Joe Smith Jr...!!! Nobody picked him to win. He's American so he wasn't supposed to win. Those of you who are still eating the crow need to give the man his due. He has true power. After the first big right hand landed I said, "OH MY GOD"......it's OVER! I mean it was a first round tko too! Someone said that this fight takes away from Stevensons win over Fonfara. Get the **** out of here with that. This is professional boxing. Terry Norris knocked John Mugabi out in 1 round, and Hagler went 11 tough rounds with Mugabi. No, losses don't take away from wins. This is the only sport where a **** riding boxing fan would utter such nonsense. Give Joe Smith Jr his props. He is crude, but he is real and I like him. That's the type of true power that I haven't seen in a minute. Wow!!! Now that is what you call heavy hands!
Hats off to him I wish him the best hopefully he can go on to do even bigger things. That was a tremendous shot he hit fonfara with. I hope American boxing fans get behind this guy because I am.
Smith jr vs beterbiev would be fireworks. Hes got that herky jerky style that pascal uses but with 1 punch knockout power. If kovalev gets caught with one of those it could be lights out.
I'm gutted by the Fonfara KO. Hope he bounces back. He shoukd chase an immediate rematch to prove it was a fluke!
Kudos to Joe Smith Jr. For me guys like him make this sport the greatest of all. He came into that fight a distinct underdog. No one gave him a chance. he said before the fight how he thought he could win it then he went ahead and did it. Credit to to Fonfara for accepting defeat like a man. I wish Joe Smith the best in his career I'll be watching him closely I like him
I knew Fonfara's bad habit of not keeping his hands up would cost him on day. Joe Smith and his team did their homework.
I was impressed that he didn't get over excited once he had Fonfara hurt. Kept his spacing and his punches flowing. Seems like a good guy too, kinda shy in his interview.
Joe rocked his ass to the core and then proceeded to pound him into submission. I guess Fonfara wasn't gonna let Szpilka outdo him for the highlight reel.
