Yea that was an odd performance from Powell though. I wouldn't say was outclassed at all, more outworked.. He boxed pretty well early on, won a couple rounds and was hitting Ouma with really nice clean punches.. THen it's as if he just fell off with his gameplan and stopped fighting the same way.. My point was though, when he did let his hands go and box, Id say he even looked to have more class than Ouma.. He just didn't keep up with him at all and got outworked big time down the stretch. Ill agree with you against Smith though, I think if Powell can show up focused and box he'll take a UD.
