Comments Thread For: Callum Smith Joins World Boxing Super Series

[Pretty Boy1]

Is The WBC Diamond belt the WBC World title now or is Dirrell going to fight someone else for normal WBC title and have there be 2 WBC Super Middleweight World Champions? Confusing as fuck.

[Deletrious]

More excited about the cruiser weight line up but definitely interested in seeing all the fights.

Yessssssssssssssssss.

Let Dirrel shadow Box in Flint while Callum takes care of big boy business. Thank you Eddie Hearn.

Calum my g! That's it. Dare to be great. Tell dirrell to go and f himself they've been ****ing around for months. Only thing is the diamond belt isn't a real world championship so if he wins that it kind of takes away from his moment of becoming a champ for the first time but with the right competitors this competition could be special. Eubank needs to enter hopefully they can sort something for degale too then we'll have a tournament.

good job. *** dirrell

[Citizen Koba]

diamond title is a consolation prize. dirrell vs smith was a mandatory #1 vs #2 fight for the world title. with smith ducking the fight, dirrell will fight a lesser fighter for the vacant title, thus maintaining control for haymon over the WBC & IBF belts at 168.

why would haymon risk losing those belts by putting his fighters in the tournament? wouldn't make any sense unless nearly every fighter in the tournament was a haymon fighter and he liked his odds.

Well, turned out you were completely right on the WBC business.

Good call man. Now I'm starting to wonder if all the business about fighting in Michigan wasn't in fact intended to produce this sort of outcome... maybe that's reaching a little further than the evidence can support though.

Very smart move by Smith. To much money in this tournament to be putting up with Dirrell's B.S. Why the hell would he fight in Flint for peanuts when he'll make more money fighting in this tournament even if he loses in the first round. Dirrell should've joined the tournament. Now he's gotta fight Benavidez and I hope David sparks him.
