    Will be a cracking fight for however long it lasts. Smith more active and is the more durable of the two so you would have to lean towards him but it is a close fight.

    Bivol, Vlasov, Alvarez, Barrera, Hart, and Fonfara (albeit it didn't last a round and I don't think he got hit) can all punch hard to varying degrees and he's never been knocked down.

    And he proved his toughness going 10 rounds with Barrera after suffering a badly broken jaw in round 1 or 2. Even though he'd suffered a broken jaw in his only other loss and he knew exactly what hell was in store for him again (six weeks of having your jaw wired up which is meant to be extremely hard both mentally and physically), he didn't quit and bravely battled on through excruciating pain.

    Callum has declined because of activity

    Joe Smith Jr has lost his courage and is terrified of Beterbiev

    One of them is going to get chinned badly and the other one will be in decline shortly afterwards

    Well that prove he have fought better oppositons only for me,if he survive the best shots of Johnson then i would say he have a granite chin and very tough.His jaw could be shattered again against Johnson...we will see,im impatient to see.

    I think they're both top 5 heaviest hitters in the division, probably top 3 actually. Beterbiev is by far the hardest puncher either of them have fought but they're both capable of taking out anyone themselves and a KO either way wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

    Yeah, there's a very real risk Smith's jaw could go again in this one.

    I think it will be a fire fight while it lasts but I think Smith stops him within 5 rounds.
