Could be due to the huge increase in weight over the last year, he probably hasn't adjusted to it yet.
Unlucky Smith he might still qualify though, think he could of won that easy if he wanted too but he let the Azeri catch him with stupid shots.
I thought he should have won there, can't see that lad who beat him beating the turk in the final so looks like he won't qualify for the olympics.
He should've gotten a bigger lead in the beginning, but when it was even after the first round he didn't adjust to it. He continued doing the same and getting countered by unnecessary punches on the inside. If only he could use more movement. Especially since he's new at the weight.
I only seen round 2 and 3, and based on them it was a close fight (which was reflected in the scorecards). But apparently he got dicked in round 1..
It wasn't exactly a bad robbery, it was quite a close fight which could have gone either way. Smith was too easy to hit.
