Subriel Matias v Dalton Smith

[Denilson3.0]

Got this one completely wrong. Shows how much I know. The unpredictability of this sport makes it the best sport in the world.

To knock out a guy who has barely been down in his career is impressive , the stoppage was a bit british…..a bit quick. But Matias gets hit too much and it was always gonna catch up with him in the end. He's too goddamn macho for his own good.

I thought Smith simultaneously fought like a warrior and moron but it worked. If this went pass 6 nds I think Smith would have been in big trouble. But it was an all action beast

I could never get a read on Smith. I never knew how good he is. Now I do. He’s good but not that good. But he’s gonna be a hard fight for anyone. A bit like Ricky Hatton (RIP), you’re gonna have to be elite to beat him and maybe I'm underestimating him again coz he does not fight like that. Smith is usually a low volume counter puncher who likes to fight at a much lower pace. This was a one off where Smith or Smith's team decided to go toe to toe and bang it out with Mathias and went out to hurt him. And I get why because Mathias can overwhelm you if you use up your energy just avoiding him. Smith said that "Screw that" and went to war

The Adam Azim fight is out there and obvious. Hope they make it in their prime. And dont fk around like they did Khan Vs Brook where they both fought but neither was in their prime. The other world champs like Hitchens, that's a very tough matchup for Smith. Not because I think Hitchen is anything special. I just dont see Smith knocking out Hitchins and I dont think he out boxes him over the distance.

But I dont think we see Smith fight the other champions to be honest, certainly not in the next 18 mths. I see Smith's team and Eddie deciding to hold the WBC belt hostage in sheffield and fight the likes of Oscar Duarte, Jack Rafferty or Rolly Romero.
