was weight drained against Canelo and got battered to the biceps but no excuses this time, has to throw heavy.
