Bivol vs Smith in March

[KTFOKING]

Honestly, Smith is tailor made for Bivol. This will be a one sided beat down. Smith got destroyed by Barrera and Bivol is levels above that. Only interesting thing to watch is if Smith can land one of his bombs early on and how Bivol takes it. Aside from that? One way fight.

If we get Bivol vs Beterbiev later in the year? I'm okay with fights like this in the mean time.

No, obviously that's not going to happen. No clue what happened to Beterbiev though. Possible injury?

Sources: Deal close for Dmitry Bivol to defend light heavyweight title against Joe Smith in March on DAZN. Smith was originally slated to fight Artur Beterbiev next month, but for the second time, their fight is off. Bivol also close to multi-fight deal with DAZN

Also not surprisingly we will be seeing Bivol sign a deal with DAZN. That is big as it gives them equal ground with ESPN and their LHWs.

Disappointed with this news, I was looking forward to a shootout between Beterbiev and Smith and was hoping to see Bivol go to ESPN to mix it up with Gvodzyk, Alvarez and Kovalev.

At least we might get Bivol-Beterbiev.
Edit: Scrap that! Beterbiev is going to sign a multi fight deal with TR/ESPN.

No idea. Says here Usyk/Beterbiev has been discussed http://www.espn.co.uk/boxing/story/_...ht-heavyweight

Another easy KO for Bivol in my opinion. I think he is the best at 175 and would like him to fight the other light heavyweight champs or the winner of the Jack vs Browne fight.

Leaving for ESPN per Copp. Wow!!! So Bivol is going to DAZN why?

[Chrismart]

A nice signing for DAZN if they get Bivol, and a decent fight to get things rolling.

Smith can punch but probably had a better chance of catching Beterbiev rather than a well schooled Bivol.

Poor Joe, he's going to be missed.

Bivol hasn't had an easy KO for some time now
