    Not really imo. But all the guys who did cautiously win every round for 5 against Matias got stopped in the end. He fought messy, traded, gave up a couple, and in the end destroyed him.

    Even though Smith looked uncomfortable and was struggling with the pressure he was landing huge shots every round and it came down to a battle between his gas tank and Matias' chin and Matias' chin gave out first. Smith's gas tank would've highly likely lost the battle at some point had he not been able to get him out of there but you can't keep getting hit that often with clean full power bombs again and again from a puncher

    That was a looping right to back of head. Matias was kind of ducking when SMith threw punch

    No defense by Matias. Too macho. Smith has too much pop to do that. Any of the other champs will bust Smith up.

    What a win for the sport, an all action beast, with an incredible to watch style. Losing to a gropy low output counter punching dullard, with the personality of a dead skunk. :rolleyes:

    It's weird when you have one of those feelings you know what it's like. All logic and common sense points in the other direction but you just have this funny feeling inside that all that will go out the window on the night

    I do think Smith has been underrated, including by myself, but I watched more footage of him and I started to really see the talent. The knock on him is not letting his hands go enough, when he does he looks real quality but I didn't envisage him winning in the manner he did. I thought he might be able to hurt Matias with educated counters coming in but going to war with him, especially not knowing how good his gas tank would be fighting at a pace he's never fought at, would be a very risky and dumb tactic but Smith beat him at his own game which no one suspected

    I give Smith a lot of credit. He got the job done. He was seriously hurt in round 2. But Matias was stupid, almost not even trying to avoid the big shots Smith was throwing. Matias does this but he can usually weather the storm. When Smith runs into someone who matches his defense with his offense, he will get KO'd. He is a KO waiting to happen. He really does remind me of Ricky Hatton, in that way.
