This is how a true champion acts out of the ring humble , honest and magnanimous in defeat , not the blustering buffoonery we are at times subjected to . What a man.
Im Mexican and we love the Smith brothers here. He has nothing to feel ashamed for. He still is a former british, european, wbc silver and wba super world champion. Theres no shame in losing to two solid and historic world champions.
@@shitmonkyable Exactly he never tried to give it his all and try to push him back or stay consistent with jabs and movement was basically a punch bag for 7 rounds.
@ Michael watch it again without the commentary fella, first four I believe went a case of Beterbiev came out strong then took his foot off the gas and Callum let he’s shots go for the other half of them rounds ;-)
Easy to say “use your reach” when you’re watching on your screen, using your reach against a pressure fighter isn’t easy especially when standing against a mean machine like Beterbiev who can hit like a truck in a small distance
@@tongotongo3143what planet are you on? The fella sacrificed Christmas with his 2 children to fight a man in his backyard with 100% KO ratio who could have put him in a coma. Hilarious comment 😂 if you don’t think he’s a warrior, why not offer him a fight and see how you get on?
Callum was always the most likeable out of the Scouse fighters, poor fella looks like he’s been in a car crash. No shame on losing to Artur, a P4P top fighter.
This guy deserves respect. Despite not having fought for a year and a half and being aware of the potential damage he would probably face boxing Beterbiev, he stepped into the ring with one of the most dangerous boxers of today.
He did get paid what would take the average worker 15 years to earn. Ask any of them if they would have taken a beating and then the next 15 years on holiday and I think I know the answer.
Truly believe Callum fought the best he could and that's all you can ask from a man, he was up against a machine. One defeat is not a total defeat, he went down swinging 👊
Huge respect to Callum, went out on his shield and he fought back and tried to actually win the fight. Wasnt high on his performance v Canelo or Ryder but despite this loss, I thought this was a redemptive performance as he showed a lot of heart and determination.
There are levels in this boxing game and Beterbiev showed he is an elite fighter. Smith was courageous. Losses are a normal thing in life, its about how you learn from these, get back up and keep on going.
With all due respect he has been showing he is an elite fighter since the amateurs, it aint the first time lol, he was one of usyk's tougest fights in the amateurs and usyk was also already world class as he also had many amateur fights and stayed in the amateur until his 20s Beterbiev is 39, the fist time he showed he was a world level fighter was prob during his late teens
Yeah he caught him and fair play but he lost every single round against him in the 2 fights bar that round. The 2nd fight was a boxing lesson from start to finish total mismatch nobody wouldeven want that again@RoyJones-nx6zi
Great fight, humble individual! Deserves nothing except respect; nothing to hold his head down about! It sucks to lose, but you gave a great effort, thanks for the show.
A good fighter must be someone who always respect to their opponent.. theres nothing to shame Callum.. it doesnt matter u win or not.. u always deserved our respect my man..!!🫡👊💪
Now there is a bloke who is humble. Respect to Calum Smith, enjoy your family for a bit now fella and see how you feel about things after a well earned break.
Ill be honest i was disappointed with Callum's efforts against Canelo as i felt he never really tried to win in that fight, in this fight however, against a much more dangerous man, I believe Callum redeemed himself. Callum tried everything in his arsenal, it just wasn't enough against Beterbiev. All you can ask from a fighter is to give it their all and Smith did that tonight. I'd love to see Callum against Yarde or another contender, I think he's got a great shot at anyone that's not Beterbiev.
@@Niggleblade1986 first off, i said much more dangerous, meaning he’s a bigger person who’s ko’d everyone he’s fought, when was canelos last ko? Plant 5 fights ago? And if you dont see that Beterbiev would squash canelo like a bug, what exactly are you smoking?
@@Niggleblade1986 if Canelo won a single round against Bivol your comment wouldn't be so bad. Beterbiev is Canelo with better boxing, an actual jab, and 40% more power.
well canelo is a whole different type of opponent. against canelo, anytime smith threw a punch he got countered fast and hard. he’d also miss. against beterbiev, he was able to get some offense off and not get countered so easily and he was able to actually land. 2 completely different styles. canelo shuts down a lot of his opponents offense, where as beterbiev just completely bulldozes people despite their offense
Well said, nice honesty. When a boxer accepts he is not and can never be the best, he has to retire, assuming he doesn’t need the money. Callum Smith fought at the elite level twice and can up short twice. But look who he lost to - Canelo and Beterbiev. Only the very best beat him. I’d hate to see him carry on and lose to lesser fighters
Brother I am in your corner. Let’s be honest he is a monster!!! 🥊 you didn’t hurt him, he definitely hurt you in 1st round with body shot. That changed everything. Don’t beat yourself up, you will come again! You’re a true champ too.
For a man who stands in front of uou the whole fight beterbiev is hard to hit clean despite what the interviewer thinks. He stays in range but most times Smith looked for a big shot he used his feet or head movement to just get out of range and come back in range. He uses fine margins. Don't sleep on his IQ.
They don't recognise how smart beterbiev is , they assume its just power , but he's actually masterful in the way his applies pressure , subtle steps and creating traps
What an asset to his family and British boxing, a genuine pursuit pf greatness is a scarce commodity in modern boxing. You've had an outstanding career and last night didn't blunt those achievements.
💯% respect to Callum Smith a true champion in victory and loss it wasn't your night but another time it could be different so well done mate.. is there a tougher fighting family in this county or wherever than the Smith brothers ..I don't think so.
Look at all the soft comments just because hes a nice guy. He folded too easily and didnt use his length. Even Yarde showed more resistance and went for it. This guy folded up easily like a lawn chair. Yes he was likely gonna get stopped but atleast go for it.
No one here saying he boxed well, the comments are mainly about his humility in defeat, which is rare these days. Perhaps in your culture it's an alien concept
Nice guy could have been really good but fights like he’s 5.8 not 6.4 gives away his best attributes shame really .he said he didn’t feel it but his face got battered Arthur has got a scratch on him
Beterbiev is a freak of nature with insane genetic power it took a man with that plus a 100% ko ratio to drop callum for the first time that means hes pretty damn good himself no shame callum your a world renowned badass!!👊🏼💪🏼 and congrats on the engagement !!
good on ya Callum. You're a top notch athlete and a fine example of what a real sportsman is. and it's true, it just didn't go your way tonight, but that doesn't take away from your greatness. I hope that Bivol can knock this bloke off and I really think he can and will.
What went wrong is that you don’t have the power to hurt the fellow. And on the contraire, he’s got the power to hurt you. Don’t need to make it more complex than this. Obviously both have boxing skills. Just one could hurt and the other could not hurt.
Fight was way more complicated than power... not sure where you got this impression from. Beterbiev's timing, jab, and footwork as far as closing the distance was all too much for Smith.
Difference between being able to see what an opponent is going to throw Vs actually being able to do something about it. Artur is readable in that he isn't a slick speedy boxer, he's just incredibly powerful and applies constant pressure.
You missed his point, there is a difference in being able to be comfortable in the ring knowing what the other guy is going to try and do but stopping it is a whole different ball game
I had Beterbiev by stoppage. He carried Smith for 5rds. He played with his food. Way too strong. Callum caught him clean a couple times and he laughed at him.
This is how a true champion acts out of the ring humble , honest and magnanimous in defeat , not the blustering buffoonery we are at times subjected to . What a man.

The post fight interview with Callum Johnson is better
Not much , My first World champion fight was between Howard, Winston and Jose Legra for the WBC featherweight title,
It's amazing that at more or less age 39, Beterbiev is still at his peak. What an athlete and a very humble fighter.

He did get paid what would take the average worker 15 years to earn. Ask any of them if they would have taken a beating and then the next 15 years on holiday and I think I know the answer.
Possibly one of the most dangerous ever. He's getting better with age!

Yes, his spacing control and timing really is great. Add to that, his immense power and yes agreed, he is truly something different.

Respect Callum. An honest assessment.
I got a smile when he said, Beterbiev was quite readable, I guess Callum can't read then.
Difference between being able to see what an opponent is going to throw Vs actually being able to do something about it.
Artur is readable in that he isn't a slick speedy boxer, he's just incredibly powerful and applies constant pressure.
I think he just means he doesn’t move his head much and throws straight, clubbing shots
I think he just means read him or not he just cannot be beat 👀🥊
clearly you can't read because you completely missed his point
You missed his point, there is a difference in being able to be comfortable in the ring knowing what the other guy is going to try and do but stopping it is a whole different ball game
