    That would have been a really good fight.

    Bivol should fight Callum Smith. That's a perfect match-up.

    Me too. He should go after all of the titles and then retire. Tonight's performance was kind of predictable for me but I wanted to see how he took Gyvozdyks right hand. He was never really shook like in the past. He was on a mission. Attack the body and go the head later. Great game plan. This ref who is usually a very good ref was terrible tonight.

    I think it won't be any different than the Gvozdyk fight.

    Bivol has no chance against Beterbiev. None.

    He's in my top 10 pfp. You have to reward a guy who risks a unification fight.

    Only LHW that have a chance against Beterbiev are Johnson, Kovalev, and whoever hits hard af. Because if you can't knock Beterbiev out, you're going to get broken down.

    Beterbiev proved that he's a world class rabbit puncher tonight and forearmer. As good at that craft as Ward is with headbutts and low blows.

    I'm literally praying Kovalev wins against Saul. Beterbiev wants that fight.

    Great fight. Gvozdyk shouldn’t hang his head at all. He’ll be back. Beterbiev is a BEAST! Tough as nails.

    damn, for me, this is one of those times where it's such shame to see the better boxer get broken down like that. beterbiev's body shots took his most important asset away - his legs. once he was forced to fight toe to toe with beterbiev he had no hope.

    Bivol took a pretty flush bomb at the end of the round (after the bell?) from Smith and didn't go down. I think his chin is fine. You need more than a chin though to beat AB and you can't be flat-footed unless you possess enough power to absolutely get AB respect. I just don't think it's a good stylistic match-up for Bivol.

    Unlike some people, I do like Bivol and I think he's a good boxer but he should fight the Kovalev-Canelo winner if he can. That's a much better match-up for him either way.
