    After he outboxed Makabu thoroughly for the first 6 rounds and almost KO'd him first.

    If Smith wasn't the kind of guy Hops usually chewed up and spit out, I'd be more concerned. Even if he's slipped so much that Smith wins, I don't think he'll take a ton of punishment.

    Most likely after he figures Smith out somewhere in the middle rounds.

    Missed Usyk but know he got the KO (had to watch my Blues choke against the ****ing Blackhawks,) this Garcia vs Diaz fight is gonna be a good one I got that feeling.

    You are overstating things a little but Mchunu is a top CW. He was the favorite going into his bout with Makabu. Looks great but not Mayweather great. People just don't know what they are looking at. That was a match between two top ten guys. The so called "best fighting the best", fighters taking hard opponents. Maybe, not a 50/50 fight since Usyk was heavily favored, but that was still some solid matchmaking.

    Actually was unfortunate it wasn't available live anywhere. Kind of ruined the fight for me tbh, watched it but already knew results so it took off a lot of lustre. Would have been epic if we all watched it live. Damn South AFrica fights haha.
