Dmitry Bivol def. Joe Smith, Jr., UD (118-110, 119-109, 119-109)
It took him the full 12 rounds to do it, but Dmitry Bivol managed to pick up a solid victory over Joe Smith, Jr. tonight, earning a unanimous decision win. Smith is a fighter notorious for his toughness and his strong chin - this is after all a man who has had his chin broken twice in fights but has never hit the canvas. But over the course of the fight, Bivol simply outboxed and outclassed Smith. He worked behind a jab, mixed his punches up nicely, and just worked a smart, clean fight.
