    I've noticed this in some highlights, the promotions favored (or highly promoted fighter) will be made to look better than he actually did or downplay the opponent/any controversies in the highlights

    Zurdo

    Smith was battered by Beterbiev and has had a long layoff.

    Call me crazy, but I'd bet on Smith to pull off the upset and KO Zurdo. Should be a fun fight none the less.

    Cancelled my DAZN subscription. If all they're gonna offer now is low tier fights like this and womens fights for $225 a year, while putting mid level fights like Haney vs Prograis on PPV, then I'm out of that garbage.

    I’ll be rooting for Smith jr. but wouldn’t be surprised if Zurdo takes UD or late stoppage.

    all signs point to Zurdo unfortunately. Smith is inactive, getting over family tragedy and an ego crushing beating by Beterbiev, and his power will have less effect at cruiserweight.

    hope I’m wrong though, I don’t want them to start pushing Zurdo again…

    Exactly, what the hell happened to "PPV is dead." Im still not able to get over them back peddling on that.
