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.
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?"
@@MR.MINIMALISTT In the first place , he's not my Beterbiev. I like all of the top fighters. I was just stating an opinion on who I think is the best. But, Beterbiev ducks nobody. We'll see a little later this year and then I think you'll eat those words you just typed.
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.
@@2stroketyson79 I want to tell two things about your comment : If you figure that Beterbiev gonna wait till his eyes pop-out with Bivol jab???? You dreaming in full tectonic-tetra-encolorust colors. Never forget: Artur Beterbiev is one of the most bright boxing machine / Second/ Artur is not Canelo......Have a good evening from Montréal.
Honestly I actually think that beterbiev is the better technical boxer as well as having crazy power. His footwork, ring traps, shot placement, shot variation, jab work, and everything else is on point.
Interesting how people can’t seem to give Artur his due. Much better boxer than he’s given credit for. Legitimately dismantled Joe in under two rounds and the guy is standing there saying Bivol was the tougher fight. Gimme a break. These guys can’t handle being broken by another boxer the way Beterbiev does it. Gvozdyk did the same thing. Been scared of Artur since junior days and pretends he wasn’t scared af during their fight and got wrecked. Keep saying Artur isn’t a ‘good boxer’ lol. Im a huge Bivol fan too btw. Him and Beterbiev might be my two favorite boxers.
Man you aint lying. Its similar to how Gervonta Davis said Ryan Garcia was his hardest fight when anyone with a brain knows thats nonsense, fighters often just want to stroke their own ego and not give credit where its due unfortunately. Its tough to say another man broke you down in two rounds and wrecked the shit out of you and was way stronger lol, that breaks these fighters pride
Bro you expressed my thoughts exactly. I saw an interview where Gvozdyk said Canelo would beat Beterbiev and that beterbiev is not that hard. Also Marcus Browne seems to cringe when beterbiev is mentioned. It's like Beterbiev hurts them physically and emotionally.
Unless you're in his head you cannot tell if he is lying or being truthful. 12 round fight with Bivol is tough too. That Bivol loss turned Canelo into an excuse maker.
Beterbiev stops Bivol!! I was completely sold on Bivol beating Beterbiev after the Canelo & Zurdo fights. But after his performance against Lyndon Arthur, I now feel his power isn’t enough to stop Beterbiev from coming forward, he’s vulnerable to the body & lacks the angles of attack that Beterbiev is a master of.
Ha! U casual fair weather, 14 year old; it was obvious Bivol carried Canela the distance; his team advised him to not ko him, off want of a rematch, were they would b able to call more shots, and demand far more money than the first fight.

Bivol vs Beterbiev. I dont think the promoters want them to fight because they make too much money on them fighting others. But Beterbiev is almost 40 now and it wouldnt be fair for them to wait 2 or 3 more years until he's over the hill.

Since being knocked down over & over by Beterbiev before it ended in just two rounds, Smiths been having trouble with his math. He went the distance with Bivol but thinks he was tougher in two with his back to the canvas against Beterbiev.
Smith had the wrong strategy with beterbiev, not that he'd win either way.... But went after the excellent inside fighter with aggression and beterbiev turned it on him! Now with smiths power, he should have made beterbiev pay everytime he came in. He probably would hurt him a few times and he would have still adapted and beat him, because smith isn't much of a boxer.....
Basically like asking Roberto Duran who would win between Hagler and Hearns. Styles make the fight and under the lights certain men perform brilliantly.
It's normal to perceive or what looked like from OUR point of view that it was a tougher fight with Artur, but people fail to factor in the mental state he was in at the time of both fights, it makes a difference, something we can all relate to.
The punch that Beterbiev hit Smith with that stopped the fight led to one of the most underrated chicken dances. Give Joe a break, he most likely doesn't remember leaving the ring that night.
You can't interview someone whose ego won't allow them to give an objective answer. No Joe, you weren't stronger. You got your a** beat. Can you be honest. Smh
Fellas did anybody just noticed Joe Smith Facial expression on the RHS and LHS ? He's looking like a half side paralysed person, these guys taking so much, enduring so much pain in order to feed thier families at the risk of losing thier own lives... man RESPECT!
Come on Joe Smith, you say Bivol was the toughest fight and you went the distance with him, Beterbiev took you out in 2 rounds. What you said made no sense at all.
He says Bivol was the tougher fight but Beterbiev is the one who knocked him down 3 times in the first 2 rounds and then finished him. So I wonder what his definition of "tougher" is
Why can't fighters who have fought two common opponents say which one they believe will win? This BS drives me nuts; they know damn well who they would pick to win!
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.
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 😂😂
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
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.
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
People gonna be confused when Bivol pulls out any easy 12 round decision like he did against Canelo. Beterbiev beats you with accumulative destruction....He will not be able to accumulate destruction against Bivol. When that plan fails he will be left with nothing but to box Bivol and we all know how that's gonna turn out. Bivol by decision. When Beterbiev realizes he is loosing every round, he may get desperate at which point he may get reckless and I wouldn't be surprised if Bivol knocks him down in the later rounds.
All the Boxing Criminals (commissions) are together in their decision to never let the B vs B bout take place. Would you if you were them want your 2 Biggest both Undefeated Cash Cow and Brand Representatives fight and lose that revenue & status? Not if you were all about those two things.
The question is, can Bivol score and stay away for the entirety of the fight? I tend to think Beterbiev will corner Bivol and knock him out at some point.
How could you have been the stronger guy when Artur was punching you through the dam ropes my guy. Artur hit you with a left and right uppercut then when he saw you doing the new chicken dance he layered a left hook with it to finish the 10 piece chicken nugget combo special. No it wasn’t behind the head it’s your ego an pride talking
Bivol was the tougher fight? Maybe because he went 12 rounds. It’s easier to be absolutely bulldozed in 4 mins, you don’t have to spend much energy fighting.
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....

Bivol is the better boxer, Beterbiev better puncher it's not all about power if you have the skills to pay the bills but it can go either way
@@ashleydavis7448 I think it go 12 rounds but I think Bivol going to be fighting for his life in that ring😭. Both fought Joe and Beterbiev did him worse. So I give slight edge to Beterbiev
I just watched highlights of Beterbiev smoking this guy in 2 rounds before this. What is he saying.
He’s still concussed..
The highlights might have been longer than the actual fight 😂😂😂😂
He still hasn't recovered
Same here 😂
Two very different fighters bivol Artur if it goes the distance bivol by decision if it doesn't go the distance between the ninth and twelfth Round Artur knocks him out were talking about the best of the best period and this fight should make both very rich for sure this fight will sell
Beterbiev knocked him down many times,he only lasted to two rounds... what a crazy joe is!!!!!
He probably doesn’t remember the fight due to Beterbiev’s EXTREME power
He said he didn't remember anything after the fight
Did he really say? Bivol was the thougher fight for me..😂😂😂😂😂
Bivol is the superior boxer I'm not surprised by his answer
GTFO Bivol superieur to Beterbiev😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@yasinhamza574 bro, boxing is not only about power. History has already prove it.
Bivol will schools Beterbiev like all his previous opponents.
@@andremaube5069 what are you saying Brother? That Beterbiev only has power and no skills? He is extremly skillfull as well, but twice as strong as Bivol..If you think that Arthur only has power your a clown🤡🤡🤡
@@andremaube5069- joe has the range bro. U think arthur doesnt have skills? Look back at the fight watch how bait with his movement. As soon as joe try to hit him, arthur close the distances and caught him for 3 times until the k.o. skills is not about head movement just like canelo being slick with his punches and head movement. Arthur is a direct with his intentions. Why would u need all of that if u can timing the movements and punches from your enemies. Many boxers like to make it entertaining and so skillful when they fight. While arthur is direct and make is simple. And he did made joe like an amateur.
Bivol went 12 rounds with Smith and Beterbiev smoked this dude in 2 rounds 😂
Styles make fights that doesn't matter still doesn't mean that bivol is isn't a better all round fighter than beterbiev. Bivol on decision
@@sanj5964 Bivol is getting KO'd.
@@devones9211 Bivol aint getting ko'd he's a technician most likely berterbiev will get caught just because he knocked out this geeza doesn't mean he's knocking out bivol hes a different level. Lets see when the fight happens
@@sanj5964let’s comeback here after the fight
@@sigitsatriomost definitely bro . I predicted dubois to beat AJ today by ko and got that right so yh let's come back here after the fight when is it happening ?
When they get hammered and embarrassed they always drop "I had a lot of problems leading up to the fight".
Beterbiev would've hit him at one point, and he was going to go. He could've had the perfect camp, be in the best shape ever. His chin would've been hit at some point and the problems before the fight wouldn't have changed his ability to withstand that power. Game over son
That's because you got to fight with bivol.Artur wasn't a fight.Fkn 2 round slaughter .And beterbiev didn't get outta 2nd gear.
Bivol vs Beterbiev. I dont think the promoters want them to fight because they make too much money on them fighting others. But Beterbiev is almost 40 now and it wouldnt be fair for them to wait 2 or 3 more years until he's over the hill.
hi!! Pundamilia !!.....How many " greats champions" waited for an opponent to be over the hill in age.I'm sure you know a few ones. But Artur is a tough wrecking ball and what's gonne happen when Bivol will face him ???( if he ever ). I'm gonna tell you: The same result ( I mean ko), I don't thing there a boxer presently who can beat Beterbiev. I thing they got scared to face him. .....Have a nice day Salut/ bye, from Montréal PS sorry for the text; I haven't speak or write English since 1984.
@@pierrebelanger8656 Bivol masterclass on beterviev
@@Narragorth He has lost some speed. His timing, power, and ring IQ are still there though. Yarde wouldnt have lasted 5 rounds with a 34 year old Beterbiev.
Dumbest thing to say is the one who knocked u out is easier fight than the one who u rocked couple of time and went to a distance
Because bivol has it all he said, not just power and accuracy but speed footwork etc.. .. Bivol got robbed big time .
@@droo3010 which fight did you watch the man was on the Blackfoot almost all the fight from round 3 onwards he didn't won a single round go be a judge then of you do better ur emotionally invested to bivol
Since being knocked down over & over by Beterbiev before it ended in just two rounds, Smiths been having trouble with his math. He went the distance with Bivol but thinks he was tougher in two with his back to the canvas against Beterbiev.
That’s crazy Bivol was tougher but Beterbiev steam rolled right over you in just a few rounds.guess those hits took a lil bit out the brain
Or Smith have no memories at all of the fight with Beterbiev...
Smith had the wrong strategy with beterbiev, not that he'd win either way.... But went after the excellent inside fighter with aggression and beterbiev turned it on him! Now with smiths power, he should have made beterbiev pay everytime he came in. He probably would hurt him a few times and he would have still adapted and beat him, because smith isn't much of a boxer.....
Bivol is better because beterviev put me to sleep😂😂✌️
Basically like asking Roberto Duran who would win between Hagler and Hearns. Styles make the fight and under the lights certain men perform brilliantly.
The fact this guy got taken out in 2 rds that is unheard of smith jr is one of the most durable 175rs i know that struck fear into that division
How come whenever a fighter is asked what his toughest fight was, it’s never the one where they got knocked out…it’s always the competitive one 😂
It's normal to perceive or what looked like from OUR point of view that it was a tougher fight with Artur, but people fail to factor in the mental state he was in at the time of both fights, it makes a difference, something we can all relate to.
The punch that Beterbiev hit Smith with that stopped the fight led to one of the most underrated chicken dances. Give Joe a break, he most likely doesn't remember leaving the ring that night.
Exactly, the reason why he said Bivol was tougher is because he had to struggle for 12 rounds while the Beterbiev fight was a Fever dream for Smith
You can't interview someone whose ego won't allow them to give an objective answer. No Joe, you weren't stronger. You got your a** beat. Can you be honest. Smh
I'm on underdog Bivol, because he's the more complete fighter would face by beterviev
Joe seems like a real nice and humble person. Although I am a Beterbiev Bivol fan I really want to see Joe knock the rest out
Fellas did anybody just noticed Joe Smith Facial expression on the RHS and LHS ? He's looking like a half side paralysed person, these guys taking so much, enduring so much pain in order to feed thier families at the risk of losing thier own lives... man RESPECT!
He felt stronger than Beterbiev?
C'mon you can do better than that. He destroyed you.
😂 true
Come on Joe Smith, you say Bivol was the toughest fight and you went the distance with him, Beterbiev took you out in 2 rounds. What you said made no sense at all.
Great interview - Joe is a cool guy - hope he retires soon - he's fought better opposition than most would ever dream of and can hold his head high.
I love when fighters rattle off 3-4 excuses and then say "no excuses" lol
Old timer Artur doing cash-out fight.. he will never get close enough to Bivol 🤔😎
One is a knockout artist the other is a calculated punching machine
Everybody knows the answer if you look at the results of the both fights
No. Boxing is not just about power and knock-out.
how will bivol keep artur away with pillow hand? @@andremaube5069
That’s not necessarily the case, plenty of guys with alot of kos have lost to pure boxers.
That’s the thing Beterbiev is a great boxer and destroyed smith while smith went to distance with pillow fisted Bivol and hurt him
0:50 he actually did get hit behind the ear , I’m not saying that he would of won but beterbiev does hit towards the back side of the head
Stop putting your head down and the punch won’t land there
Beterbiev has played with him like a toys.
And you said Bivol was a toff fight.
HAHAHA it's hilarious.
His right eye doesn’t blink when he left one does.
I think boxers say that because it reflects better on themselves.
Joe Smith is like a beast on the ring but is very humble person. Contz with your baby.
I like how he says bivol was the tougher fight while he lost to beterbiev in almost two rounds!
I think It is like hit and run vs hammer.
Joe felt he was stronger than Beterbiev 😂 ( for the first 30 seconds !)
If let me make an excuse and say no excuses was a person
how did joe think bivol was the harder fight? he didn’t even have a fight with artur. literally got dominated for 1 round and then KO’d.
He says Bivol was the tougher fight but Beterbiev is the one who knocked him down 3 times in the first 2 rounds and then finished him. So I wonder what his definition of "tougher" is
He used so many excuses for his defeat and ended his speech by saying (no excuses) i dont want to use any excuse ! 😂😂😂😊
Typical respectful response from an active fighter…he didn’t pick either guy.
How on Gods green earth does Bivol keep his distance for 12 whole horrifying mananimal Beterbiev rounds.Anyone ...anyone...thought not.😂
I’m going to make a lot of money out of Smiths prediction. He gives a 100% prediction. Thank you.
I'm going with 100% KO ratio.
He forgot the power of beterbiev. He can't remember anything. 😅😅😅
Bivol is the better all rounder and beterbiev is just a 1-5 combo puncher but mostly accurate, bivol punches and doesn’t stop
Why can't fighters who have fought two common opponents say which one they believe will win?
This BS drives me nuts; they know damn well who they would pick to win!
Bivol is an amazing boxer
Bivol everyday and every time
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
Bivol’s got this! Go Bivol. 🥊
💯

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.

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 😂😂
Bivol just too good..supreme!...
Artur, also fab fighter.
No question.
Only way to beat Beterbiev is with a gun😂
The only way is if he Moves up to heavyweight and fights Usyk
@@TheShowOff2IBeterbiev already beat usyk twice at lower weight
Both are smart and amazing fighters but am going with Biviol for the win
Hes got a big ego, you lost against them both, beterbieve made easy work of you
This is a 50/50 fight. Its gonna be eithers toughest fight to date
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
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.
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
I'd like to see him fight Benavidez.
A lot of BeterBiever fans will cry after this
Haha yup.
Bertibiev - “ I’m going for all the belts at 168”
Canelo - vacated and disappears.
People gonna be confused when Bivol pulls out any easy 12 round decision like he did against Canelo. Beterbiev beats you with accumulative destruction....He will not be able to accumulate destruction against Bivol. When that plan fails he will be left with nothing but to box Bivol and we all know how that's gonna turn out. Bivol by decision. When Beterbiev realizes he is
loosing every round, he may get desperate at which point he may get reckless and I wouldn't be surprised if Bivol knocks him down in the later rounds.
I mean I kind of agree but Beterbiev is way bigger than Canelo and way stronger. So I think it will be tough for Bivol. I still root for Bivol though.
if you want a masterclass performance watch bivol, but if you want brutality, watch beterbiev. glad we’ll see both💪🔥
Good dude a real one ☝️ ❤
All the Boxing Criminals (commissions) are together in their decision to never let the B vs B bout take place. Would you if you were them want your 2 Biggest both Undefeated Cash Cow and Brand Representatives fight and lose that revenue & status? Not if you were all about those two things.
The question is, can Bivol score and stay away for the entirety of the fight? I tend to think Beterbiev will corner Bivol and knock him out at some point.
Ren like Small Baby 😂😂😂😂After beterbiev punch
How could you have been the stronger guy when Artur was punching you through the dam ropes my guy. Artur hit you with a left and right uppercut then when he saw you doing the new chicken dance he layered a left hook with it to finish the 10 piece chicken nugget combo special. No it wasn’t behind the head it’s your ego an pride talking
Beterbiev has to knock him out and i think he will. Two amazing fighters.
Bivol was the tougher fight? Maybe because he went 12 rounds. It’s easier to be absolutely bulldozed in 4 mins, you don’t have to spend much energy fighting.
there both made from iron ? lets leave it at that?
Needless to say…. But fight commentary is not in Joe’s future.
Beterbiev destroys the world of the boxing purist type fan. The matador does not always beat the bull. Beterbiev proves that.
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....
Brawlers beat down your body, boxers beat your soul😂
Smith says he got caught with one punch? He got caught all through all the 12 rounds constantly.
