There are boxers and there are finishers a thunderous pun men who know how to end a fight in dramatic style oh down goes bow leag and nearly through the RO since I was a little boy I always wanted to be the best in the world men whose fists rain

Down like the hammer of Thor one sping partner compare sping with me and car accident big exchange he gets him again Ur BBV has knocked out every opponent he’s faced while Callum Smith can send his opponents to sleep in the blink of an eye I do like fighting up

Close and another big left hand where they probably expect me to crumble and fall apart once they do close the gap I’m probably just as good up close as well you can prepare 100 times in gym but you you can do it that in ring you know it’s mean like Mike Tyson said

Everyone will have a plan before they get punched on January 13th these two Warriors will collide to prove who is the best puncher once and for all this is over in destructive fashion this is the tale of 10 punches BBV versus Smith most Fighters use the jab for

Timing and distance but that story can change because what happens when you have a jackhammer of a jab that was one of the first fights where betev just exploded out of the blocks as almost like he had zero respect for kadic I remember like first round when his belt is raining and same

Time in my mind come to punch him like hook left hook zv coming out like a ball of fire too much punch and you get dropped like you know back on the this was a total beat down round three he drops him with a series of short punches

And then in round five he shows off that power jab huge rightow and now a big left and that’s it it’s not solid punch it’s like chest him like you know chest his head like we we can continue this fight but referee is still he is a master of tactical Warfare the right

Weapon at the right time the right game plan wins you fights and wins them simply that’s what he did in this contest part of what makes better BF so dangerous is that he doesn’t have just a right hand my goodness he’s hurtful he has a left hook and he has a power jab

And Callum Smith is really going to have to be wary of that if you’re Callum Smith and you’re watching that I think the number one fundamental lesson is keep your composure this fight showed us that bed to beev is very very dangerous arur better it be Hest I just try to

Continue I’m not thinking about what happened with him I think they need to think about not me Callum Smith versus Rocky Fielding what we call in the UK a local Derby Liverpool versus Liverpool fight two unbeaten Fighters really at the top of the game first time we could where I was

Seeing people picking me to lose and a kind of give me a bit of a point to prove Smith seems almost in a trance when he go go in there once the Bell goes the ring clears and you’re just fully focused on what you there to do

When Elite boxers go head to-head the early rounds are often KY Affairs as Fighters test the medal of their opponent searching for a in the armor and when that space appears it’s hellbent for leather he doesn’t mind about fielding’s reputed power he goes in there and he exchanges I didn’t

Expect it to catch fire as quick as it did I think that’s show show in boxing you’ve always got expect unexpected is inside the first 30 seconds right out of the gate boom Callum Smith puts on the gas I think the first knockdown was 30

Seconds in from 30 seconds to the end of the fight it was just get rid of him it was a fire fight whilst it lasted but C Smith just blew Rocky Fielding away the legs look unsteady from Fielding he’s up against the ropes can’t just run in and

Forget about your own defense you’ve still got to be aware of what going to come back it’s the right and upstairs that’s going to do the damage n time 10 they give their last har theyve always got to be where Smith he’s a great counter puncher and it looks like it’s

All over right here you just thought that Callum was always one shot away with one of those counter shots Smith wins the Battle of Liverpool looking back was a great achievement I was so focused on reaching the very top a young star has arrived this is his

First notch on that ladder of success combinations are practiced over and over until a fighter can use them without thought existing in a space of muscle memory and lightning fast reactions one perceives an attack and then an explosion of instinct just unrelenting combinations left hands right hands he was prepared

To walk through the fire to land his own shots I think that’s part of better BF strategy he wants to bring B dick to him in my strategy I let him punch me they need to it be coming you know and there’s another right hand to the body

From better BF volck was in the fight whilst he may have been winning the battle he wasn’t winning the war better beia feels like he’s the dominant man tonight it’s palpable hard fight back and forth beautiful right hand change from both guys the 10th round he shows

His metal better BM is maing right now right uppercut comes in for better BM during 10 round there is no one punch I did very well and there’s a right hand that comes over the top a short left hand on the inside those that gets hurt straight punches

Left and right combination to finish his fo trying to come over the top with a right hand that’s it it’s over one of the best finishes in all boxing a dominating 10th round by better Bev and better Bev continued just to enhance that reputation going into the George gr

Fight I think he had very good reputation of was world champion he considered the number one in the world at the time George Groves was already a massive household name in the UK this was a really big fight that was the the underdog going into the fight I was the

BET an underdog not many people give me a chance this was the fight that Callum Smith cut his teeth at Elite level that was a chance to become the best in the world and I had a very good camp for it he likes people coming to him so he

Can time them and then I knew I had to just use me size take sent of the ring but not go to him as much Smith’s waiting patiently make him have to commit to me we saw Smith show presence of mind and great ring generalship and I

Knew it was a matter of time of when I’d land the right shot and I knew when I did that get with him right hand success from Smith George gross lost his balance momentarily one of the hardest techniques for a pugilist to master are finishing skills an ability that goes

Beyond the art of a one punch knockout a finisher much like an animal hunting its prey stalks their opponent waiting waiting and then unleashes and a left hook has put George BR on unsteady legs it’s the quick left hook from Callum Smith a very impressive punch Callum Smith is looking to te off

I knew I would find the gaps at some point and I landed a good catch left Duke which is one of me better shots and George Gro Championship Reign has come come to an end uh there was a big right hand and then the body shot absolutely

Robbed George Groves a proud champion of everything that he had left and that left up comes across it really is a cracking punch it scrambled him a little bit and then went in for the finish and go body shops the one that finally got me the win before that fight he had

Knocked out lesser opponents but George Groves even though he was at the end was an accomplished fighter and we have a new Champion I beat a very good fighter and I will finally become of the best on the planet it’s still the best feeling I’ve ever had in

Me boxing at its core is a pair of Fighters trying to impose their will physically on an opponent but the mental aspect of the sport is critical Beyond The Vicious senu is guile subus and the setup and when one weapon creates vulnerability to the second for everyone like you need to

Prepare but with Marcos Brown there is another think more because Marcus Brown is Sala when you box with Sala is a little bit differently Marcus Brown popping that ja from the sou sou PA stands better beev was conscious that he was losing rounds not a lot of Jabs from

Better beev so far but that he had his confidence in his own ability that he could claw the fight back he might lose something in the early rounds but that doesn’t mean that he’s losing control of the fight this was the most adversity better be I’ve had ever faced that cut

Is pouring blood from the for better I mean that cut was disgusting it was right in the middle of his forehead when I get cut my blood is not stop stop he’s bleeding bleeding hard body shot from better BF as he goes back downstairs with the left hand when

You prepare for for fight for like you know different scenarios different something like you need to be ready for that is a tough man to contend with better Bev is studying downloading data and eventually he is going to find a way to knock you out better Bev this is

Where he want wants to be he wants to keep his guy trapped in the ropes he found a home for the left hook to the body you can just hear the power Better B the sound of those punches you’re talking about someone banging a bass

Drum seconds left to go on the round as better [Applause] BF I remember he he get for labor when he’s like go to head I let you down he let you down he has good shot beautiful left hook to the body he’s always dangerous to the head but it

Was actually the time that he invested in the body that actually started the beginning of the end and again Marcus Brown’s credit he’s hurt but he’s trying to make adjustments once again show off is impressive combination punching better be at all over him he just dug a

Hole for brown he dismantled Brown he took his soul if you like how much more can Mar I do just try to do my job For centuries military tacticians have waxed lyrical about the importance of maintaining High Ground And when a fighter possesses this same advantage in the squared Circle the spirits of sunu Hannibal and George Patton can be channeled into a single punch the Adam fight was very special

For me it was first well title defense I think as a fighter You’ always dream of walking the ring as a world champion stalking get down I knew he was a clever fighter he had good back foot boxing ability still was pressure on Smith to deliver he knows he needs to come out

And impress and really get endam out of there quickly if endam goes to the distance or lingers too long people say that Callum Smith is not all that nice left hand and down goes I remember being a little bit frustrated because the round one knockdown and the round two

Both hands are come right at the end of the round Smith looking to te off and losing his fo they got up and then the bell went and I’m thinking this is going to be one of them nights and another big left hand K Smith is a cool calm and

Composed fighter early on Hassan and Dam just walked right into the Trap the knockdown round three was a good right hand that no definitely did deserve the fight to be finished right here a punishing K Smith threw a short right hand but it was like a cannon

Going off and that is it cal Smith I think is a lot better at range but he showed against endom that he can also finish on the inside too with that traving right hand it’s a funny feeling when you land the perfect shot that was a huge right hand The Knockout Punch

Just you don’t really feel any impact it’s like you punch straight through them it’s the varied attack that’s what we want to see from our Fighters we don’t want them to fall in love with one punch Callum Smith thank you very much and good night he has an appetite for

The big occasion some lights don’t go to plant but that was one that definitely it goes upon this looked like a great fight Joe Smith Jr big strong powerful aggressive loves to come forward the perfect foil though for better beer good Lu puncher versus puncher he has ambition she like

Angry you know Joe Smith is a really dangerous puncher we saw him wobble Demetri bevil so we knew better bef was going to be facing some danger in that fight Joe Smith is doing the right thing by pressing the issue trying to set the tone and trying to get a shot through I

Had two belts he had one belt like I mean it’s unification fight is very big motivation for for a G you know there’s a right hand from better BF Joe Smith Jr once the first bell rang the game plan went out the window a heavy heavy shot

It’s a clubbing shot oh off balance that’s a slip he thought let’s make it a dog fight you know power punchers they just don’t punch at the Target they punch through the target we have planned first since first round like we do like and everything is going well better be

It’s more like a steam engine gets chug upill after the first few rounds and I just continue like to do our plan you know the overhand right is arguably the most powerful punch in boxing but executing this lethal move that takes courage and timing make a sliver of a

Mistake and you’re off balance opened up and in danger on this occasion he was arcing it over like a big looping right hand and all it was doing was catching Joe Smith Jr High on the head and is combobulate him Smith coming forward behind the Jabs oh off balance and

Scores the knockdown does better BF Joe Smith Jr already on wobbly legs from the knockdown in round one and it’s a scary thought to look up into the opposing corner and see Archer BBV looking back at you and that was at the end of the first round the writing was already on

The wall look at this on the inside here in round two better bef was so patient he let Joe Smith apply all the pressure and I’m sure Smith was thinking that his best chance was to get better be out of there early big exchange he gets him again he’s so

Dangerous from so many angles he is looking to finish his opponent there’s a hook there’s an uppercut better be it’s on the attack Joe Smith is crumbling again into the ropes I show him like go here and punch here like you know Joe Smith he’s a sitting dep get knocked out

He might sit back and box he might take shots himself but he’s looking to finish he’s got the weapons and that overhand right is one of them another right hand uppercut big uppercut he is stumbling and this is over he’s a scary man you don’t want to fight this guy and if you

Have to you’re going to have to stick to your game plan Joe Smith Jr paid the price if the First Essential punch for a fighter is the jab you that’s it then the next key piece of their Arsenal is the straight right for many warriors in the ring it

Can be their most effective Power Punch but there is a tradeoff a cost one’s enemy has a greater chance to move in and wreak havoc so Callum Smith returns after losing his super middleweight belts to Saul Canelo Alvarez and he makes his debut at light heavyweight then question marks probably

For the first time over Callum Smith it was what it was it was a comeback fight after the loss but the Castillo fight was offered and it’s probably a tougher fight than what I expected to come back to because I knew he was quite dangerous

When I got to fight we I knew those was kind of a lot of question marks and around me how will he be after the loss cuz a lot of Fighters AR to say him coming back from a loss and what he shows in this fight is that he loves the sense of

Occasion Calum Smith just wipes the floor with him and really delivers a scary knockout I just let the right hand go it was a shot that I wouldn’t say I wake on a camp but I felt like it was improving under bu and he pulls off a brutal right

Hand knockout it’s weird it happens really fast but it can of happens in slow motion as well and I remember just to a right hand and then went to follow it with the left off this was one of the scariest Knockouts I’ve ever seen with my own eyes the shot itself it just

Happened so quickly he’s arrived he’s carried his power up to light heavyweight from Super middleweight and he’s made a statement it was a probably a good way to announce myself to a division which I had plans to to reach the top of Beyond an expression of shocking power the

Straight right can bail out a fighter treading into the troubling depths of deep Waters arer better bef we’ve seen him be Flawless in the ring undefeated knocked out every single opponent who is going to test him enter Anthony yard good shot by Anthony yard amazing physicality

Anthony yard heavy puncher known to be a destructive knockout Merchant better be making mistakes yard has got to punish him this was a highly anticipated matchup yard was a younger man he’s fresher he’s fit great left hand again from yard that’s been the punch for him

So far first round always like you know you you do some check like how it’s going like what he do you let him do something better BF has a habit of growing into fights if there are vulnerabilities they are early yard was a big puncher could he put a dent in

Better beev yard’s had a lot of success early could better beev stand up to that big right hand of Anthony yard that’s made better be a go back it that was a Tracker we start with jebs good War like with jebs first Valentino just started to find that jab with a bit more

Regularity of the champion what makes Arthur better be have great TV is that he’s vulnerable too in the armor of the great Russian champion and early in that fight against Anthony yard he was rocked by a few shots yards having most success with those short left hooks in the

Uppercuts that seems to be the way for him what’s extraordinary about better have he weathered a huge hail of bullets if you like from the fists of yard in the earlier rounds oh good left from I want to keep him to this position like all this seven

He knows he senses that he’s H the champion here but come the eighth round he sensed the killing time he can the for that punch like I see his like window to punch there [Applause] ohau Arthur better have straight right hand is one of the best punches in all

Of boxing a thunderous pun from there’s always one shot away from bringing the momentum back to himself better BV can sense the finish and it’s all over better Bev is a freight train that runs you over and even when he’s going through adversity he’ll find a way to

Get out of it in life not just Sports there’s often a sacrifice to be made between power and speed but in rare instances the fusion of both is a sight to behold beautiful and fearsome and equal measure as when a blindingly fast hook finds that sweet sweet purchase

So in 2022 Smith the world tour continued he was back in jeda where he had won the World Boxing Super Series fighting Matthew border leak I think I’ve been out the ring for was it 11 months which is an ideal and then to fight a kind of slick tricky southp is

Probably the last style you want to go in against after a long layoff everybody was actually thinking that this was a difficult fight for Callum Smith he wants to prove that he’s a threat to all the titles so stake for beating him I ever beat him I was next

To line to fight for the world title interesting fight when the first Bale rang border leak just sprung out of the traps oh tight left C from Calum Smith they trade hooks on the inside and bow leag Landing some good shots of his own I knew stay patient and done what what I

Was good at and listen to buddy that I would get him eventually and I’d be able to start Landing shots on the inside there from Calum Smith I remember Smith’s trainer saying to him this is all nervous energy you know just let him burn himself out telling Smith go to the

Body don’t worry about his head and there he goes left hook to the body and another one Smith is throwing everything hard at this point going into the four round off I remember it was probably the first time in the fight where I was pretty settled out there from Smith oh

Good shot from SPI I start to see signs of him slowing a little B leak on shaky legs and then say land is a good left off and down goes Bower league and nearly through the r and I can remember silence in the arena I mean how many

Times have you seen that in C Smith’s GD it’s a good shot it’s only me a you fight has got me out of trouble a few times hopefully it can win me three new world titles when Callum Smith steps into the ring to face Ur BBV he will

Attempt to do what no man has done before stop the most ferocious puncher in the sport it’s always what it means next when you never know how he going in fight it’s always like different in boxing sometimes it is Mind Over M might timing footwork stamina can turn the tide

Against a seemingly Unstoppable force that was a track by V is Callum Smith going to get that opportunity and now Callum Smith is looking to te off to swarm Archer Better B how do you stop a man like arer better B Better B wants to close the show don’t think he’s for

Anyone like me you haven’t F anyone like him on January 13th two Champions will face a challenge like none they’ve seen before I want to do every next fight better than last fight will power Prevail better be on the attack or strategic Savvy a punishing blow I do

Think I’m the best is fought and I think I’ll be the first to beat them

  1. Tough task at hand -gvozdyk and yard did very well but eventually the pressure wears you down and can no longer take the punches! Anyone to beat him is going to have to be able to slow the pace and pressure to survive to end! Artur has been down has been hurt. Surviving to later rounds and trying to hurt artur in deep water there is a chance! Just haven’t seen anyone able to do it lol

  2. Can't see Smith doing much regardless of the fact the boxing media make out it'll be the best thing you've ever seen. Beterbiev is odds on and the best your going to get on smith is 3/1.

    Notwithstanding that – its the best weight division by a country mile.

  3. Callum Smith orang ini pernah di kalahkan Canelo,😂" tak ada lawan yg sepadan lagi kah buat artur?! Padahal penonton lebih ingin menyaksikan beterbiev vs bivol, yg sama sama kuat👊

  4. If smith cant land that counter and knock him out early he will get stopped i think hes more open than canelo for that counter smith has if he catches him on the chin he may be in trouble however can smith handle whats going to be coming at him its a big ask think hes lookjng for big paydays at this point

  5. It's a shame that he was so cagey in the canelo fight, it was as though he expected to lose when he could have done a lot better had he more confidence. Anything like that this time and Beterbiev wins by KO

  6. Beterbiev is a monster! BUT he’s a human and I think Smith will give him his hardest fight by far, the way beterbiev fights Smith will most definitely land that left hook!

  7. Am I the only one who thinks Smith has a chance 🤷🤣 smith is better at this weight and not killing himself..beterbiev is elite though so I know it won't be easy for smith

  8. Groves had shoulder surgery 6 weeks before that fight I think? A fully fit Groves would have beat him, maybe im bias as a massive groves fan.

  9. Its disappointing reading some of the comments on here about Callum Smith being iced by Beterbiev etc…Everyone is entitled to their opinions but I think people forget. Smith Proved at Super middle what a good fighter he is, and he had heavy hands at 168 now Hes moved up to 175 but seems to have more power and looks to me to be even more dangerous- especially with the left hook. He is facing a very dangerous fighter who does have a 100% ko record. But, Smith is no fool hes from a fighting family and has a brilliant corner who will have done their homework leaving no stone unturned. I feel that Beterbiev has been to the well too many times, none of his fights have been easy and at 38 years of age..the time is right &.Callum smith will be prepared, focused and will nail him when he gets the opportunity. oh and If Yarde can drop Beterbiev then Smith will put him to sleep no messing.
