Why Bet on Artur Beterbiev<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Beterbiev <\/strong>made his pro debut in 2013 and won the WBA-NABA light-heavyweight title in 2014. In 2017, he won the IBF light-heavyweight title against Enrico Kolling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beterbiev<\/strong> has defended that title five times and in 2019, he beat Oleksandr Gvozdyk to win the WBC light-heavyweight title. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his last fight, he beat Marcus Browne to retain the titles. He also held onto his undefeated knockout-to-win ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Joe Smith Jr.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Smith <\/strong>made his pro debut in 2009. To start his career, he won 11 fights via knockout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After losing his first bout in 2010, he then went on a 17-fight win streak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He beat Bernard Hopkins in 2017 in what would be Hopkins’ last fight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smith <\/strong>lost to Dmitry Bivol in 2019 for the WBA light-heavyweight title. Following that, he has won four in a row. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He beat Maxim Vlasov for the WBO light-heavyweight title in 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Betting Analysis – Artur Beterbiev vs. Joe Smith Jr.:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It could be said that Beterbiev <\/strong>has been tested a bit more recently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smith’s rise to the top after the loss against Bivol cannot be denied, however. Can \u201cThe Beast from the East\u201d overcome Beterbiev\u2019s vicious blows? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smith <\/strong>will have a three-inch reach advantage, and while both are the same height, Beterbiev <\/strong>has been known to attack right through his opponent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It won\u2019t be an easy night for the American, as Beterbiev <\/strong>may just end up being too much for the Long Islander, turning him into another victim of his KO power<\/p>\n\n\n\n
