    Who wins and why?

    Gvozdyk beat Adonis Stevenson into a coma

    Joe Smith got schooled by a small Bivol who only used a 1-2 on him all night

    Joe Smith arguably lost to Maxim Vlasov - who is less technically profecient than Gvozdyk and Bivol

    Current Gvozdyk is probably not the same after the Beterbiev fight but prior to that i would have Gvozdyk by decision

    Gvozdyk would have broken his jaw. Seriously Joe Smith is not very good. His next loss is right around the corner.

    He is an overachiever. I like him a lot, but he would lose to Beterbiev. Bivol will always outbox him, but Joe Smith Jr always have that punchers chance with Bivol.

    How many times has Bivol been stopped? How many times has Beterbiev been dropped?

    Gvozdyk would've knocked Joe out.

    Skill difference is quite severe. Joe would have that puncher's chance though.

    Glass-chinned fighters are stopped. Beterbiev has never been seriously hurt.

    Two official knockdowns: Page and Johnson. Page hit his neck-shoulder blade while he was off-balance. Smith dropped him but Beterbiev got up then knocked him out in the next round.

    Beterbiev was clearly, badly hurt against Johnson.

    Johnson had him doing a Caucasian folk dance for a moment.

    But Callum can bang and Artur recovered very quickly.

    He ain't packing glass.

    Badly hurt? He got up fine and kept fighting. No clinging or moving around to avoid exchanges.

    Let's put the whole "Beterbiev was hurt badly against Callum Johnson" thing to rest

    This content is protected


    Round 2 with 1:25 remaining

    Johnson and Beterbiev brawl. Beterbiev is dropped with a left hook. One hand touches the canvas, he immediatel gets up, steadies himself and walks to a corner.

    His head clears within 10 seconds. He comes forward and takes centre of the ring within 15 seconds of hitting the floor and establishing his jab.

    Callum Johnson's moment has gone.

    Beterbiev finishes the round strong
