Overshadowed by Usyks performance but what a performance by Callum. Would love to see him challenge Bivol next. I think he stops him. Absolutely disgrace that he was on before Campbell Hatton and during the Liverpool match by the way.
I would back Bivol to win points against Smith. Vs Beterbiev could go either way. I would back Smith against anyone else at LHW.
Smith needs the big fights now while at his peak although Canelo was a step too far for him and virtually any fighter at present.
I think the other way round. I fancy Callum against Bivol. Think Beterbiev might just have too much for him b
No need for another tickover fight. Ready for a world title fight now. They’d be able to get Smith v Bivol at Liverpool Arena.
It was a devastating knock out and you could see it coming. It’s good to see Callum looking healthy again and enjoying his boxing. It was seriously unhealthy for him to stay at SMW for so long.
Callum vs Bivol should be an easy enough fight to make, they should just get that on next. Think Bivol beats him on points in a fairly close, possibly dull fight.
I agree on all points. The Hatton one enraged me. I think whoever had last call on running order showed him massive disrespect.
It was purely down to Sky timing for the main event to start at a certain time. If all the fight on the card go the distance they can take Hatton off and put him as a float after the main event. You can’t do that with a 12 rounder. With a 6 rounder it doesn’t hold the card up and you can delay the broadcast accordingly. It was nothing to do with Hatton being a priority
Dont think he was a floater. Time tbey started bill, im sure there was time if every fight went 12 rounds. About 1 hour between Okolie fight and main event.
Looked massive and still shredded. His could probably take him through another division although not sure he would have the attributes for it. His opponent looked solid so spark him like that was scary, hopefully he takes the confidence into future fight. Felt his carer had stalled a bit around the Ryder fight needs to get in there with the belt holders and see what noise he can make.
