Comments Thread For: Dmitry Bivol Has Few Issues in Outboxing Joe Smith Over Twelve

I wonder if people on the street ever mistake Johnson for Matt Damon?

Damn - I knew he reminded me of someone. Good call.


Actually the other thing I noticed tonight that I hadn't really picked up on before was some stylistic similarities with George Groves.

So.... They showcased Johnson to legitimate the next Bivol fight... Hopefully not... Bivol really needs to step up...

Thanks...any idea whether the overlap between this and Porter/Ugas is doable? Currently Ramos/Sanata is about to start the 10th/last round...but I don't know what's up next.

I'm guessing the Hooker and Porter fights will probably be at about the same time, Hooker might end just a touch sooner if there's a KO. But I'd think the Bivol fight won't start until the Porter fight is over

Cool...thx and let's hope so.

Mannix just said Hooker was the most weight drained fighter he's ever seen, not good. Needs to move up after this

I don't know if he's got the general boxing ability of a guy like Groves, but his good, long, snappy jab definitely was similar to him I agree.

And he was fighting out of the crouch a la Groves in spells too... not saying he's as good (though he looks promising), just noticed some similar looks to his game.

Rd 1 to Hooker

Les Pierre needs to get on the inside somehow. He can't win standing on the outside in the middle of the ring.
