No he's not, other than having a what should have been a draw with a shot way past his prime AA, who has he beaten? Monroe beat Vera better than Chavez Jr. Bondrovas, Adams and Kopylenko all of whom are decent fighters to have on a resume.
If this wasn't one of MVC's designated deity fighters, it'd be Smith is a nobody who has no chance of winning a single round, none! If he wins even a minute of a round it'll be an absolute embarrassment for Ward!
Yep, but at least it's still world level experience. Willie and Paul are right around one another's level.
Losing to World level fighters at domestic level doesn't really count as getting smashed "domestic level".
