if I had wheels I would've been a skateboard

He might be able to say that if these were 15 round fights like 80's. I often wonder how may fights would have had a different victor had they been 15 round fights instead of 12 rounders.

Bivol wasn’t badly hurt from my perspective. He just buzzed him on the bell.

Joe Smith - great attitude, tough as hell, impressive power, defends with face.

5 to 1 odds for Hart seem lopsided but Smith's last good win was 2016 (Hopkins) and Hart has a close decision with Ramirez and beat Barrera.

I think it will be a somewhat similar fight this Saturday with Jesse Hart. Smith might get an exciting early knockdown and win a couple more rounds than vs Bivol but I see him losing by UD. Looks like there is a bit of money coming in on Smith though as odds getting a little closer.

Bivol was hurt badly. look at his hands they dropped completely, a right hook from smith and Bivol would have ended like Kovalev vs Canelo at end of 10th.

I was ringside and had no dog in the fight. Bivol was certainly rocked! I thought Bivol might have been done but he came out for the 11th and regained control. Bivol/Beterbiev would be an intriguing matchup!

Smith is always the underdog and I've always cheered for him having caught Fonfara fight KO.
I like Hart as well.
Should be a pretty high octane fight.
It's make or break for each guy.
I'm looking forward to seeing this
