Joe Smith Jr: "Bivol is better because unlike Beterbiev he did not beat the $hit out of me, destroyed or humiliated me. I liked how Bivol was so kind and gentle, no one was really hurt, we could box until morning. It was like a glorified sparring session, we were never mean against each other. On the other hand Beterbiev is inhuman. He still haunts me in my worst nightmares. There is no reason to like Beterbiev. Do you know what I mean?"

[@AzaharSpain]

Sour grapes on Beterbiev

[@RustyLongPipe]

A lot of boxers do this, not sure why. Hatton always says Mayweather was a harder opponent for him than Pacquiao, despite being absolutely obliterated by Pac. I think they say that the guy they were more competitive with is better, in an attempt to leave an under-sense that they weren’t 100% when they were destroyed with apparent ease by the other opponent. That’s what I think anyway. I expect Beterbiev to win in a clear fashion vs Bivol.

[@ziikobon642]

Though Bivol doesn’t have Betterbiev's punch power, he has hand speed and great footwork. Never underestimate that. Both highly skilled fighters.

[@romanpaintpros]

That's it exactly. Bivol is an arm thrower.

[@jjstratford]

And great combinations, distance management, and fights very long.

[@robertlangdon494]

You are misinformed if you think beterbiev has lesser footwork. Bivol's style of bouncing in and out makes it look like he's the more mobile type. But beterbiev is constantly moving himself when his opponent is backing off and always puts himself in the correct distance for maximum short punch power delivery. Constantly.

Needless to say…. But fight commentary is not in Joe’s future.

[@MaxMax-th7uz]

Joe felt he was stronger than Beterbiev 😂 ( for the first 30 seconds !)

[@agyemanasiedu6852]

Bivol is an amazing boxer Bivol everyday and every time

[@valdye99]

There’s a good chance that Bivol will overwhelm Beterbiev with activity. Casual fans think better Beterbiev’s Power will save him, but the problem with that is that he needs to set in order to punch and can exploit this by getting in and out, not allowing him to set up his punches. I think it’s a pickem fight, But if it goes the distance, I go with Bivol all the way. He better catch the all early or it’s gonna be a long night.

[@RussCR5187]

Agreed. Canelo was skilled and with a big punch. No problem; just a little arm bruising.

[@ashleydavis7448]

If let me make an excuse and say no excuses was a person

[@morpheusky]

Beterbiev vs Bivol is 50-50 both fighters are dangerous. But in conferences yesterday Bivol look nervous, i think Beterbiev will rock Bivol like Sculptors do 😂😂

[@positiveandfunny4332]

Ren like Small Baby 😂😂😂😂After beterbiev punch

[@malcolmbooth5656]

Bivol win win win points victory hes the best boxer out there , this fight is like ali vs foreman

[@koyosu]

I don't think you remember the fight ... at the end of R1 you've been kd... afterwards R2 ..two times more ..and timber. You've been lucky enough to not go through the 12 rounds punishment....

[@jjstratford]

His right eye doesn’t blink when he left one does.

[@ChrisGerhard66]

I think Bivol wins, he is younger and the better boxer. Bivol didn't destroy Smith but beat him soundly, Smith won one round. Beterbiev can be hit, and I expect Bivol will hit him often.

[@MarCell-b8z]

Good dude a real one ☝️ ❤

[@REALDEALMMA91]

He felt stronger than Beterbiev ??? I like Smith but thats a delusional statement lol

[@harrychanamuna2283]

Both are smart and amazing fighters but am going with Biviol for the win

[@adriandoc75]

Beterbiev has to knock him out and i think he will. Two amazing fighters.

[@Lovetoliveinpeace]

I think It is like hit and run vs hammer.

[@DC-wp6oj]

Hmmm Bivol made me look better as a boxer and Beterbiev destroyed me. I really can’t choose between the 2 ever since Beterbiev rattled my brain.

[@edhakim1059]

These are both great fighters but with very different talents. Personally, I think Bivol is the better boxer and has a better inate ability to handle exchanges, but the issue will be... does he have the power to cause Beterbiev to slow down his typical approach of relentless inevitable assault.... I don't think so, but I do think Beterbiev has an important flaw in his style and that is that he needs to reset after exchanges or attempted exchanges....this is where he will be very vulnerable to Bivol....Bivol has a very high fighting IQ and always attacks in the in-between flows of a fight....and since Bivol is a great defensive fighter he will get many of these opportunities. Beterbiev has never fought someone of Bivo'ls ability....they both have no fear.... but for different reasons....Beterbiev has just walked through everyone without a real test....but Bivol fights' knowing' he is the better fighter...he has been tested ... It will be a great fight... btw... I've fight fan for over 60 years.

[@mambaman9363]

I’m going to make a lot of money out of Smiths prediction. He gives a 100% prediction. Thank you.

[@honeyfarmer0]

Joe Smith is like a beast on the ring but is very humble person. Contz with your baby.

[@KennethGerecke-k8w]

Beterbieb is fairly easy to hit, Bivol is NOT 😁🤣

[@DemahClimb]

Checkmate.

[@themjpaul]

WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol will remain on the June 1st card to fight a replacement opponent after his fight against IBF/WBC/WBO 175-lb champ Artur Beterbiev suffered a ruptured meniscus knee injury and will be out of action while recovering. Source: Bivol To Fight Replacement Opponent On June 1st After Beterbiev Injury.

[@mitch20003]

Tougher fight ahainst bvol? Lmao artur beat you in two rounds. He is embarrassed

[@cedhabs20]

The truth is that Beterbiev is getting hit far too often to be fighting in the heavyweight, but I see him at Cruiserweight, maybe for the Bruiserweight

[@johngalbraith1591]

Both great fighters , roy jones said its not a 50/50 fight which is what people are saying it could be , it really could go either way , roy jones said 60/ 40 in favour of bivol , in his opinion because of the fact the mans never tasted the canvas in his pro career which lets face it is unbelievable

[@bladerunner16]

I think boxers say that because it reflects better on themselves.

[@richardcollins2622]

Typical respectful response from an active fighter…he didn’t pick either guy.

[@bradmodd7856]

Funny he was about to give his answer and spill the beans on who he favors but the interviewer wouldn't shut up and let him talk

[@JamesBond-jd8xo]

Joe smith, got ko by Beterbiev, bivol went to distance with smith, and was hurt by smith.

[@daisypodd]

Bivol just too good..supreme!... Artur, also fab fighter. No question.

[@BB-gu9kx]

Beterbiev is the best power puncher that's all I can give him over bivol.

[@skip1961]

On bivol last performance he has no chance 💯 🥊🥊💥💥

[@husainaboobaker9615]

Joe Smith Jr Rocked bivol to the point he wobbled but his lucky the bell saved him and he lost by decision beterbiev finished him in 2 rounds
