Oooooof. Great bodyshot. If Smith keeps being as powerful as he looks as he moves into the upper echelons then maybe he can get away with being so backfoot- and counterpunch-dominant. Hooooorible plexus punch.
Really good finish from Smith and it will look very good on the resume, but I still have no idea of how good a win it actually is. Tough to project how you match Smith from here, I'd still be hesitant about putting him in with top 15 guys. Would guys like Ponce or Gollaz be potential fights next? Lots of danger in those, but really no turning back to domestic or even euro level now
You can tell Smith felt Zepeda's power because he kept his offense compact tonight. He literally FROZE Zepeda with a perfectly placed right to the body.

If I were Smith I'd push for the Azim fight right now, turn himself into as much of a domestic attraction as possible
