Styles make fights, I think dalton has all the tools to control him, break him down, and stop him peds or not.
Smith loses quite badly to Matias; it's a horrible matchup for him. I can see a stoppage in the second half of the fight after Smith is outworked in a brutal back-and-forth in the first half of the fight.
He's not just gonna walk him down with no jab. Lol. Matias gonna have a jab in his face all night. If he gets past it he's getting hit to the body. We will see how eager he is to just rush in. Might run into something and sleep.
I think Dalton stops him down the stretch He might not have many fans but he is a world champ in the making
I think Smith has bitten off more than he can chew here; the fight will probably be a great back and forth affair for the first few rounds, but ultimately Matias, who is surely the biggest puncher in the division, will grind Smith down. If Smith pulls it off I am more than willing to give him his dues, but I just don't see it.
I know it can go tits up by facing too many decent challengers whilst waiting for a shot (Joe Parker springs to mind) but Smith has been really inactive and against poor opposition.
Liam Paro showed the blueprint in how to beat Matias. Dalton just needs to do the same. Easier said than done, but I slightly favour Dalton for the win.
I mean who would pay £41.95 for that fight. I can only see family members doing such a thing and even then they'd all chip in and watch in one room together. Such a waste.
