Cableaddict Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) Holy fucktoads, what an exciting fight !!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait, though I wish it weren't happening. But I think Artur is too fast for Smith. I really kinda' hate this fight because I'd love to see Smith get back on track, after a loss that wasn't his fault. He's an excellent, interesting addition to the division, but this fight could seriously derail his career. Begs the question: WTF is Smith's management team THINKING? :noidea: Edited October 16, 2018 by Cableaddict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Re: Joe Smith to face Beterbiev in December !!!! --- I Can't even see this as a cash out fight since Arthr ain't any sort of big name. But I suppose they saw him go down hard in his last fight and figure now or never. In a battle of sluggers, the wiseman sayeth pick the best chin and not the china...we shall see...

repsac Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Re: Joe Smith to face Beterbiev in December !!!! Heard it might be slotted into the Canelo vs Fielding undercard. I'll be in the building for that. My next 2 months is stacked with fight cards i'm attending. Glorious time to be a boxing fan. If Callum Johnson can drop Beterbiev, Smith might be able to do it as well. Now, is he willing to engage in a fire fight? Thats the question.

What te hell do you do and how do you get to so many fights around the US?? :haha: Pascal steps in to face Bivol in Atlantic City on November 24th. Smith was the original opponent. Smith is too generic a surname. Did you mean the same Smith as the thread title? :noidea: :haha: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now i go to hip hop concerts and fights. It helps that a lot of fights take place in NYC, CT, etc. I try to make it out to the west coast 2 times a year. I'm not a Vegas guy, so mostly Cali or Texas. My schedule for the next 2.5 months are.. Oct 20th Boston for the DAZN / Andrade card. Oct 27th MSG for the Jacobs fight Nov 3rd UFC at MSG Nov 17th Clarissa Shields fight in AC (if that still happens) Nov 24 Bivol vs 'Joe' Smith Dec 8th Loma vs Pedraza at MSG small room Dec 22nd Canelo vs Fielding I believe there's a card on the 15th or 16th as well. :boxing::boxing::boxing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonRingRules Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Re: Joe Smith to face Beterbiev in December !!!! --- Smith busted his jaw early for the 2nd time of his career, but this he gritted it out. When he was hottest after knocking Popkins out of the ring, no champ wanted to know him. Now that he has a com that could be busted, he finally gets a title shot.

Are you actually being serious? Let me think - What happened in that fight, in the second round, that might have affected the outcome? It's on the tip of my tongue.... oh if only I could remember !

BoztheMadman Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Re: Joe Smith to face Beterbiev in December !!!! I'd say Beter is probably the better boxer of the two, let me add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see the fight, so enlighten me! I have looked at some very brief highlights that I could find online and read some articles on the fight and none of them show or mention any significant event in the second round that you could be alluding to? Was it the trainers fault again? :haha: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have looked at some very brief highlights that I could find online and read some articles on the fight and none of them show or mention any significant event in the second round that you could be alluding to? ..... Smith's jaw was broken in round 2. The fact that he actually continued to the final bell, and even won some of those rounds against a very serious opponent, tells you all you need to know about Joe Smith Jr. https://www.badlefthook.com/2017/7/18/15988948/joe-smith-jr-to-undergo-surgery-for-broken-jaw ------------- Odd that so many articles glossed right over it, but I checked a few myself & you're right.

So ......... you are forgiven, my son! :thumb: But how was it not his fault?? He allowed someone to punch him in the face to get his jaw broken, so it was his fault and his alone :haha: The articles I read said that Barerra cruised to victory, but you know, it's all subjective so maybe Smith did win some rounds here and there.
