    Smith did an amazing job tonight but I dont see him knocking out Hitchins and I dont think he out boxes him over the distance

    However, I predicted Matias by KO tonight so I obviously DKSAB

    I think Hitchens, and obviously Stevenson, are very tough matchups for Smith. Hitchens wins by decision. Smith is probably even money against everyone else.

    Hitchins probably still beats Smith, despite the fact that he is unbelievably boring to watch; he has brilliant fundamentals, and I can see him frustrating Dalton to a UD.

    I dont think we see Smith fight the other Champions to be honest. I see him holding the belt in Sheffield and just taking on challengers.

    Homecoming vs Sandor Martin
    Defence vs a Puello or a Duarte
    Sell out Hillsborough vs Adam Azim

    Move up to 147

    Smith would beat the crap out of Rolly and Garcia but he'd probably lose to Haney due to styles as much as i don't like him

    Are you guys forgetting the Lemos fight? If he fights like a dawg like he did today I give him a chance

    Unfortunately I concur with someone else’s thoughts, they’ll probably try to make stadium fights in the UK against challengers, Hearn will rinse the belt for as long as possible knowing the British fans will turn out in numbers regardless. I’d be happy with Pitbull as a minimum.

    If Azim keeps on pulling out with his chin in the air against world class opposition, which hes still yet to fight, hes getting KTFO and hes made for a counter puncher like Smith.

    Smith likes to counter-punch off the back foot and create openings behind that ramrod jab of his. I quite like his style and he put on a stellar display against Matias last night but he simply doesn't handle movers well, since he's not especially good at fighting off the front foot and having to close the distance himself. Hitchins and Shakur would capitalise on that quite badly for Dalton I think, but guys like GAR, Hiraoka, Valenzuela, Pitbull, or even Teo are guys Dalton would have a decent chance against.

    Hitchins shouldn't even be a world champion he not only clearly lost to Lemos in his own backyard to 'earn' his shot at the belt who was predictably robbed blind by Hitchins three corrupt home judges and the equally corrupt home referee who allowed Hitchins to hold like an octopus all night without deducting a single point from him for doing so when he should've been DQ'd for it it was that egregious. Even the extremely biased commentary team who had been trying their best to create a narrative from the outset that Hitchins was winning and outboxing Lemos couldn't deny reality anymore come the end of the fight and they all scored the fight for Lemos.

    Even Claressa Shields who was part of the commentary team and was literally barking instructions to Hitchins during the fight whilst mic'd up mid commentary scored the fight to Lemos for goodness sake

    And then Hitchins shamelessly ducked the champ Matias like he had leprosy and got Paro to do his dirty work for him

    And then after Paro ie. the champ did his dirty work for him he ducked fighting Paro in his country

    Boring as hell zero honour have gloves won't travel female dog human octopus clearly lost to Lemos, shamelessly ducked Matias, and doesn't deserve to be a champ or to share a ring with real men and road warriors like Lemos, Paro, and Smith

    And let me just remind you not only did his home ref and 3 home judges rob Lemos blind one of them scored the fight 117-111 to him

    Smith is the real champ and he calls the shots and if Hitchins wants at shot as his belt he has to come to Sheffield and fight him on a deck stacked with a home ref and three home judges except we don't do that over here and Hitchins wouldn't come in a million years if we did even if you offered him all the money in the world
