Tbh I 'd like to see this fight getting made and I have Jacobs to win it.

Im going in this with Jacobs, only chance for Smith is stoppage here.

Jacobs proved his credibility against much tougher opposition, so he looks favorable here.

Smiths good, in fact, he's very good at this weight, however, I feel that Jacobs has got a far better resume and I think he wins that fight if it happens. I will go with Jacobs by UD

I also think that Caleb Plant should cross over the pond and sign with Matchroom.

Smith

Jacobs decision.

Smoth fights to the level of his competition and jacobs is solid but not spectacular. Id take smith because hed have home ring advantage

I'd favor Callum, but only slightly, and I think it'd be another one of those close fights with a decision that people argue either way no matter who gets it.

It'd be a competitive fight.

John Ryder deserves a rematch. Hate it when corrupt judges cost guys like him and Dennis Hogan life changing money. I can't support the Jaime Munguias, Canelos, Callum Smiths, Felix Sturms of the world.

Strum was on the end of a bogus decision against dlh that would have been life changing for him

I would be very confident picking Jacobs here. He’s just a lot better imo.

As long as Jacobs can get up for it - staying hungry after the GGG and Canelo megafights - he should take the win by decision.

Danny Jacobs has simply fought at a much higher level than Callum Smith, and this should tell.

If Smith brings it, Jacobs might have to stop him. Either way, not one to take easy.

Nowadays, it does feel as if we see very few dramatic stoppages outside the heavyweight division, but Jacobs could do it.

Agree , Cal fights to the level and has looked best in his biggest fights. I think he'd come from behind and get to Danny.

Certain fighters do that and it creates a recency bias against them

that fight is made for smith , really is , but jacobs is a top pro and if you aint on your game you could lose, which is why it is a great fight keeps smith on his toes, smith has a great reach and jab and strong punch and quick and moves well , i think if this is the smith who fought groves and has improved should be stopping jacobs in mid rds

Smith would be better off climbing up to 175. He is struggling at the weight now. There are plenty of big fights for him at 175 now.

I think 6′ 3″ Callum Smith is draining himself too much at 168. He's weakened. Jacobs would have good chances to beat him.

what makes it hard to call, just can't predict what level of fight Smith will put in.
