Joe Smith jr. Is a hard puncher no doubt. Probably the hardest hitter at light heavy . Smith jr. While having more punching power than Alvarez. Is technically flawed in his offense . of course maybe i am underating Smith we will see tonight . Alvarez with his speed and counter punching will stop smith in 8 rounds or less. I believe putting a boxer puncher like Alvarez in with a brawler come forward fighter like Smith .just increases the chances of Smith getting stopped. Yes smith can catch Alvarez in exchanges with one shot and end it . however i think Smith is missing the speed and accuracy to land clean on Alvarez enough to stop him . it would not surprise me if smith knocked down alvarez. Dropping Alvarez and knocking him out are two different things. Smith come forward style will only increase his chances of getting knocked out quicker by alvarez Alvarez will counter smith coming in with better boxing ability and speed and stop smith in 5 rounds or less Alvarez. 5 rounds or less Whats your prediction?
