@@jasonphillip1966 I’m a huge Beterbiev fan, the only video on my channel is him destroying everybody, BUT the main issue is the follow up confirmatory test’s weren’t conducted to determine if the testosterone levels were from endogenous or exogenous consumption. YES the test were negative, but the confirmatory tests were not conducted, so the test results were not conclusive enough to exonerate him. “Atypical” means higher than normal?

Beterbiev isnt getting better with age. he's been a top quality fighter for years. he's just maintained his level. he's beaten top opposition his entire career. To say he's getting stronger with a view to put doubts in everyones mind about him being a drug cheat is just lower than low from Tony
Beterbiev is just pure class. All athletes are going on much longer than in previous years, it doesn't necessarily mean they're all taking PEDs. There's no way anyone can determine Beterbiev is actually getting stronger, just better.

Canelo gave C. Smith short notice for that fight, approximately five weeks to gain an advantage but Smith still took the fight. Smith also injured his arm very early in the fight.
He's average. Canelo who looked like a little kid boxed rings around him and then the excuses came out. He's been a decent fighter but we don't half overhype our champions
Beterbiev hasn’t just now all of a sudden started bludgeoning opponents this is his whole thing and what he’s done since he turned pro, Callum in my opinion was just overrated and simply not good enough to compete with someone like Beterbiev.
@badgasaurus4211 big difference, canelroids is a steroid user a peak prime boxer, and smith had a damaged arm during that fight. Here smith was perfectly healthy prime boxer going into this fight, vs a past prime boxer( who is not on steroids!). Completely different from the canelroids
@@nightcbs it was canelo who caused the damage to his arm by consistently throwing to the body, you can’t use that as an excuse if the opponent is the one causing the damage lol.
For me Smith looked slow and the 18 months out showed. He looked lumbering at times. His feet were terrible and he just looked a step behind. Inactivity makes a big difference. All that said, he was never going to beat Beterbiev
He always looked slow and had bad footwork. Only looked good beating on cab drivers. Overrated brit, wich is nothing new. Not a bad boxer but nothing like the world beater brits tought he was. Canelo showed it. Beterbiev confirmed it. Even Ryder beat that dude if we honest. Levels to this.
“Is joe smith jr the puncher Callum smith is” yes…. Yes he is. In fact, joe smith jr is one of the hardest hitters at light heavyweight he even hurt bivol. Callum smith has proven nothing at light heavyweight. Best win a one armed totally shot groves and rocky fielding
Totally the point I picked up on too. If Simon really knew boxing he'd know Joe Smith Jnr can bang and is a danger to anyone at that weight. Beterbiev caught him in the side of the head with what seems to be his speciality punch, the counter over the top of a jab. From then on Joe wasn't the same..until finally being stopped. Beterbiev reminds me of a prime GGG.
Bellew is insinuating he's cheating, whilst trying to say he's not taking away from him or calling him a cheat, you are, in a weaselly way, he didn't pop for a foreign substance in his body, he had raised levels, that can be caused by doing heavy squats if you don't usually do them, that's why the subsequent two tests came back with nothing
Beterbiev has been doing this to people since the amateur days, it's not likes he's gone from a bang average puncher to one punch KO artist like Benn did. The reality that Bellew can't accept is that Smith isn't as good as he thinks he is. Yarde gave Artur a tough fight by beating him to the punch using his speed, that's simply why Artur looked better in this fight - easier style to deal with
Smith has been to inactivate . Smith’s best win is against a one armed Groves. Everyone who’s ever seen Berbitev knows he got heavy hands. He always has have had , all the experts say you’re power is the last thing to go. The man is devoted to his religion & sport , give him credit ffs
@bladerunner16 because he's a PR guy for Matchroom that's why. Bellew has always been a hypocrite he hates ped users but defends his buddies who have actually failed tests like Benn ! That says it all about him.
What is your point about him going home to he’s wife and kids, that’s how most married men with kids go, With benn he has been proven to be completely guilty yet
I know AJ his a tall lean guy that trains his not as muscular as u think for a black guy that’s natural but for white guy to look like him then it’s different story
Joe Smith Jr also had never been dropped or stopped in the amateurs or as a professional before fighting Beterbiev. Also Joe Smith hits a lot harder than Callum.
I thought that when Tony asked the question who's better as if it's obvious that callum is better than Joe. In reality Joe Smith has achieved way more than Callum at light heavy.
Tony is quick to jump at conclusions about someone else’s potentially adverse findings. But when its one of his own favourites he’ll come up with every excuse to brush it away
Beterbiev not only has an iron chin he also has a body made of hard leather. He was fast , bounced about the place and could punch without needing to be efficient against his opponent. It's very unusual.
GGG had a good chin and still carried strength but no one said it was unusual. One atypical finding and everyone’s now saying beterbievs similar attributes are unusual or suspect. Let’s look at the facts. He’s had a lot of amateur fights and is well schooled and disciplined. Doesn’t go up in weight between fights, doesn’t drink, eats well and trains hard. Couple that with good genetics and a solid amateur pedigree and he’s going to be levels about most of his competitors. He’s a special fighter, they do come around he’s just not had the clout like others. Anyone with a training background knows that Olympic lifting/strength training promotes testosterone and HGH, dense muscle fibre/bone density which shows why he’s so heavy handed and if you watch the few training videos beterbiev squats deadlifts and benches and is strong for his weight. Not impossible numbers either but he’s stronger than most light heavyweights by a lot. The test concluded he had higher than normal levels of test and HGH, but not enough to fail a test, and was later concluded they were not taken externally. The body naturally produces these hormones and it’s not super human to have high levels. Super human is failed levels. Callum smith was out the wrong for 17 months and also got outboxed. Beterbiev has looked the same in all his fights, I wouldn’t say he looked any stronger than previous fights but he boxed better, and made it look easy. He was a heavy favourite before the fight so don’t know why there’s surprises there. Lastly, VADA don’t call fighters and say we are going to test you on 3rd February 2023, they are completely randomised so are we now saying he’s been lucky to avoid failing a drug test for 18 plus years when he’s been a wrecking ball in all his pro fights? And before we start the whole “yeah but he was lucky because he was obviously coming off a cycle” again, it’s not like he knows when he’s going to get tested and if he was on stuff no doubt he would have already had previous controversy which he hasn’t. He fights the same in all fights so why are we all now saying it’s unusual. Unfortunately smith isn’t on beterbievs level and it’s sad that someone who is more disciples than most boxers has dedicated his life to boxing is now getting called out because of an atypical finding.
Beterbievs strength with age, is probably to do with his devote Muslim lifestyle. The guy doesn’t drink, smoke or party or anything. All he does is eat well, sleep and train, he’s an absolute beast.
Explain Islam Makhachev, and Umar Nurmagomedov testing positive for banned substances? Or Ruslan Magomedov getting a lifetime ban for banned substances? He was a religious and pious Muslim too. You really believe there’s nothing suspect with those test?
@@SuperwavyMaybe something to do with ethnicity or the foods that ethnicity eat. Do some trials on chechen population, test their levels, check whether the traditional foods they eat raise HGH and testosterone. Check whether fasting raises levels…etc
Or maybe because Beterbiev is a God fearing man so he lives by a clean lifestyle, stays disciplined, not out getting drunk, when you take care of yourself you last longer, you become stronger, you hold on to your physical prime longer..Beterbiev is as disciplined as they come, it's like people have forgotten about hard work and discipline, you're only as old as how you manage your time. Beterbiev invests all his time in the gym..course he's going to get better he lives the right life.
Explain Islam Makhachev, and Umar Nurmagomedov testing positive for banned substances? Or Ruslan Magomedov getting a lifetime ban for banned substances? He was a religious and pious Muslim too. They all train with Beterbiev, I’m not buying that.
With all due respect, Tony can’t compare himself to beterbiev because their lifestyles are completely different. High testosterone levels in arthur shouldn’t be a shock to people.
I know Tony is as biased as they come towards English fighters and is a fellow Scouser but what is Simon's excuse for picking Callum to beat Artur? He has worse judgement than Haye when it comes to boxing outcomes.
Simon only likes boxing because he thinks it adds to his character as a man of varying tastes, from fine wine to the savagery that is boxing but he doesn't understand it. He doesn't like mma though because that's too much, more because he also doesn't understand it and in reality it's real fighting!
Callum Smith was just being overhyped prior to this fight because of his win over George Grooves. Watching the fight against Canelo Alvarez confirmed that there are levels in elite fighters and certainly Callum is just not able to compete and win against the best… Callum performance on Saturday night was the best he could achieve but again it’s just wasn’t on the level of Artur Beterbiev… from round 2 you could see that there’s only going to be one outcome and that Callum was not going the distance…
He should have the same energy when Billy Joe or Connor Benn actually tested POSITIVE - a full ILLEGAL test in the past unlike this test which was PERFECTLY LEGAL. Also how can this guy even objectively say Berterbiev is getting stronger with age? Does he have evidence of this? Artur has 20 fights 20 KOs he’s been like this his entire pro career. As they always say, punch power is always the last thing to go… Tony should use his words more carefully before beterbiev legal team comes after all that money he has saved for his wife and kids 😂😂😂
Tony needs to stop comparing himself to Beterbiev. Beterbiev doesn't drink nor does he eat pork and never let's himself blow up in between fights. Not to mention also that Arthur is a Russian Chechen that grew up in a war era....Mind, body and soul Beterbiev is levels ahead of Bellew and many others in the sport of boxing.
Explain Islam Makhachev, and Umar Nurmagomedov testing positive for banned substances? Or Ruslan Magomedov getting a lifetime ban for banned substances? He was a religious and pious Muslim too.
Callum is not as good as Beterbeiv but Callum not fighting for 18 months did not help at all. Not fighting for less than half that time would be considered retired in the 1930s, yet is standard today. Look at Parker fighting 4 times in a year and beating Wilder with ease, being active is so important and has dropped dramatically in recent years.
Agree 90% of modern boxers have pathetic inactivity these days. What's shocking is it is getting worse as now kids in their mid 20s are having 2 fights a year! Like Shakur, Ryan Garcia, Teofimo etc. These youngsters should be having 4 fights a year minimum in their 20s
@@michaellandon8901 exactly I can't imagine what it will be like in a decade from now if we continue on this path and people will still claim modern boxers are the best
It was Berterbievs accuracy that impressed me. When did Callums clean left hooks land? His best work was to the body which Buddy kept on telling him to go to.
Smith looked fragile.He should have fought someone more resilient at the new weight that would give him a good test first,an opponent like Yarde.Smith looked at times as bad as he was against Canelo.He`s big enough to go up to cruiserweight,he should try that.
The guy got exposed as a weight cut bully. Easy to punch hard against your opponents when you have 3 inches and 15 pounds on them, the minute he got in the ring with someone of the level of Canelo or Beterbiev, he could not get away with that strategy anymore.
I agree with most here . Beterbiev was a class above Callum . His pressure was immense . The way he moves an opponent back to the ropes and then smashes them us awe inspiring . His short powerful punches I’ve never seen in another boxer . He looks like he is made of oak . I wanted smith to do well but had to admire the destructiveness of Beterbievs boxing . Impressive
Zhilei Zhang will be 41 in May and looks to be another one who has got better with age. What seems to be on the decline is his endurance over 10 .rounds or more. This may affect Bieterbiev too if someone as good as Bivol can weather the first half of the fight storm and take him into the later rounds. Physically Bieterbiev did not look to me to have enhanced muscle mass for the fight against Smith - he looked much the same as always despite the reported elevated testosterone. I reckon he is just something of a freak of nature to be able to fight the way that he does at the age he is. But, if the fight lasts that long and Bivol is still competing, rounds 11 and 12 of their fight will be interesting!!
Bellew talks out of his backside. Joe smith jnr has got knockout power. Gvozdyk put adonis in a coma and beterbiev stopped him. Bellew needs to get his tongue out of Callum Smith's backside
Bellew claims Callum’s body fat is around 6%, which makes him more ripped than Bruce Lee. I think we can all agree that Tony is talking out of his hoop, and not for the first time.
He's not getting stronger... Smith's a career super middleweight, who hasn't fought in over a year and has moved up to fight the biggest puncher in the sport... The outcome was inevitable... Reality is Yarde would beat Smith.
Callum Smith, a fairly average fighter anyway, has had about 20 mins of action against relative nobodies at LHW, so of course someone elite with a 100% KO ratio is going to make it look easy. Where was the same energy for Benn? I think we all know.
A truly embarrassing interview from Bellew. The hypocrisy aside, lets look at his reasoning. Smith's never been dropped, ok but he's been beaten up by a smaller man in Canelo. "He took Callum's best shots". Well yeah he's taken shots of heavyweights in his amateur days. "He's getting stronger and stronger". No, his career has shown he walks through fighters. The likes of Yarde and Johnson are a rarity. Smith is a front runner, he was bullied by Ryder and Canelo. He doesn't control distance for a tall man as he likes to punch in mid to short range. He leans over his front foot, and loads on counters. Beterbiev just found him a very slow, large target unlike Yarde who offered movement from the waist and feet and had the speed and reactions to counter for periods of the fight. Making statements to put a mans name in the mud, this is whilst he sported gyno throughout career and defending those who've tested positive.
And I suppose Artur has been on PED's since the amateurs when he dropped Usyk? Bellew is the Malignaggi of the heavier weights. "If I'm not as good as him that means he's on the juice!" Bunch of jealous clowns.
Smith is a frontrunner. He will look good if his typical style works but once it doesn't, he's in trouble. He doesn't have a second gear and in general is kinda a 1 trick pony (good trick tho). Another big issue in general is that he's not a good outside boxer (despite his height and reach advantage vs everyone else) and you can't fight Beterbiev on the inside. He literally lets guys close to him and fight them at close-mid range.
Bellwether is a politician. Artur fasts to improve his human growth hormone and doesn't drink or party! So of course he's getting better because he looks after his body!
tony i just want to be left alone bellew, is on every reality show going,interviews galore, and presenting the boxing, calls beterbiev a drug cheat but his old chum conor benn not a scooby
Bivol isn't as heavy handed as Beterbiev but he is certainly as skilled if not even more skilled than him. Usually the boxer beats the fighter at the top level but i think its a genuine 50/50 fight! Bivol with definitely land on Beterbiev so it's all about if he hits hard enough to deter him. If he can't it will be a long night for Bivol! 🥊
It’s just not true that ‘Callum is a devastating puncher’… he wasn’t at super middle, all his big knockouts have happened at far lower levels/standard then world level, most world level fighters get those sort of ko’s at those levels… punchers get ko’s at any level, not saying he’s not a good fighter but to say he’s ‘devastating’ and ‘I can’t believe he couldn’t put a dent in beterbiev’, I saw Callum get bullied at times during Ryder fight (at one point a middleweight)
Embarrassing sour grapes from Tony bellew. Beterbiev has never failed a drug test. Atypical tests happen all the time. You can get natural rises in testosterone from an intense workout. Beterbiev isn't "getting stronger or better." He has been smashing guys his whole career.
No offense Tony Bellew, but Callum Smith has no knockout power. Artur Beterbiev is a devout Muslim with a strict and healthy diet, plus he fasts. This is why he was much stronger.
I don't understand what is so strange about a 38 year old man having more growth hormone than usual, everyone knows how common a growth spurt is just before you turn 40.
These are the questions I was asking when Pacquiao was smashing people twice his size to pieces like Cotto, Margarito and nearly killing Hatton and nobody said anything when he refused to take the test and said he was scared of needles…
Brits are funny, their guy lost because he wasn't ready for Beterbiev (who is? And no, Bivol isn"t either) and here they are "not accusing" him but still trying to cast a shadow of a doubt on a Champion, because they can't admit they backed the wrong horse.
Bellew is just being an embarrassment here. Anyone who is big into boxing knows that Beterbiev has been class for years. He was feared in the amateurs cos he used to batter and stop people while others were playing for points. There's an interview on TH-cam (few years back) where Badou checks MJP when she intimates that Beterbiev might be overrated and says exactly that. Beterbiev beat and even dropped Usyk in the amateurs 🙂. The idea that he has come out of nowhere (intimating drugs are involved) is ridiculous. He battered Gvodzyk five years back who imo was a better, stronger and bigger version & tougher version of Bivol. Bellew is just salty cos his mate got the tannin of a lifetime on Saturday. The sad fact is, Smith's record and reputation was massively inflated. He hasn't go a credible win against an elite or world class opponent. He ducked Benividez when he was ranked in the WBC before the super series. He lost to Canelo badly and Ryder be a him up too. It was obvious he was gonna get battered
At the end of the day.... Beterbiev's most effective punch in this fight was probably his jab.... just think about that reach advantage that Callum had over Artur.... and yet..... Artur has the more effective jab.... that's timing and experience and skill. Beterbiev is a far superior fighter. LHW Beterbiev ( at any stage of his pro career) would KO a prime Cruiser Weight Bellew at his best. JUST THE FACTS.
Bellew, if your testosterone is on the floor, that’s a sign you’ve been using. No one T-level should be on the floor unless you were cycling and were tested after your cycle ended. Coming off steroids makes your levels plummet.
The truth is very simple, Tony is salty because a scouser got absolutely pummeled.

Bellew is insinuating he's cheating, whilst trying to say he's not taking away from him or calling him a cheat, you are, in a weaselly way, he didn't pop for a foreign substance in his body, he had raised levels, that can be caused by doing heavy squats if you don't usually do them, that's why the subsequent two tests came back with nothing
Tony Bellew is a scumbag and he also asked is Joe Smith as hard a puncher as Callum!? 😂 seriously what a joke joe smith will punch callums head in.
haha Callum Smith threw about 4 punches course they had no effect
Beterbiev has been doing this to people since the amateur days, it's not likes he's gone from a bang average puncher to one punch KO artist like Benn did. The reality that Bellew can't accept is that Smith isn't as good as he thinks he is. Yarde gave Artur a tough fight by beating him to the punch using his speed, that's simply why Artur looked better in this fight - easier style to deal with
Yarde is one of the more athletically gifted fighters in the game today and has some moves
Smith has been to inactivate .
Smith’s best win is against a one armed Groves.
Everyone who’s ever seen Berbitev knows he got heavy hands.
He always has have had , all the experts say you’re power is the last thing to go.
The man is devoted to his religion & sport , give him credit ffs
Correct mate. How can Bellew criticise Bertebiev but defend Benn - unfu*kingbelievable!
@bladerunner16 because he's a PR guy for Matchroom that's why. Bellew has always been a hypocrite he hates ped users but defends his buddies who have actually failed tests like Benn ! That says it all about him.
Crying because a scouser got beat.
He was extremely quiet in regards to benn . He actually went home to his wife and kids when the benn story broke 😂
😂😂
What is your point about him going home to he’s wife and kids, that’s how most married men with kids go,
With benn he has been proven to be completely guilty yet

The way Callum got smashed just shows the level of Anthony Yarde. People better put some respect on Yarde's name

@@mikeypc3592In the end but at least he put up a good fight before that 😏

Spot on, Yarde would beat Smith
They’re all on gear.
But in Bellews world they’re only on gear when it fits his narrative. AJ built like an IBJJF pro training like a boxer, good one.
At the top level most of them will be

@@djangosho9728 clown. He’s 270lbs shredded and depending on his opponent just casually throws 5kg of muscle on in a few months when going for the ko.
Well said
Joe Smith Jr also had never been dropped or stopped in the amateurs or as a professional before fighting Beterbiev. Also Joe Smith hits a lot harder than Callum.
I thought that when Tony asked the question who's better as if it's obvious that callum is better than Joe. In reality Joe Smith has achieved way more than Callum at light heavy.
@@G22865 Facts!!!
Joe smith early in career was stopped in a round
@@JumpingTimmy-ty9zo Stopped by who? 😂
@@JumpingTimmy-ty9zo no he wasn't. He's never been stopped in a round
Tony is quick to jump at conclusions about someone else’s potentially adverse findings. But when its one of his own favourites he’ll come up with every excuse to brush it away
Pregnancy pill so it’s ok hahah
100% facts and he's also crying because a fellow scouser got pummeled.
Beterbiev not only has an iron chin he also has a body made of hard leather. He was fast , bounced about the place and could punch without needing to be efficient against his opponent. It's very unusual.
GGG had a good chin and still carried strength but no one said it was unusual. One atypical finding and everyone’s now saying beterbievs similar attributes are unusual or suspect. Let’s look at the facts.
He’s had a lot of amateur fights and is well schooled and disciplined. Doesn’t go up in weight between fights, doesn’t drink, eats well and trains hard. Couple that with good genetics and a solid amateur pedigree and he’s going to be levels about most of his competitors. He’s a special fighter, they do come around he’s just not had the clout like others.
Anyone with a training background knows that Olympic lifting/strength training promotes testosterone and HGH, dense muscle fibre/bone density which shows why he’s so heavy handed and if you watch the few training videos beterbiev squats deadlifts and benches and is strong for his weight. Not impossible numbers either but he’s stronger than most light heavyweights by a lot. The test concluded he had higher than normal levels of test and HGH, but not enough to fail a test, and was later concluded they were not taken externally. The body naturally produces these hormones and it’s not super human to have high levels. Super human is failed levels.
Callum smith was out the wrong for 17 months and also got outboxed. Beterbiev has looked the same in all his fights, I wouldn’t say he looked any stronger than previous fights but he boxed better, and made it look easy. He was a heavy favourite before the fight so don’t know why there’s surprises there.
Lastly, VADA don’t call fighters and say we are going to test you on 3rd February 2023, they are completely randomised so are we now saying he’s been lucky to avoid failing a drug test for 18 plus years when he’s been a wrecking ball in all his pro fights? And before we start the whole “yeah but he was lucky because he was obviously coming off a cycle” again, it’s not like he knows when he’s going to get tested and if he was on stuff no doubt he would have already had previous controversy which he hasn’t. He fights the same in all fights so why are we all now saying it’s unusual.
Unfortunately smith isn’t on beterbievs level and it’s sad that someone who is more disciples than most boxers has dedicated his life to boxing is now getting called out because of an atypical finding.
Tony ignoring the fact Benn had a MASKING AGENT!! To hide steroid use! What a double standard here
Beterbievs strength with age, is probably to do with his devote Muslim lifestyle. The guy doesn’t drink, smoke or party or anything. All he does is eat well, sleep and train, he’s an absolute beast.
Explain Islam Makhachev, and Umar Nurmagomedov testing positive for banned substances? Or Ruslan Magomedov getting a lifetime ban for banned substances? He was a religious and pious Muslim too. You really believe there’s nothing suspect with those test?
@@SuperwavyMaybe something to do with ethnicity or the foods that ethnicity eat. Do some trials on chechen population, test their levels, check whether the traditional foods they eat raise HGH and testosterone. Check whether fasting raises levels…etc
@@nokhchi1079
But they have Chechen fighters that tested positive, so that’s not the case bro
Artur is the man in boxing, a real beast.
Or maybe because Beterbiev is a God fearing man so he lives by a clean lifestyle, stays disciplined, not out getting drunk, when you take care of yourself you last longer, you become stronger, you hold on to your physical prime longer..Beterbiev is as disciplined as they come, it's like people have forgotten about hard work and discipline, you're only as old as how you manage your time. Beterbiev invests all his time in the gym..course he's going to get better he lives the right life.
Explain Islam Makhachev, and Umar Nurmagomedov testing positive for banned substances? Or Ruslan Magomedov getting a lifetime ban for banned substances? He was a religious and pious Muslim too. They all train with Beterbiev, I’m not buying that.

With all due respect, Tony can’t compare himself to beterbiev because their lifestyles are completely different. High testosterone levels in arthur shouldn’t be a shock to people.

I know Tony is as biased as they come towards English fighters and is a fellow Scouser but what is Simon's excuse for picking Callum to beat Artur? He has worse judgement than Haye when it comes to boxing outcomes.
Simon Jordan hasn’t got a clue about boxing
Simon only likes boxing because he thinks it adds to his character as a man of varying tastes, from fine wine to the savagery that is boxing but he doesn't understand it. He doesn't like mma though because that's too much, more because he also doesn't understand it and in reality it's real fighting!

How can Bellew say he's getting stronger with age when he's been knocking people out since day one
And he KD Usyk 12 years ago with one punch.
Why are most scousers knobs?
I think all British are
Callum Smith was just being overhyped prior to this fight because of his win over George Grooves. Watching the fight against Canelo Alvarez confirmed that there are levels in elite fighters and certainly Callum is just not able to compete and win against the best… Callum performance on Saturday night was the best he could achieve but again it’s just wasn’t on the level of Artur Beterbiev… from round 2 you could see that there’s only going to be one outcome and that Callum was not going the distance…

He should have the same energy when Billy Joe or Connor Benn actually tested POSITIVE - a full ILLEGAL test in the past unlike this test which was PERFECTLY LEGAL. Also how can this guy even objectively say Berterbiev is getting stronger with age? Does he have evidence of this? Artur has 20 fights 20 KOs he’s been like this his entire pro career. As they always say, punch power is always the last thing to go…
Tony should use his words more carefully before beterbiev legal team comes after all that money he has saved for his wife and kids 😂😂😂
Tony needs to stop comparing himself to Beterbiev. Beterbiev doesn't drink nor does he eat pork and never let's himself blow up in between fights. Not to mention also that Arthur is a Russian Chechen that grew up in a war era....Mind, body and soul Beterbiev is levels ahead of Bellew and many others in the sport of boxing.

@@Superwavy Ruslan was guilty of using PED's....
Callum is not as good as Beterbeiv but Callum not fighting for 18 months did not help at all. Not fighting for less than half that time would be considered retired in the 1930s, yet is standard today. Look at Parker fighting 4 times in a year and beating Wilder with ease, being active is so important and has dropped dramatically in recent years.
Agree 90% of modern boxers have pathetic inactivity these days. What's shocking is it is getting worse as now kids in their mid 20s are having 2 fights a year! Like Shakur, Ryan Garcia, Teofimo etc. These youngsters should be having 4 fights a year minimum in their 20s
@@michaellandon8901 exactly I can't imagine what it will be like in a decade from now if we continue on this path and people will still claim modern boxers are the best
Bellew “ I won’t slander his name, but …” goes on to give the strongest hints he thinks he’s a cheat. How’s Conor doing?
“Callum is a world class fighter” 😂😂😂😂
He’s British level like his brothers
Beterbiev is 37 or 38 but he looks and moves like he is 27 or 28. His defense is superb and his hands do the talking. Bivol should duck him forever.
Think bivol beterbiev is a fight of the year contender
Nah, we need to see that fight! Both fighters are elite P4P fighters 🥊
Gear makes you punch hard...it doesn't make your opponent not punch
Yes tony. Fighters should look up to and learn from beterbiev, a proper role model. And great fighter
Callum is a big puncher but somehow when it comes to Beterbiev and Canelo his fists turned into Pauli Malignaggi.
ahahaha
Only pipes up about fighters that aren’t his pals!
It was Berterbievs accuracy that impressed me. When did Callums clean left hooks land? His best work was to the body which Buddy kept on telling him to go to.
Smith looked fragile.He should have fought someone more resilient at the new weight that would give him a good test first,an opponent like Yarde.Smith looked at times as bad as he was against Canelo.He`s big enough to go up to cruiserweight,he should try that.
And get killed.He has no power to mess with cruiserweights.
Just because Beterbiev has dropped usyk twice before and beat him lol
Sour grapes 😂
Tony Bellew=🤡🤡
Callum Smith will retire after this fight, I'm pretty certain of that now.
The guy got exposed as a weight cut bully. Easy to punch hard against your opponents when you have 3 inches and 15 pounds on them, the minute he got in the ring with someone of the level of Canelo or Beterbiev, he could not get away with that strategy anymore.
Beterbiev is more than strong, his ring IQ is superior to Smith. George Foreman had some of his best years in his 40's
Honestly people picking Smith must have been on the pipe….
I agree with most here . Beterbiev was a class above Callum . His pressure was immense . The way he moves an opponent back to the ropes and then smashes them us awe inspiring . His short powerful punches I’ve never seen in another boxer . He looks like he is made of oak . I wanted smith to do well but had to admire the destructiveness of Beterbievs boxing . Impressive
look at george foreman he had the same type of power heavy hands ,
Reminds me of Marciano.
After seeing bellew in the jungle I really took a shine to him. Now he’s back to boxing talk can’t stand him again, what a shame
Remember when Belles said “David Price is the heir to the Klitschko throne” 🤣🤣🤣
Zhilei Zhang will be 41 in May and looks to be another one who has got better with age. What seems to be on the decline is his endurance over 10 .rounds or more. This may affect Bieterbiev too if someone as good as Bivol can weather the first half of the fight storm and take him into the later rounds. Physically Bieterbiev did not look to me to have enhanced muscle mass for the fight against Smith - he looked much the same as always despite the reported elevated testosterone. I reckon he is just something of a freak of nature to be able to fight the way that he does at the age he is. But, if the fight lasts that long and Bivol is still competing, rounds 11 and 12 of their fight will be interesting!!
The two examples we have here are a Russian and a Chinese fella. That’s the key piece of information.
Bellew talks out of his backside. Joe smith jnr has got knockout power. Gvozdyk put adonis in a coma and beterbiev stopped him. Bellew needs to get his tongue out of Callum Smith's backside
Bellew claims Callum’s body fat is around 6%, which makes him more ripped than Bruce Lee. I think we can all agree that Tony is talking out of his hoop, and not for the first time.
He's not getting stronger... Smith's a career super middleweight, who hasn't fought in over a year and has moved up to fight the biggest puncher in the sport... The outcome was inevitable... Reality is Yarde would beat Smith.
People forget beterbiev has been knocking people out for the last decade. He used to fit as a light heavy and heavyweight as an Amateur
Callum Smith, a fairly average fighter anyway, has had about 20 mins of action against relative nobodies at LHW, so of course someone elite with a 100% KO ratio is going to make it look easy.
Where was the same energy for Benn? I think we all know.
A truly embarrassing interview from Bellew. The hypocrisy aside, lets look at his reasoning. Smith's never been dropped, ok but he's been beaten up by a smaller man in Canelo. "He took Callum's best shots". Well yeah he's taken shots of heavyweights in his amateur days.
"He's getting stronger and stronger". No, his career has shown he walks through fighters. The likes of Yarde and Johnson are a rarity. Smith is a front runner, he was bullied by Ryder and Canelo. He doesn't control distance for a tall man as he likes to punch in mid to short range. He leans over his front foot, and loads on counters. Beterbiev just found him a very slow, large target unlike Yarde who offered movement from the waist and feet and had the speed and reactions to counter for periods of the fight.
Making statements to put a mans name in the mud, this is whilst he sported gyno throughout career and defending those who've tested positive.
These bellends on talk sport man lol
Physically impossible for a scouser on drugs not for a russian who only trains and prays.
Jealous.
And I suppose Artur has been on PED's since the amateurs when he dropped Usyk? Bellew is the Malignaggi of the heavier weights. "If I'm not as good as him that means he's on the juice!" Bunch of jealous clowns.
Bellew might be right but his radio silence on his mates fighters that doesn't affect his TV appearances makes him look bad.
Smith is a frontrunner. He will look good if his typical style works but once it doesn't, he's in trouble. He doesn't have a second gear and in general is kinda a 1 trick pony (good trick tho). Another big issue in general is that he's not a good outside boxer (despite his height and reach advantage vs everyone else) and you can't fight Beterbiev on the inside. He literally lets guys close to him and fight them at close-mid range.
hes 10 times more dedicated than a bellew
They always slander Muslims at the top 🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️😂🤲🏽📈
Arthur has never got drunk unlike you bellew
Bellwether is a politician. Artur fasts to improve his human growth hormone and doesn't drink or party! So of course he's getting better because he looks after his body!
tony i just want to be left alone bellew, is on every reality show going,interviews galore, and presenting the boxing, calls beterbiev a drug cheat but his old chum conor benn not a scooby
Arthur probally doesn't even know who Bellew is
Look at Bivol's last fight... He's not beating Beterbiev. Can he? Yes, but will he, most likely not. Beterbiev is an absolute monster!
Bivol isn't as heavy handed as Beterbiev but he is certainly as skilled if not even more skilled than him. Usually the boxer beats the fighter at the top level but i think its a genuine 50/50 fight!
Bivol with definitely land on Beterbiev so it's all about if he hits hard enough to deter him. If he can't it will be a long night for Bivol! 🥊
It’s just not true that ‘Callum is a devastating puncher’… he wasn’t at super middle, all his big knockouts have happened at far lower levels/standard then world level, most world level fighters get those sort of ko’s at those levels… punchers get ko’s at any level, not saying he’s not a good fighter but to say he’s ‘devastating’ and ‘I can’t believe he couldn’t put a dent in beterbiev’, I saw Callum get bullied at times during Ryder fight (at one point a middleweight)
Embarrassing sour grapes from Tony bellew. Beterbiev has never failed a drug test. Atypical tests happen all the time. You can get natural rises in testosterone from an intense workout. Beterbiev isn't "getting stronger or better." He has been smashing guys his whole career.
Beterbiev just lives a clean healthy lifestyle and trains like a madman doing loads of unorthodox training
What’s your opinion on Conor benns multiple failed tests Tony? You absolute lemon
No offense Tony Bellew, but Callum Smith has no knockout power. Artur Beterbiev is a devout Muslim with a strict and healthy diet, plus he fasts. This is why he was much stronger.
Yeah ok 🎉
He muslim, he muslim
Thats why
Let me guess you're jewish
Training legs hard releases HGH
I don't understand what is so strange about a 38 year old man having more growth hormone than usual, everyone knows how common a growth spurt is just before you turn 40.
These are the questions I was asking when Pacquiao was smashing people twice his size to pieces like Cotto, Margarito and nearly killing Hatton and nobody said anything when he refused to take the test and said he was scared of needles…
Bertebiev didn't smash smith anymore than he has anyone else
Good questions
Scared of needles whilst being covered in tattoos 🤔
Pacquiao was juicing .Beterbiev is not !
Brits are funny, their guy lost because he wasn't ready for Beterbiev (who is? And no, Bivol isn"t either) and here they are "not accusing" him but still trying to cast a shadow of a doubt on a Champion, because they can't admit they backed the wrong horse.
Bellew is just being an embarrassment here. Anyone who is big into boxing knows that Beterbiev has been class for years. He was feared in the amateurs cos he used to batter and stop people while others were playing for points. There's an interview on TH-cam (few years back) where Badou checks MJP when she intimates that Beterbiev might be overrated and says exactly that. Beterbiev beat and even dropped Usyk in the amateurs 🙂. The idea that he has come out of nowhere (intimating drugs are involved) is ridiculous. He battered Gvodzyk five years back who imo was a better, stronger and bigger version & tougher version of Bivol. Bellew is just salty cos his mate got the tannin of a lifetime on Saturday. The sad fact is, Smith's record and reputation was massively inflated. He hasn't go a credible win against an elite or world class opponent. He ducked Benividez when he was ranked in the WBC before the super series. He lost to Canelo badly and Ryder be a him up too. It was obvious he was gonna get battered
Bellew is slandering him by implication and then keeps saying he's not 🤣
He's full of BS
Adonis Stevenson nearly kilt Bellee and he himself was nearly kilt and on his death bed for nearly 3 month. Thats boxing
Tony as absolutely clueless on this subject
By the the words of Frank Warren "The wisdom of Tony Bellew." 🤣😂🤣😂😂😂Muppet.
Tony is discreditng Beterbiev, first thing is he rode and blocked a lot of punches, secondly his footwork was way too good for Smith
At the end of the day.... Beterbiev's most effective punch in this fight was probably his jab.... just think about that reach advantage that Callum had over Artur.... and yet..... Artur has the more effective jab.... that's timing and experience and skill. Beterbiev is a far superior fighter. LHW Beterbiev ( at any stage of his pro career) would KO a prime Cruiser Weight Bellew at his best. JUST THE FACTS.
Beteriev has looked the same throughout his fights. Stop being salty.
He dont drink, not smoke. Eats healty.
Bellew, if your testosterone is on the floor, that’s a sign you’ve been using. No one T-level should be on the floor unless you were cycling and were tested after your cycle ended. Coming off steroids makes your levels plummet.
