Smith's coach commented on the defeat from Beterbiev

Trainer of a former world champion Callum Smith Buddy McGirt spoke about his ward's defeat in a fight against the holder of the WBC, WBO and IBF light heavyweight titles Artur Beterbiev

“Like any sport, one day you’re on top and the next you’re not. It just wasn't Callum's day, so we'll start with a clean slate. I can sit here and tell you what went wrong, but Beterbiev was better in this fight. People talk about Beterbiev's power, the power of his punches, but he is a very smart fighter. He will be difficult to defeat.

Now we will rest and relax. At this point, I don’t even want to talk about boxing,” McGirt said in an interview with the Pro Boxing Fans YouTube channel.

Let us remember that last weekend Beterbiev defeated Smith by technical knockout in the seventh round.
