"Beterbiev Isn't Human!" Eddie Hearn Reacts To KO Win vs Callum Smith

[@boxingnews__]

Who wins in a Beterbiev-Bivol undisputed bout? 🤔👇

[@justinshadrach829]

Since 2019 Beterviev has only stopped one before the seventh (flatfooted Joe Smith) on that Bivol has better hand speed and footwork than any Beterviev has thought. So defo think Bivol on points! (Although possible late stoppage)

[@HowardHughes33]

Bivol is a great fighter but Beterbiev KO's him around rd 9-10. Bivol will not be able to outpoint Beterbiev.

Respect for Callum Smith but he has to change something drastically for him to compete with the top fighters.

Got up early for this one. I thought that Beterbiev at almost 39 could have an off night. These happen as you get older. He looked very motivated and fit. Footspeed was still good. Suppose the old eastern block system of hundreds of amateur fights and few pro fights, plus his dedication means he still looks very fresh.

[@beejj6190]

Trust me, theye NEVER have the multiple - hundreds of amateur fights they make out. If you honestly think they wouldn't be worn out by their mid - late twenties you're naive. e.g. Do the maths on Lomachenkos caree stats (including his years off to 'Ukraine dance', ROFL!! ) and give yourself a wake up ( and a laugh : )
