    He also looked much smaller, weaker, and slower.

    I also didn't understand why instead of circling to Smith's left he would pull straight back, and he was also following Smith instead of cutting off the ring.

    Really highlights how far gone he really was. The Prograis match ended him.

    Flanagan broke his shoulder and Smith broke his solar plexus. Zepeda just needs to stay away from brits.

    Some body shots you don't get up from. Didn't look like he was looking for a way out, I think that's doing him an injustice. That shot was bang in the solar plexus full bore.

    Yeah, it is what it is.

    Maybe Smiths camp knew more.

    I was worried for Smith. I think many of us were and it was looking like E-Hearn made a huge miscalculation in those first few rounds. Not sure how good Smith is but he was making a huge leap up in class tonight against a big punching crafty skilled customer who has mixed in way higher company than him so he deserves credit even if Zepeda is past his best

    Maybe, but I saw after round 2 he was fighting to survive. His body language was very telling.

    I think he knew he suddenly felt old and outgunned and just called it a day with the body shot.

    Prior to the body shot he got buzzed. I think he didn't want the work, just my opinion.

    Won't be surprised if he retires.
