    Both are vicious KOs waiting to happen once they fight a live body

    annoying when you've scheduled your day and night around the schedule of this card that was advertised everywhere and you switch on and it's changed

    Where is Saudi finding these kids?

    Turki, want some GOOD home grown fighters? You’re the Sports Minister. Get a boxing program going in every middle and high school in a poor area (Saudi has plenty of these, it ain’t all rich there). Get a bunch of regional amateur tournaments happening for these kids, make it all free and easy for them to attend. Have some scouts at the tournaments, pay attention to what kids may have actual talent. Fund those kids to train for real.

    anywhere you’ve got poverty, you’ve got a potential pool of talent for boxing. There’s always going to be some kid with real talent, willing to put everything into it to try to bring his family out of some ****.

    Smith has really wasted a lot of his prime

    Alright guys, so question - IRRESPECTIVE of your picks to win, or whom you're rooting for in either fight today, which of these possible permutations of light heavyweight unification is the most interesting?

    Bivol vs. Smith
    Bivol vs. Buatsi
    Beterbiev vs. Smith II
    Beterbiev vs. Buatsi

    The rematch is obviously least palatable IMO, as we've seen it already.

    Crazy that Smith went from unified champ and P4Per to the opener on an undercard in domestic match-ups.

    First Saudi event? ;) they’re always like this. They’re all day events. You plan nothing else for the day.

    I’m not saying this is a good thing. It ain’t. But it’s how it goes. Probably going to have to sit through a shitty concert or two right before Beterbiev-Bivol.
