    I think he will come back better and learn from this I don't think there was much to separate them skill wise biggest difference was the size one looked like he could go down a weight and the other up a weight.
    I still don't know how smith ever made super middle a bit like Tony Bellew making LH

    Now that the action has finished is it still fair to say the best fight on the best card of all time was the one between two Brits?

    Congrats to undisputed champ Bivol on a well deserved victory. Pleased for him but Beterbiev is one of the most beastly 40 y/os to ever grace a boxing ring and it's crazy he can still compete at such a high level against a stylistic nightmare top 4 P4P elite like Bivol at his age

    Congrats to J-Park on a surprise early stoppage of Bakole. Feel really bad for Bakole but credit to both men for taking the fight at such late notice. Big testicles from both doing that

    Congrats to the Kurdish Slickness Kabayel for his third straight body shot KO finish and for proving those of us who've been singing his praises right once again. But likewise I feel bad for Big Bang he's a great character and so likeable

    Congrats to Vergil. He probably did enough to just nick it by a round but man these deep Soviet brothers just cannot ever get the rub of the green in close fights against North Americans and that really grinds my gears

    Congrats to Adames. Another close one. Sheeraz will come again

    Congrats to Callum Smith on a well deserved victory. Commiserations to Buatsi for a valiant effort. Displayed a a hell of a chin tonight.

    A word of advice: Get rid of that frog-eyed Nosferatu looking creep Virgin Hunter and stop taking advice from his filthy dirty cheating protege Dre

    Did I miss anyone?

    Oh yeah, congrats to Shakur for taking 9 rounds to grind down a featherfisted domestic level electrician who took the fight on 3-4 days notice, didn't train a lick for the fight, had spent the last 4 months in the boozer and who was literally wiring circuit boards when he got the call, and completely ran out of gas after 1 round.

    Like I said, shot old inactive Loma would've stopped a full camp active and way bigger Padley in 3-4 rounds with ease so when we hear all this talk about ''generational skills'' remember that

    The same as effective defence does I think a lot of people are putting too much on the shots Beterbiev landed on gloves

    Beterbiev clearly threw more punches in that fight.

    He also clearly landed more on gloves Bivol landed more clean shots watch it back at half speed if you have trouble seeing it in real time

    As a huge fan of Zhang, yeah, that was pretty tough to watch. To his credit though, he kept his dropped or stopped streak going strong at least. It's something and I'm gonna cling to it damn it :lol:

    Lotta folks are prolly gonna call on him to retire now, but I disagree, think there are still a couple of fun and even winnable matches for him. Wouldn't advise him going on for more than a couple more years at max though.

    But the night belongs to Kabayel. Showed an ability to change game plans when something wasn't working, a hell of a chin, good recovery skills, and I was particularly impressed with how he got up from the knockdown and still kept bringing the fight to Zhang instead of just giving the rest of the round up. My personal disappointment aside, it's hard to be anything but impressed with what he did tonight :ggg

    No Crawford?

    I would say the four are the real elite.

    Oh and one more thing to close the night out on.

    Please, Boxing Gods, hear my prayer, and make it so that Turki was so impressed with Parker or Kabayel's performances that he insists on one of them being Usyk's next opponent. Anything but another damn rematch, please :lol:
