Because fonfara was prime, confident coming off a serious beatdown of chavez jr he was literally in the best mental condition going into that fight he'd also hurt and outworked a top 10 fighter in cleverly, and Smith ko'd that man in 1 round, whilst stevenson couldnt finish him. Its just something to look at........... :huh
Possibly, but at this point in time we don't know. Will have to see how Smith's power is against more world level fighters. I have never put too much stock into first round KO's.
Like I said before the chinny Fonfara is a sucker for overhand rights, his long ass giraffe neck bobbles around to and fro when anyone lands a decent overhand, so if you have a modicum of power and land that shot, his ass goes down like a ton of bricks. That's why I was 100% behind Joe for the upset, however if Stevenson's power was in an overhand right instead of his straight left, he would have probably KO'd Fonfara cold. But it is a distinct possibility that Joe has as much power in that punch as Stevenson has in his.
