Evander looks like he’s been hitting Grandma’s medicine cabinet today in between his juice cycles

Hrgovic should win it, obviously but Zhang has got that quick sneaky left.

How long is this delay going to be?

Overwhelmed by the occasion

And he had 5 weeks notice and he is a huge guy as you can see even at 175. I doubt he was in the best condition with that amount of time to train and get down to 168. He looked ridiculously drained in the Canelo weigh in. But you can’t pass those opportunities up.

he’s probably not at that level anyway but he wasn’t 100% that night

175 is definitely better suited to his build. I can't believe he made 168 for all that time.

Coldwell delivering some excellent analysis on the Sky feed on how Usyk's head and upper body movement made Joshua gunshy

Cause Canelo ain't no Eurobum.

Cheers for that forumbum

Betberbiev gonna be busy for a while, with at least Yarde and maybe unification or IBF defense. Smith will have to stay busy. Gonna need to take at least 1 fight, probably 2, while he waits for his shot at Beterbiev. I'm guessing Smith feasts on more Euro level guys like Mikhalkin, Boesel, Krasniqi etc until Beterbiev has to fight him. Smith is a dangerous contender at 175

Yarde would be a voluntary as he has just got the WBO strap (and I note the proposed date has just been cancelled). Smith will come before then so I think this pushes Bivol/Beterbiev undisputed fight next.
