Callum Smith vs Erik Skoglund WBSS Quarter-final match RBR

ITV commentary is a load of Michael Knight.

 

gallagher symptoms

 

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

 

RD 1: 10-10
RD 2: 10-9 Smith
RD 3: 10-9 Smith

RD 5: 10-9 Skoglund
RD 6: 10-9 Skoglund
RD 7: 10-9 Skoglund
RD 8: 10-9 Smith

 

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.

 

Better from Smith.

4-4 even

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

 

Jack wouldve given smith nightmares!

 

Probably a very surprised crowd.

 

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.

 

Paul Smith is "world class" too...

 

Tocker pudwill put on better displays than this!!!

 

1 man on commentary just doesn't work.

 

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!
