Good calls
Not sure about Liam Smith though , he looked done against Jnr to me, looked like he'd got physical problems.

Liam did look shot, he's had a long long career, 15.5 years a pro, 21 if you add in am fights.

sure is and he walks about at 14 stone, he has made weight so many times. He must be knackered.

I think it will be this but with Yarde vs Smith.

Which if it were the case, with Bivol vs Bert headlining, would honestly be one of the best cards ever.

Doesn't look like Yarde will be on it.

Depends on the way they pick fights… I kinda figured being franks pick he would want to get his prospect the biggest name possible without beating him… shot Liam smith fits the bill.

They wouldn't make the featherweight a woman's fight would they?

Hrgovic vs Du Bois is an interesting fight - didn't the IBF say that they will sanction it - so it looks like that may be for the IBF Interim title.
Zhang vs Wilder is another spicy one, but you'd have to say that Zhang is the heavy favourite...
Smith vs Yarde would be a cracker for Light Heavyweight.
And you would have to say that Eddie will take Wood or Warrington for his Featherweight - personally I'd like to see them face off again.

I would.

I generally disagree with the forum on two heavies: Hrg and Wardley. I think Hrg's the most overrated since Pulev, and that Wardley could reach 5-10 in the rankings with a fair wind.

Ford tweeted the other day that he's not on the 5 vs 5 card and won't fight until July. However, it is hard to imagine him turning it down if there's huge money on the table.
