    Looks very likely Jack will vacate and Callum Smith vs Anthony Dirrell will be for the vacant title. Who do you think wins?

    Callum Smith will break down Dirrell who unlike his brother is far more aggressive which plays into Smith's hands, once those body shots start landing that'll be it, also Smith uses his jab and his feet and can maintain a distance, then once he lets the hands go he'll find gaps in Dirrell's defence.

    Smith wins. I don't even think he'll break stride either. Dirrell looked poor on Friday night and tbh, I don't think he wants anything to do with Smith.

    Wouldn't go as far as calling the Dirrell bros bums... Especially considering the participants of last nights big SMW fight both had their hands full against the brother they faced. Kind of a stretch to call solid top 10 if not top 5 fighters 'bums'

    well I don't class Andre Dirrell as an active fighter so I wasn't counting him. Was exaggerating a bit but the likes of Anthony Dirrell, J'eon Love, Jesse Hart etc are very average. Callum Smith will destroy Anthony Dirrell. Badou Jack has improved a lot since the Dirrell fight.

    As a big Smith fan there's a serious risk of him losing on the cards if he can't get Dirrell out of there by the middle rounds. Smith has a bad habit of head hunting and punching himself when he can't get his man out of there early, can be a bit basic too. If he can't KO or bully Dirrell there's a good chance he loses.

    Smith wins but I think it will be on points... Dirrell is fairly tough and seasoned

    Smith has decent power and timing but can see him being a bit nervous before this fight and not letting the bombs go (Like against Fielding)

    Also feel that he doesn't make weight easily which could affect his stamina late in the fight
