    ITV commentary is a load of Michael Knight.

    I'm sorry for not giving better analysis, i'm a little too lazy to do it.

    5-3 to Smith, looked better in that round and landed some shots which clearly got Skoglunds attention.

    Smith tried to go back to basics that round with the jab, what he needed to do.

    Skoglund just needs to land a bit more then the jab, some eye catching shots some more and he can get a decision here.

    Round 1: Missed thanks to ITV problems!
    Round 2: Smith
    Round 3: Smith
    Round 4: Smith
    Round 5: Skoglund
    Round 6: Skoglund
    Round 7: Skoglund
    Round 8: Skoglund close


    That was better from Smith but he just can't get out the way of the Skoglund jab. Maybe Skoglund is tiring a little?

    Smith manages to right the ship a bit in the 8th, working his own jab pretty well and mixing a few power shots. Skoglund had success of his own with the jab but the power shots give Callum the frame on my card.

    I did not expect the toughness of the swede. After 4 rounds plenty would have given up.

    I picked Smith but now am cheering Skoglund!
