    It's a huge step up for Bivol and Jack is obviously way more experienced as a pro than him. And as I said earlier, Jack will actually be the bigger man of the two in the ring (perhaps even by a whole division) so it's not like he has a size and weight advantage to overcome. But by the same token, even though he's only had 11 pro fights I'd favour Bivol to beat everyone Jack has beaten so it's an intriguing fight.

    Great fight. This is a huge step up for Bivol and a great opportunity for Jack to shine. It's a 50-50 fight for me.

    I do remember a Russian journalist asking Bivol if he ever thought about moving down to 168 but he said he's very comfortable at 175.
    He's definitely not a big LHW but has faced bigger guys already, Jack is probably same size as Felix Valera, Id favor Bivol in this fight, probably a decision win.

    I favour Bivol too but I'd feel more confident of him winning if he had a bit more experience under his belt, especially against a couple of top 10 ranked guys. Jack's very good and he's a tough test for most if not everyone at 175, let alone an 11 fight novice (albeit a very talented one) like Bivol.

    Bivol fought Valera in just Bivol's 7th fight. I thought that was a very risky fight to take so early on in his career because Valera is a good fighter and he has a horrible awkward style that can cause you fits. But Bivol was excellent and he completely dominated him.

    Gotta give it to Jack.
    He doesn't avoid hard fights
