Should be a decent fight but this is nothing like a fight to determine the best at LHW.

Bring it. After his last fight, I would’ve wanted a lighter assignment for David; but this can’t be passed up.

That’s what Bivol Bieterbiev III is for.

Calling this a world title fight seems a bit silly. Morrell should be rematching his last fight which he won by robbery.

I hope Morrell gives Khataev a rematch, even if it's after Smith. He's going to have an asterisk on his record until he does (AFAIC).

Maybe Smith and Hearn should if accepted the deal to fight Benevidez instead

Exactly what I was thinking. Looks like their decision to wait for their email belt has backfired. I support this decision from the WBO.

This keeps happening because the sanctioning bodies are only pretending to care about "undisputed" to appease the fans. They don't want it really which is why they always create secondary belts after an "undisputed" champion is crowned.

The belt thing needs to go, but I get it with it comes sanctioning fees and suckers to pay to see the BS! The fans need to demand this BS go away and make an impact by not supporting it!
