That left uppercut left hook knockout for Bruce Carrington was one of the cleanest finishes I've ever seen. Big fan of that man he's going places.

I am grateful to be able to watch Naoya Inoue's match in real time! Defeating the champions of the four major teams one by one to win the championship belt and become the unified champion is just like being the main character in a manga or anime! A true champion!

[@andreabrembilla6466]

The way people react while being hit by Beterbiev reminds me of Foreman: punches don't seem fully charged, they're not wildly swinged, but people are sent into oblivion with their heads rolling. I hope for a unification with Bivol soon.

[@markmolloy8647]

Great boxing coaches know that punches come from the legs, not the arms. An arm punch has no weight to it. AB is using his entire bodyweight with his punches. Its all about timing - he times it so that he is moving slightly forward with his whole bodyweight just as Smith is moving INTO the punch - the rest is physics: you need to MULTIPLY the weight of two objects that collide into each other to calculate the weight of impact. The end result is that it doesn't feel walking into a wall, it feels like you are running into a wall, a well that is running towards you.

[@Sillysoft]

3:23 Was that the first fight that ref has ever done? Late to stopping the beating, the guy was out leaning back on the ropes and the ref just lets the guy wail on him, then the boxer is face down on the mat and the ref cant find the side ref for the current count lol

[@alsantoshsantana8803]

You missed a big one, man. Check out Caleb Plant's brutal KO of Anthony Dirrell, with one bad left hook that came in a flash. Officially, it's a knockout of year nominee from oct 2022.

[@markmolloy8647]

can we all just say - well done ref for stopping that first fight with Beterbiev / Smith - perfect stoppage. Some refs would have let it go a bit longer, since he Smith was still standing, but as soon as he stopped it you could see that Smith had no idea where he was, he was just able to stand (barely) on instinct alone. Have a look at Smith at the 0:43 mark - they are having to explain to him that the fight is over, he's not really with it at this point. Had that fight gone on, it would have been a serious concussion for Smith. Great stoppage, in the nick of time.

Anderson v Forrest; the final blow was a behind the head shot. as was the final (ish) blow in the earlier Beterbiev ko. This happens all the time, but people were all over Bud Crawford for this against Spence Jr. It's unavoidable.

[@shm6012]

it's mysterious to see many powerful opponents collapsed under the seemingly not-fast punches of Beterviev, who throws shots one by one.. not in a showy combination of multiple kinds of punches..

[@markmolloy8647]

commentator being a bit hard on Smith when he says 'he panicked, gameplan went out the window' - Smith got caught by one of the greatest punchers of all time, who is also btw a total chess master in the ring. Smith is a brilliant boxer - top level. He did nothing wrong, just was in a bout with another brilliant boxer who is at the peak of the game. No shortfall by Smith at all.

[@koplak9809]

Beterbiev is heavier version of GGG both got hand of stone

[@niallcnoc9646]

My top 4 1st: 23:23 KO of the year for me. Remember seeing it live and calling it ko of the year. A thing of beauty. 2nd: 5:06 A solar plexu ko is rare as most body shot KOs are probably liver shots. 3rd: 10:13 From Brownsville NY this guy must be Mike’s kid. That was a clinical finish. 4th: 7:36 beautiful short overhand right timed perfectly . 🥊🥊

[@jeremylamovsky3669]

I did NOT like the Beterbiev fight for Joe Smith Jr. He's a very good fighter and really improved, but Beterbiev is something else. One of those guys who's got rocks for hands and has deceptive skill because he's not a flashy fighter. No energy wasted either. Need to see the Bivol fight but I'm worried about Bivol. I felt like if Canelo were able to beat him the buck would stop at Artur

@Lucie Don't feel bad! A lot of us boxing fans thought Joe Smith had a chance based upon his other performances and hadn't taken into account Beterbiev's boxing and concussive punching. Joe Smith had had great punch resistance but this was just too much for him.

[@LucieOne]

@@shughl1 I thought Artur was getting up there in age, Joe was 3-4 years younger and in his prime and I've seen Beterbiev hurt and dropped a couple of times and Smith could punch and he was a good athlete.... not 10 second into the fight I realized the error of my ways.
