Joe Smith Jr v Maxim Vlasov 4/10 ESPN

[Spicoli]

Hate to do it but have little hope for the Ajagba train. Into 2nd with Howard. He's just so mechanical and stiff, very little natural fluidity. Howard clipping him in these ugly mauling clinches. Guess OK has opened up for full fan compacity looks like a decent crowd.

[Spicoli]

Howard left on all fours and done after Ajagba drills him with a massive straight right hand, one and done! That's what he needed to do. Man that was an ugly KO

[Spicoli]

Consider the opponent but that was a nasty nasty ko. Howard looked like a puppet that had his strings cut. Literal collapse and o.u.t.

[Spicoli]

Main event time. Do Americans even watch boxing anymore. This should actually be a solid fight.

[Spicoli]

Nice 1st for Vlasov with the jazz-hands Sergio Martinez impression, feints Smith out of position once or twice. Closes strong and leaves Smith winging a left hand blindly.

[Spicoli]

Vlasov landing cleanly and Smith now cut left eye. Ohhh big right hand stops Vlasov for a moment but he's back on it. Smith is in some deep waters in just the 2nd. Vlasov leaving himself dangerously open when he throws left off the hip. Another shot catches him and stands him still at rounds end.

[Spicoli]

Ok not full fan capacity at all but hey it's a start. Ref on Smith again for back of the head. Sneaky uppercut clips Smith inside and Smith at times looks like a guy trying to catch a firefly. Round 3 Vlasov
