Tony Bellew vs. Julio Cesar Dos Santos & Nathan Cleverly vs. Alejandro Valori RBR

Callum Smith vs. Vladine Biosse, 10 rounds @ super middleweight

 

Round 1

Smith is picking off Biosse's right jab on his left glove, peering down at the much shorter Cape Verdean. Smith doubles a jab and moves in with a right uppercut on the lungs. Biosse is backed into the ropes, jabbing with Smith and getting stung as Smith's is longer and sharper and quicker to reach target. Wide looping lefts thrown overhead by Biosse, missing and countered with long rights atop the head from Smith.

10-9 Smith

 

Round 2

Biosse is sticking the right jab and getting countered with left jabs and right crosses. Smith's reach and speed advantages proving key. Biosse is knocked into the ropes by a triple 1-2. Smith is headhunting with straights as Biosse ducks and strafes. Wide hooks up top by Biosse trying to set up a clinch. Left hook from head to body by Smith. Biosse sits on the middle rope, probably held up by it for a moment unseen by the ref. Right jab put up by Biosse and he pays for it, hit with a 1-2 and knocked into the ropes. Biosse is looking vulnerable. Smith bounces a few left jabs off Biosse's mouth and bowls in a right uppercut on the lower lung. Left hook downstairs by Smith. Right jab and big line drive left by Biosse, seeking Smith's chin but shy a few inches. Lunging double right jab by Biosse sliding forward off the ropes. Biosse misses a right jab as Smith takes a step back and has his own left jab stunted as a result.

10-9 Smith

20-18 Smith

 

Callum needs to stop him. He does have twelve rounds to get the job done.

Unlike his brother's assignment earlier, a routine decision won't suffice.
