I've allways assumed that Smith may have been robbed by pedantic refereeing in this fight, by Corri rigidly sticking to the letter of the boxing law. This account gives a different slant on it ,stating that the 20 year old ,170lbs ,Frenchman was in front by superior boxing,though the hard hitting Smith was always dangerous. Carpentier had Smith down for a count of seven before the dsq stoppage. Carpentier seems to have made a meal of the low punch , a blow that was almost certainly unintentional , but that is no novelty in boxing.
