    Ramirez will be to damn big for Smith. This fight was at 191. Tonight I would be shock if Ramirez isn't closer to 215 - 220 for the fight

    Yeah, a big one. Zurdo was rocked repeatedly by Bivol, Roamer Angulo, Yunieski Gonzalez and Jesse Hart. Smith hits far harder than all of them.

    I don’t think Joe is fully recovered from that last KO but if he is even 70% himself he can finish this fight under 8 rounds and do it with a vicious KO

    If this was at 175 I would go with Smith but since it's catchweight at 191 I'd have to Favor a Ramirez that didn't have to worry about weight.

    I am hopping for a Smith KO.

    He was rocked real bad against Bivol, if I remember right. Lucky for him Bivol is one of those guys who's perfectly content with just outpointing his opponent, otherwise he would've been on his ass after that.

    Why? Joe Smith Jr is the naturally bigger guy, and fought at 175 for far longer. It could arguably be more beneficial to him. Zurdo looked doughy while Joe still looks ripped.

    I'll be rooting for JSjr to KO Zurdo the fraud. Would love to see Joe get the KO Win after the Beterbiev debacle.

    The weight is more advantageous to Ramirez cause he can't make 175. I also see Smith as an aged fighter past it. He is way slower than Bivol so I don't see him giving Ramirez issue. I'm hoping for a Smith win but I see Ramirez winning this.

    Would love to see working class Joe get the win.

    Picking with my head however I give the slight advantage to what’s eating Gilbert uva.
