    Smith got smashed by Canelo.
    Then Canelo got smashed by Bivol.
    But Bivol then has to fight Smith rather than the fight everyone wants (besides twat Hearn)
    This is everything I hate about boxing.

    I hope Hearn gets banned along with Benn. Complete *****

    How can it be 5 years if they both didn’t even become a notable champion until 2018-2019? :thinking:
    It wasn’t until 2020 that people have been calling for Bivol vs Beterbiev to happen. Although to be fair that’s still too long to not have it made.

    Just as we all expected.. How many more mandatories before we can finally see Bivol vs Beterbiev?

    They will try anything to keep a Beterbiev vs Bivol title unification bout from ever happening. Some promoter does not want to have empty pockets.

    This is a useless fight. Beterbiev will destroy Smith. Just bring on Bivol and get one of the biggest fights in the sport done.

    Beterbiev has been hurt and dropped by a few Brits Yarde, Johnson, don't be surprised if Smith gives Beterbiev a tough fight. I think Smith was weight drained towards the end of his 168 reign and suits being at 175.

    Lets just hope this time Smith decides to do anything & actually try fighting for all his talk.
