PICKS: ARTUR BETERBIEV VS. CALLUM SMITH, JASON MOLONEY, CHRISTIAN MBILLI & MORE

By: Jay Calderon

OnSaturday, January 13, at the Centre Videotron in Quebec, Canada, and live on ESPN, unified Light-Heavyweight titlist Artur Beterbiev takes on former Super Middleweight world champion Callum Smith.

Beterbiev (19-0, 19KOs) will look for his 20th perfect outing as a pro, having stopped all previous opponents. Most recently, Beterbiev overcame a tough Anthony Yarde, stopping the Brit in the eighth frame back in January.

Smith (29-1, 21KOs) has won twice since his sole loss, a 2020 defeat to Canelo Alvarez. Most recently, since campaigning at 175 pounds, Smith has picked up stoppage wins in 2021 and 2022, respectively.

Also on the card, Jason Moloney (26-2, 19KOs) will defend his Bantamweight gold against the hard-hitting Saul Sanchez (20-2, 12KOs), and Christian Mbilli (25-0, 21KOs) will take on Rohan Murdock (27-2, 19KOs).
