Let's go Joe! Dude sure isn't afraid to fight anyone. Zurdo is huge, was stepping into the ring at LHW well over 200 lbs (204 vs Boesel from what I remember).

Is Zurdo going to even try and make weight this time?

Surprised it's in vegas

Sure. He will make heavyweight no problem.

Better moving up to cruiser than getting sparked/humiliated by Beterbiev and/or Bivol. Looking forward to seeing Sergey Kovalev entering the picture for a three-man discussion...

Excellent!

Smith has got to be clear up front though, that if Zurdo can't make weight, the price per pound over the limit will be a steep one.

Its going to be a fun fight ?

I'd be surprised if Zurdo wins this fight. His body language hasn't been right at all since he lost to Bivol. He looks defeated still tbh

I thought Smith retired after getting smashed by Beterbiev. If so, not the first time a fighter has come back out of retirement.

Could end up being a war or could be a labored affair between two shopworn/unmotivated veterans if the fight game.
