I liked how you broke some friendly conversation before discussing boxing. You treated him like an human being first and foremost. Great Interview.

He almost died there,still saying bivol is beter 😂

This guy is deluded. Artur mopped the floor with you, give the man credit.

Smith you got sparked. Give the man his dues

“Bivol was nicer to me. Bivol is better”.

He said well I only remember a few seconds of that beterbeive fight

Why people getting mad at what he said. He’s been in the ring with both guys. I’m sure he knows way more than some couch potatoes 😂

Just because someone isnt robotic, text book, pillow fisted and slick, doesnt mean they are not an excellent boxer.. you gotta use skill to ko people at this level cant just walk them down

“I never felt a punch like that before”-Joe Smith 😂😂😩 real and true story at the same time. Joe smith, in your position, you have no choice but to say Beterbiev will beat Bivol. Bivol stood with you in 12 rounds and beterbiev sparked you in 2. That’s a 10 round difference

Did he really say? Bivol was the thougher fight for me..😂😂😂😂😂

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.

Smith give Artur his credit. He mopped the ring with you. Artur was definitely your tuffest fight ever!

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.

Fighters have to stop trying to use this "He punched me behind the ear" as an excuse. We all know what happens when you get hit there so as a professional fighter you're expected to keep your hands up/ hold the phone, move your head and defend from getting hit in places you can't recover from. Especially when you're facing a big puncher

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

Sour grapes on Beterbiev

bivol is the better BOXER but i think beterbiev is just pure destructive power and speed on top of very good boxing ability

Basically like asking Roberto Duran who would win between Hagler and Hearns. Styles make the fight and under the lights certain men perform brilliantly.

Beterbiev is The Best

Beterbiev knocked him down many times,he only lasted to two rounds... what a crazy joe is!!!!!

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?"

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’s got this! Go Bivol. 🥊

LMFAO only lasted barely 2 rounds with Beterbiev and went to decision with Bivol and never got hurt, saying Bivol is better. Ok buddy

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

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

I just watched highlights of Beterbiev smoking this guy in 2 rounds before this. What is he saying.

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.

Been saying it for 5 years now beterbeiv is the most powerful boxer in boxing 🥊 🥊🥊

I'm on underdog Bivol, because he's the more complete fighter would face by beterviev

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

Bivol was a tougher fight?? Thus guy is still concussed from beterbiev smashing lol 100% his hardest fight was beterbiev and just has a huge ego to admit it

Beterbiev beats everyone from 168 to 175

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

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.

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

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

Bivol is better because beterviev put me to sleep😂😂✌️

Beterbiev has played with him like a toys. And you said Bivol was a toff fight. HAHAHA it's hilarious.

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!

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

I think It is like hit and run vs hammer.

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

Sounds like Sway interviewing him lol

Everybody knows the answer if you look at the results of the both fights

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

artur beterbiev number (1) 🦁

This is a 50/50 fight. Its gonna be eithers toughest fight to date

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

Hes got a big ego, you lost against them both, beterbieve made easy work of you

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.

Only way to beat Beterbiev is with a gun😂

Orgullo de Raíces españolas Orgullo español de La Ciudad española de Mineola Long Island,Nueva York Estados Unidos Joe Smith,Jr.🇪🇸🇺🇸

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

Smith hitting Bivol after the bell in 10 round.And thats the only time when he was able to land a punch on Bivol.

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

there both made from iron ? lets leave it at that?

Beterbiev does punch the back of the head a lot. Hooks and such. Those shots are always damaging.

He forgot the power of beterbiev. He can't remember anything. 😅😅😅

Yeah u spitting facts

Seems like Mr. Joe Smith is a nice guy 👍

Dude is tough.

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.

Ren like Small Baby 😂😂😂😂After beterbiev punch

He should fight Anthony Yarde

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

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....

No one deserves this more than joe. I’m sure if the money was there beterbiev would love it. The tougher fight was bivol cause it went 12, artur stopped it in 2, anyways joes a movie character in real life! Enjoy ur kid,caneLo vs joe smith! Give him the payday

He couldn't hit Bivol for 12 rounds. Was absolutely schooled. Got the complete sweet science taught him that day

Beterbiev destroys the world of the boxing purist type fan. The matador does not always beat the bull. Beterbiev proves that.

Why’s he look like Kumaru Usman ??LOLOL

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

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.

Nobody in boxing has beterbiev power. Both hands and only need 6 inches of room.😮👁️🤷

Waste of my time..just pick one for crying out loud..

My concern is that Beterbiev is pushing 40 years old

Yeah ok 👌🏾

175 division belongs to Bivol

Бивол дал ему нанести один удар , а Артур его чуть не убил поэтому ему больше нравится Бивол

Bivol more skilled but beterbiev has a punchers chance

Bivol wins on points

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

He just now made excuses and then he said no excuses ……

Great Fighter

Magoo but safe wise answer...

Social media boxing fans are so sensitive. 💋❄❄

Bivol by UD.

Beterbiev is going to win《stop》 but BIVOL will outbox for most rounds

Beterbiev KO everybody. Just like Foreman 50 years ago. Bivol dance just like Ali. And we know how that ended. Boxer beats slugger.

Bivol

Beterbiev will take bivol to school. Beterbiev doesn’t move backward, always moving forward regardless of bloody fight or not. Bivol has to manhandle Beterbiev, otherwise he will get manhandled. I think beterbiev will stop bivol in 6-7 rounds.smith didn’t remember how punishment he took from Beterbiev. If they didn’t stop the fight he would’ve been knocked out for sure.

Artur "Better" bieb

No excuses but I just gave you excuses 💯 in denial

While beterbiev is a hitter, Bivol is a boxer.

Son of bivol & betervieb

He says he was better that night comedy if u would have 100 match with beterbiev he will win 100 times

* Every time the infidels create a fighter in every country, God brings out for them a Muslim fighter like Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson, and they are still amazed by this matter.

ofc bivol is tougher fight for him cause he goes 12 round and lose every one of em, beterbiev save his life for not going to the end

Bivol will win

Bivol will beat Beterbiev, like Fury did to Wilder
