    OK. Lets go through it step-by-step : Do you see on the video where Williams headbutts Smith?

    GGG: Saunders if serious enough could be the dark horse of the top boys at 160..Sneaky and slick af if 100%. Lemieux v Saunders will tell us a lot

    What are you trying to accomplish? You said Smith caused the cut, but yet on the video we can clearly see Williams causing the cut when he headbutted Smith. You're bad mouthing Smith and blaming him for the stoppage, which is wrong since he was the victim of a Williams headbutt, which caused Williams cut.

    I'm expressing my opinion on a forum from what I have seen from that fight.

    That's fine, I'm just trying to understand what you're seeing and what you're not seeing, and what is making you conclude that Smith caused the cut. I thought the replay I linked you to showed what happened pretty clearly.

    I don't think it does.

    Mine is not an uncommon opinion, it shouldn't come as a shock. If you believe otherwise then that's ok. The headbutt incident is a footnote in what my original point was which seems to have got lost. Smith thinks he won that fight convincingly, and he didn't.

    The replay shows Williams headbutting Smith, then shows Williams blinking and blood flowing out of his eyelid moments later. This was before Smith retaliated with a headbutt of his own.

    I agree with you that Smith didn't win the fight convincingly. Williams was ahead on the cards.

    Thurman vs. Spence: It's a hard matchup, Spence
    is naturally bigger than Keith with just as much power.
    He's a stalker and I question if Keith can push him back.

    Ward vs. Beterbiev: Ward's style is to mug and maul guys
    and that is physically impossible against the tank that is
    Beterbiev. Glad he retired.

    Lara vs. either Charlo: Lara is slowing down gradually and the
    last thing he needs is a twitch fiber guy with a monster chin
    and monster punch that can counter well.

    I like Gassiev a lot but if Usyk gets stopped I will be very feel and it is not the good kind of feel. I'm already pretty nervous, I'll probably have to do some serious mental preparations to be able to watch the fight without having a heart attack.

    I don't believe Crawford is afraid of Spence. That matchup has the potential to be legendary and both fighters understands that are willing to let it marinate.
    Now Keith "one time" thurman......that guy is scared shitless of Spence and Crawford.
