    Good 4th for Smith Jr has put some pressure on Bivol and landed a couple of right hands. But he was still out worked by Bivol.

    It was his best round

    Problem is, it was only that because of 1 landed punch. It was a good one though.

    Bivol is holding now.

    Smith really does have some power, Bivol looks a little more tentative now.

    Sky sports Uk commentators claiming he won the 4th round based on landing one right hand and putting some pressure on Bivol. I disagree he was outworked

    The way Bivol's handling Smith's power's got me thinking he can handle Beterbiev and possibly Gvozdyk, which means he could handle everybody else at 175...

    Kovalev might be the best fight, as he's got a comparable IQ.

    5-0 Bivol.

    Bivol doesn't seem to fight well on the inside. Smith is at least making Bivol work for the round.

    Honestly Andre Ward never faced someone as good as Bivol.

    I doubt he would be undefeated if Bivol was around town in his prime.

    cmon, both beterbiev and gvozdyk are much better a boxer technically than smith, joe looks kind of awkward tbh

    Andre Ward isnt undefeated, unless you count his blatant corrupt victory over Kovalev.

    Round 3 Bivol 10-9
    Round 4 Smith 10-9
    Round 5 Bivol 10-9

    Joe hyper cautious, Bivol doing little as well, but landing cleaner.

    I don't know how comfortably Bivol can make weight at 168, but he would be an absolute monster there.

    Joe Smith Jr really now looking like a passenger in there after 6 rounds. He needs to go for broke and go out on his shield, as this current pattern will just lead to a wide UD loss.

    Commentator in the UK claiming Smith Jr may have a perferated ear drum
