    I’m not sold on him yet but sometimes a fighter needs the big fights to show the level they really are. Too tall and strong to fully write him off

    Is he finding the weight difficult I wonder?

    Up until the skoglund fight he had been absolutely flawless, now he seems gassed and completely powerless.

    Granted he had only fought bozos up until this Super six, but he really does look ordinary in his last two outings.

    For a guy who's been boxing all his life and is facing basically a guy who is new to boxing, smith should be doing a lot better against the Dutchman.

    He was very slow and boring in this fight. That jab is rangey but slow. I think groves will be too clever and quick for him

    Yes world class. His two hands went in the fight, do winning well under such circumstances isn't bad. I also personally think he had an issue with his right hsnd going into the fight as he hardly throw it, let alone with his normal power.

    Does the fundamentals very well but has not looked great recently. Holzken pretty much said he was rubbish in the post fight interview.

    This. His resume, for all the hype, is shocking.

    In the street he may well win but it's a boxing match. Guy done well but defensive though he fought in front foot as he only throw single punches then tucked in so hard to counter.

    Seems like a very dull guy in and out of the ring, i can imagine him knitting jumpers etc for his granny.
