Who would you guys pick to win? I was leaning more and more Bivol but with Smith Jr hurting Bivol badly, and Kovalev getting his stamina back his last fight, Kovalev might even be the favorite again. Hell of a matchup.

Kovalev is a much better boxer than Joe Smith. I'm still not sure who will win this one yet.
I was surprised Smith looked so basic and awful last night. And yet he still had more than a few good moments.
Cuz to me, Smith Jr looked in fantastic shape at the weigh in, fantastic, and he made weight easily, but then on fight night, he looked bigger than I remembered, and slower than I remembered. And yet, when fighting the smallest opponent I've ever seen him fight, and the quickest opponent I've ever seen him fight, isn't that exactly what you would expect it to look like, that he looks bigger and slower than you remember?
I was definitely wondering about that though. Or did Smith Jr rehydrate extra on purpose to be able to take Bivol's power, which means Bivol had to deal with even more weight than BHop did, but made Smith Jr slower? Tradeoffs.
We will never know because amateur DAZN didn't post the fight night weights. *****ing amateurs! Unacceptable in 2019. And Im a DAZN supporter. Its just so frustrating fans keep getting the short end of the stick on good fights and now even basic important information we need to know to fully analyze the fights.

I didn't like the way Bivol was getting hit by some of the same punches Smith was throwing the entire fight.
Smith did look considerably bigger than Bivol.
