[Boxing- Canada] 13.1/ 23:00 A.Beterbiev- C.Smith

We’ve been waiting for Artur Beterbiev’s wheels to fall off for years now, and while there was a bit of wobble against Anthony Yarde, he still managed to beat down a young, heavy-handed bruiser who was having the night of his life. Whether that means he still has the juice to beat Dmitry Bivol is another question entirely, but I’m confident he’s way too much for Smith.

To “Mundo’s” credit, he definitely looks revitalized at 175. He’s brought his power with him and may have even multiplied it. He can’t change what he fundamentally is, though, and that’s someone who meets opponents head-on instead of using his prodigious size to stay out of danger. He went from getting bullied by John Ryder to getting bullied by Canelo Alvarez despite a full year with which to address the weakness “The Gorilla” exposed.

He’s not elusive enough to stay out of Beterbiev’s firing line and nobody south of 200 can survive Beterbiev’s firing line. He may rattle Beterbiev once or twice, but once Beterbiev starts consistently forcing Smith to the ropes, it’s only a matter of time.
