I doubt he's winning anymore world titles with performances like that for sure.

Btw do you guys see any promise in Richard Rivera? Did he show enough to be considered a decent threat in the future, or is it more on Jack looking like ****? I kinda like Rivera's whole Popeye gimmick lmao

Jack only lost rounds because of inactivity, I don’t think Popeye will do much in the future.

Riveria is 31 and struggling to defeat a 38 year old Badou Jack. Safe to say I don't think he has much of a future on the world stage, at least at 175lbs.

Yeah Casuals right.

Rivera was brought in to lose to Jack.  Rivera has the classic boxing good record on paper!!  Undefeated in 20+ fights but only fights journeymen and over 35 Yr old.  Has a local promoter who headlines him in his home state in front of a few hundred so fans! Rivera will go back to those shows in a few months, probably sell some more tickets because he just fought a former World Champion on the main card of the Heavyweight World Championship! 

Boxing promotion is mostly all smoke and mirrors!!!!

Me too Cheese!!!!

I am interested in all these fights.   I think Bauderlique will cause Smith problems. Big Bang Zhang will be dangerous AF for the first few rounds.   I also think Joshua is going to make Usyk fight and someone will be KO'd!!!!

This is a fun fight, didn't think Bauderlique would be so happy to trade with Callum.

When Callum smells blood he becomes such a nasty finisher.

Smith is fighting Beterbiev? Normally I'd be mad but I'm rooting hardcore for Zurdo to beat Bivol so idc that Bivol Beterbiev isn't being made

That was a no1 contender fight for Artur Beterbiev WBC WORLD Title!!!
I think Beterbiev destroys everyone but I do think Callum could cause some problems.
Beterbiev just got injured tho so he's not fighting til Spring 2023 at least, he also has an opponent already booked, Anthony Yarde.
Dmitry Bivol is facing Zurdo RamĂ­rez next(probably November).

Soooooo,  how's about an all UK 175 lbs fight between Callum Smith and Joshua Buatsi???? ORRRRRR, if David Benavidez moves up to 175lbs because he can't get anyone to face him at 168lbs.    David Benavidez vs Callum Smith would be a lot of fun!!!
