Who should Dalton Smith face in his upcoming fights?

I'd back Dalton to beat Azim. Though I don't think either will win a world title.

Azim has chin problems. I heard today that Paddy Donovan knocked down Azim twice in sparring. And that swarthy Ukrainian featherfist wobbled Azim too.

 

I'd favour Dalton to beat Azim defo.

Azim will get better as he gets more experience but his defence could be better, he's got reasonably fast feet which is definitely a good thing to have but if he ever comes across a really good pressure fighter or someone with reach on him with just average power then I think his chin will crack.

There seems to be a rumour going about, regarding his chin. And if it's true, which I may be inclined to believe, then that may be the thing that makes him a lot of money but not a great fighter.
Would love to see him in with any euro lvl fighter. Enock Poulson ain't bad tbh but he hasn't got much pop. And he's been out a bit with an injury.
I once spoke to someone who sparred him quite a few times when he was getting ready for his EBU and he also knows Dalton. he said Dalton would probably stop Poulson
Azim will be matched carefully but pushed too quickly, at some point he will have to fight a real threat and it'll be a case of how much experience he's absorbed at that time to get him through it.
A bit like they did with Yarde.
And it's fair enough imo

 

Not fights that would probably happen bit I'd like to see him in there maybe with ohara Davies or that type of calibre.
I agree that Smith beats Adam Azim too I feel like he has more about him in a tense 12 round fight.
You could also get him maybe an old war horse from the lightweights bit like what ohara Davies is doing this weekend in ismael barrosso
Loads of good matchups for Dalton Smith.

 

Golden Boy’s plan is for Ohara to either get upgraded to full champion or beat Romero for the belt in a few months and then him fight Ryan Garcia.

I’d like to see Dalton Smith fight someone like Robbie Davies Jr or even Lewis Ritson. Maybe match him with Sandor Martin 1 or 2 fights after.

 

Sandor Martin in two fights time is interesting. Probably not great matchmaking as its a tough fight against a guy no one knows outside of purists.
Y3s I hear that about Davies. Quite interesting him against romero

 

Sandor Martin would beat Smith comfortably even in a couple of fights. Very underrated fighter. People forget that he beat Teofimo Lopez. Basically the Spanish version of Jack Catterall.

 

2 fights after his next one is probably 15-18 months away. Dalton will be 28 and should be approaching that level by then.

The Lopez fight was close. Could have gone either way but I thought Lopez edged it.

 

Poulsen doesn't have a 'really good amateur record' what the hell are you talking about lol. I follow amateur boxing and I'd never even heard of him in the amateurs.

and he'd toy with your boy Adam as well

 

I only consider a 'good amateur' to have done things like medalled at the main tournaments like the Olympics, World championships, Europeans, or at least qualified for the Olympics. Poulson never did nothing like that, looking at his record every decent fighter he fought he lost to.

You clearly have lower standards than me.

 

@Boris Wang
I understand why you have low standards considering South Asian males record in boxing is
only 1 single world champ ever (in a sport of 17 weightclasses and 4 belts per weight)
1 single European champion ever ( just this weekend)
0 british champs
in the amateurs 0 Olympic gold medalists ever, 0 world championship gold medalists ever, etc. etc.

You literally couldn't be any worse at boxing.
