Billam Smith reminds me of a gardener-turned professional boxer, with no footwork, no head movement-a robotic boxer. ZURDO would easily outbox him or might stop him in the later rounds. Easy money 💰
Zurdo on points. Goulamirian made Zurdo look like a master boxer but he did look improved after the Bovril defeat. He must have learnt a bit from that. Can't see him stopping Smith though.
I dont have an opinion either way on this, dont know them well enough tbh. But if I had to guess I would say Zurdo just because I have a feeling that he is going to be stronger on the day, for some reason. I am going to be keenly watching this one - quite excited for it actually.
Billam Smith was so lucky that Masternak got injured in their fight in the 8th round. The Polish easily outboxed him and dominated the fight from post to pillar. I don't give Smith a chance against Zurdo, who is a better boxer and a very durable, tested boxer.
No, I'm not sure at all. What I'll add is that Billam-Smith does everything well and has the added bonus of McGuigan in his corner, whose tactics are usually spot on. If he follows the game-plan, he can give Zurdo plenty of issues.
I think you may have somehow picked the right man winning but for none of the right reason's, Zurdo really impressed me in his last fight by his footwork, his work rate, punch selection and his angles, also he is a southpaw, something CBS has never faced in his pro career, power wise I would give CBS the edge, but he has slower feet and is sort of basic, good but not great at any one thing. So I picked against CBS in his fight with Okolie and Riakpore and I'm picking Zurdo on points here, so let's see if CBS will prove me wrong again.
I agree Zurdo's skills are underrated somewhat, though I have a hunch his engine and physical strength will be the telling factors. Could be wrong, but I'll stick with my prediction.
As much as i like Billam Smith I'm going for Zurdo. I think he has good skills and whilst Billam Smith does have skills he's a very basic fighter - not geeat footwork, okay punch selection and power, everything good but nothing remarkable. Considering his last few fights and especially Masternek, it's clear that any craft and guile will trouble Billam-Smith. You have to give him credit for finding ways to win but i think this is a bridge too far.
this will be a good one, come on Chris!
zurdo is really good, arguably even better after the bivol loss.
This is a great fight

I don't know but Smith was losing to Masternak. He looked lost in that fight.

CBS got beaten like a dog by masternak the Polish give him a boxing lesson..
When you said he’s got better skills than Zurdo got me shaking my head 😂 mate you sure about that ?

@ I think Zurdo will win on points

Zurdo will win this fight. CBS doesn’t have enough skills or enough power to beat Zurdo
