Dimitry Bivol vs Joe Smith Jr

[Boxing Goat]

I think Smith has a chance in this fight I don't think Bivol is as good as hbo is trying to make it seem.

The proof has been in the pudding thus far.

Poor Joe. I wonder what kind of card they can even come up with for this though? HBO ain't got much for fighters.

Last week the rumour was it was going to be a Bivol and Munguia double header, Munguia now saying he wants to end the year in Mexico. Maybe Bivol gone DAZN, Hearn saying his last 2 cards of the year will be headlined by 2 new signings.

I wouldn't be surprised. HBO should let Munguia fight scrubs in Mexico and only bring him back against better opposition.

You can't go by other fights with fighters with completely different styles like Chilemba and Smith because styles do make fights. I'm not saying Smith beats him but I wouldnt write him completely off against Bivol. Bivol beat Chilemba but looked sloppy not like the hbo crew made it out to be.

I agree with this to an extent. While I believe Smith would be better served taking a tuneup, don't count him out in this fight.
Bivol clearly beat Chilemba, but Chilemba was landing a bit more frequently than the HBO crew were acknowledging.
I feel Bivol's defense is going to have to be more on point in this fight, otherwise, he might have some serious problems.

It's a shame to waste Bivol's talent on Smith. I wish he was fighting someone better. I think Bivol is the best light heavyweight in the world.

Wooo... The fraud is back!!!!...

L3 coming in fashion if Bivol happens to be true..

Bazooka Joe has more of a chance than given credit, remember he fractured his jaw early in the Barrera fight which kept him from mounting any offense afterwards!

When he did mount offense, he was making Barrera very gun shy and hesitant while taking shots an eventually getting dropped!

We don’t know how good Bivol’s chin is, for all we know it could be made from Taiwan and Joe could knock him out if he catches him with a straight right!

But yes, his management is garbage!

Damn now that hbo is out of the boxing business, i wonder if this fight still gets made. Does anyone know what platform bivol will fight on now? Any rumors out there?
i would think hearn will snag him up and he will fight on dazn. Just a hunch
