    Ha3x Hearn is massive, I think he is heavyweight size. He'll knock both DiBella and Ellerbe out.

    I think Eddie's packing Essex glass in that smug mandible of his. He's also quite publicly soiled himself at a couple of press conferences - most notably Chisora Whyte.

    Love how Jack continues to get underrated, Bivol looks promising but Jack would handle him, too experienced and savvy in the ring. Jack by late TKO.

    Bivol is far superior to Cleverly, Jack will not be able to walk all over Bivol....................wonder if USTV will boycott this fight?

    bivol on points or by ko late on. Only thing that can save jack is his experience other than that he is way way outclassed!

    Really decent fight. Jack could potentially be building up some body of work here, though I favour Bivol. He looks the goods.

    The winner of that match will be another bigtime contender for the LHW crown.
    I expect Bivol to stop Jack late, but I've underrated Jack before.

    anyone know who bivol has fought who isn't a no namer or with a poor record?

    jack has more experience in big fights so i'd have to go with jack,m body work and then pick him off at the end.

    some people will say anything to get one over on jack. Jack's a nice, humble and solid competitor. Not sure who he offends to get some much hate/no recognition

    I'm a Bivol fan, but I agree that Jack routinely gets sold too short around here and seems to get way more spite thrown his way than necessary. Maybe I missed something?

    If this fight comes off, even though Jack is the one who's just moved up to 175 and Cleverly and Bivol are career LHWs (although Cleverly actually turned pro at LMW and has fought as high as CW), there's very high chance that yet again Jack is going to be the heavier man in the ring come fight night and perhaps even heavier by a whole division.

    Jack 187 - Cleverly 182

    Bivol weighed 180 for his last fight. Jack weighed 183 when he fought DeGale down at SMW

    Haven't seen enough of Bivol yet but Jack seems to be underrated by a lot of people, maybe his KO loss doesn't sit well with some but I like Jack. I'll need to watch some Bivol action & see how this pans out.

    In my opinion Bivol's main weakness is that he is not big in the LHW division. He does not have the size like Gvozdyk or Beterbiev do. But he makes up for that with his speed.

    i dont know. its probably because he isn't explosive and doesn't k.o people.
    He has some draws on his records but that against decent opposition. his fighting style probably doesnt allow for clear victories all the time. I like him tho. Crazy Accent at times. Swedish/american accent sounds crazy lol

    Yeah I'd say most SMWs weigh roughly about 180. But, as you say, he is very fast for LHW.

    IIRC, Gvozdyk has weighed between 183-185 for the fights of his where his weight has been listed. I would've expected him to weigh a bit more than that given his height.

    Jack's a solid fighter and I like him. Plus, he gets my respect for taking on some good fighters straight after moving to LHW. This should be a damn good fight. I have Bivol as the 62/38 favourite. Relentless pressure, dogged determination and probably the fastest hands at LHW at the moment. No walk in the park though - Jack has his chances and I agree he gets a bit underrated.
