Smith Jr on win Geffrard

Just a few hours ago the bout between Smith Jr and Geffrard ended in New York, which went on for nine rounds, and was the first official defense of his WBO light heavyweight title,

Smith dominated the fight far and wide; jab hook wide his right, with an opponent who seemed too passive from the start, but still carried on his work in the ring. He cashed many blows, he put back and together they gave life to one of those meetings that people like, exchanges with a certain continuity until the ninth, the referee decided to end the challenge after a hard series of Smith.Tecnica basic continuity good exchanges with a continuity that made the match enjoyable, a challenge a little years 70-80 where the strongest, determined constant has won.

The boy represents the capable man who does not have enormous boxing skills, but thanks to perseverance, to a fair path and a dedication beyond the ordinary has become world champion, and yesterday he defended the title, there is talk of challenges with Bertebiev (we strongly discourage it) of a rematch with Bivol and begin to circulate rumors (according to us interesting for audience and turn of money) of a match with Canelo, we would really like this.

We will be curious to see what will happen to this American boy who really represents the American dream come true, we like Smith and he gives a show, but we know that he cannot compete with the strongest, he is a step below, but he is one of those boxers who make us remember that dreams can come true.
