Comments Thread For: Joe Smith: I Wish I Had 5 More Seconds; Would've Finished Bivol

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

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!

I thought he buzzed him but I don’t think Bivol would’ve been in deep trouble had their been more time in the round.

It kind of reminded me of when Maidana buzzed Floyd at the bell in the second fight. It hurt him but he wasn’t in serious trouble is the point I’m trying to make.

I’d probably pick Beterbiev over anyone at 175 tbh. I just don’t think anyone can withstand his brute force for 12 rounds. You could argue that Bivol stylistically would be able to outbox him but we seen what happened to Gvodzyk.

Him and Bivol are the top two light heavyweights IMO and that’s definitely a fight I’d love to see in 2020.

It would be a great fight. Better sooner than later!

Action packed fight that’s what Smith always brings, win lose or draw!

Smith needs a better coach to work on his fundamentals!

He has heart, a chin, power, size and doesn’t get tired but he lacks fundamentals!

He normally has the reach advantage but this time he’s going against a motivated and giant of a man in Jesse Hart who can box and ****!

I think Hart will Knock him out unless he gets caught with the bazooka right hand!

What if Bivol had an extra 5 seconds for every time he had you hurt? ....

No If But or maybe.

you were gone in the last round and the bell saved your life. Bivol was not gone as Kovalev against Canelo.Bivol is smart .On the other hand you were rocked and received a beating in every round.Bivol outboxed you in all rounds
