Nice this fight is going to be a banger. Plus we get another chapter in the epic NY vs boston sports series.... Lol the uk version of boston. NY dominates boston smith by KO!!!

the virus canceling a fight has turned out to be a good thing for once as johnson will make for a better fight with smith jr. two offensive minded fighters with power! johnson gave beterbiev a good fight and dropped beterbiev in their fight before he got stopped.

does smith jr still fight danny jacobs afterwards? or was that deal never finalized? it would be weird to see jacobs fighting at light heavyweight he pretty much skipped right past 168lbs. he did not have a good showing against rosado.

You do know the Boston in the US was named after the Boston in England don't you? Haha.

Many places in the US took their names from cities in the UK.
