    I'd put a C-note on Smith , got a tax refund . I think the Vegas odds are off on this fight . Smith has a good hammer .

    Joe Smith Jr needs to win for White America lol.

    I don't mean it in a racist way, we gotta beat the Eastern Euros once. And also for Ukraine!

    Hopefully it’s a brutal multi knockdown slugfest.

    I hope you're right. I have a couple of Joe Smith Jr KO bets going, one being Joe Smith wins in RD 1-6 at +2200! Huge odds for a guy who can punch like JSJ. And I re-watched that shot he landed on Bivol and I gotta say, Bivol might have one of the hardest heads P4P in the sport. That should have KO'd him. I don't think Beterbiev could take that shot without going down, and probably out for the count.

    However, for the league, I took AB by KO. I still think he's the technically better fighter. In fact, I think his power is a tad overrated. He grinds opponents down. I think Smith Jr is the harder puncher between the two. Still, if it goes to the later rounds, I think he'll grind Smith down, probably between rounds 9-12. But I wouldn't be shocked to see a decision either.

    Height inflation.

    They listed Mike Tyson at 5'11.75 and he's probably a weak 5'10.

    No ****. In the prelim show, they just kept bringing fighters out, no delays. Here, it's 20-30 minutes of hype and commercials before they get the next match going!!

    Is it just me, or does the production nowadays seem so cheap? DAZN is a prime example of this, but so are TR and the PBC. This ring walk footage looks so amateurish.
