    Seen a recent interview with Callum Smith saying he would be open to move up and fight bivol . Opinions on how this would go ?

    Bivol would have 2 Smiths on his win column.

    Smith looks like a skeleton at 168lbs.

    I think Smith is bang average without the weight advantage. He's going to get tuned up at 175.

    Bivol will win. Smith is straight up and down no special effects.

    Hes quite good actually(for 168lbs), but IMO has no plan B and fights in one gear.

    Bivol would dismantel him.... via a boooooring UD.

    Smith owes Ryder a rematch. Dude got outhustled that night and got lucky to run away with the W.
    Didn't like Smith before and quite dislike him now.

    If you have trouble sleeping, watch a Bivol fight.

    Smith would be on form at the bigger weight. Him draining himself was the main problem against Ryder.

    I had trouble watching his highlights.

    As exciting as a tin of beans.
