Nice! Finally going to happen. Will be some serious firepower getting lobbed in both directions. Smith can be outboxed (Barrera, Bivol, Vlasov) but that's not what he will face in Beterbiev. It's a matter who can get their bombs on target and who can survive when they land.
This will be the first time in Beterbiev's pro career where a guy won't come to try to outbox him, I'm sure Smith is gonna come in here and try to get the KO, Smith Jr stamina is crazy and he is 32.
I'm almost sure that the Smith plan will be to come throwing bombs non stop int he first rounds as Beterbiev is a slow starter, if Beterbiev can't take Smith's power it's gonna be a fun ass fight, if Beterbiev can survive the early storm he will stop Smith.
