Comments Thread For: Callum Smith, David Morrell reach terms for WBO interim title fight

[SouthpawRight]

There will be another Riyadh card in Feb. Likely Beterbiev Bivol trilogy and this could end up on it.

I hope Top Soviet Bivol can be 100% with a full camp by then

My bad I thought he was like 32 because he been around a while and not really done anything

Cuban Dave could have fought thrice this year

musta been in the lab changing things after the suspect decision against Artur’s Cousin Imam who had that PED powered hook

The match up is good as both are on the decline

But what makes the winner deserve another a title shot?

They both already lost to the champs

This is just more behavior from the ABCs wanting to make sure the title bouts get a "name" because they get a percentage of the purse and someone like a smith probably has some British fans that are good for tickets which means higher purse and bigger payday for WBO.

I don't feel the champ.should be mandated to fight either of these guys they just very recently had a shot and haven't done anything since

have you seen the rankings? there's bivol, beterbiev, benavidez and callum is next. then we have albert ramirez, malik zinad and ali izmailov. do you honestly think they deserve it more than callum - morrell winner? look at their records. there are no all time greats waiting for their shot.

callum and morrell defeated 2 tbrb top 10 ranked contenders after their losses. that is not "and haven't done anything since".

Decline? So when Duran lost to Dejesus, should have retired? Or JM Marquez when he l Iost to FM.

is Turki funding Callum-Dave

They Can be a great co-main for Top Soviet Bivol-Artur part 3

I don't know. But, you're right that it would be a great co-main to Bivol-Beterbiev 3.

Solid fight. Should be enjoyable.
