    This is why he is definetly a P4P Top Ten fighter and the number one in LHW. This guy fears no one and I don't see anyone beating him except maybe Beterbiev, if he lands a lucky punch.

    Best news I've heard all day. Hopefully Smith Jr. will win and stop the division being held hostage by Stevenson.

    Stevenson will hurt him badly, he needs to step away from a puncher like Stevenson. It will not end well.

    Pretty much this, Q1 shaping up to have some good matches, also like that smith seems to be willing to jump in with anyone - def. Need this kind of attitude in the sport, win-lose-draw gets my respect

    I've picked against Smith twice and he's proven me wrong. Let's see if he can make it a hat trick, because I think Adonis will stop him.

    So rumours we're true. They we're talking about this fight here in QC since early December.
    This is gonna be good. 50-50 fight.
    This is a good move by Al Haymon. Steveson never succeed to become a draw and because of his age can't fight often.
    I think if Smith pulls this off he'll be a good champion, and will fight anyone.

    I'm gonna tell u another rumour that I heard here, a Super 6 at 175 lbs, they just waiting to see what Andre gonna do next, if he's really gonna retire or not.

    Smith is on a mission, that's for sure. I hope for his sake he can hang with Stevenson or things could get ugly.

    Smith Jr. is a straight up G. He wants to fight the best guys out there.

    Couldn't have said it better!!

    If Smith Jr does land the big one and become WBC champ, I have no doubt he'll be up for fighting Ward, Kovalev, Beterbiev, Gvozdyk, or anyone else in the division.
