    How did you rate it? What did he do well and what does he need to work on?

    More back-foot work is needed MASSIVELY, IMHO. Callum kind of looked clueless in there when pushed back.

    More combo work as well I'd say. Fantastic shot placement and very good power, but more combos wouldn't go a miss.

    Anyone else think the size difference was a bit too much? Not long till Callum is fighting in the LHW Division. The kid is massive for SMW.

    Enjoyable fight, though.

    Nice kid, gets hit by average fighters.

    British level then a mandatory for a world title at which point he will be smashed to pieces in a fight 'everyone would have taken'.

    Sky commentary was making out as if the guy was Oliver mcall,jake la motta n chuvalo rolled into one. Smith made him look very durable definitly got his attention with his power but he did not look the ko artist he has looked against lesser opposition.

    I'm no expert on the biosse but just going off boxrec he's been knocked down several times stopped three times against fighters who are not exactly killers.

    It's still early days for smith he's still young I really hope he can go all the way I just don't think he ll be at the elite level Hearn was talking about in a year to 18 months like he predicted
