[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Liam Smith became the first among his fighting brothers to capture a major title in the pro ranks, rallying from behind to knock out John Thompson in seven rounds in their vacant super welterweight title fight Saturday evening in Manchester, England.

Things looked bleak early on for Smith, who was inactive early in the fight, allowing the visiting Thompson to pile up points on the scorecards. The unbeaten 27-year old drew concerns from fans and viewers, wondering at what point he'd fight as if a world title was at stake.

Johnson fought like one of those guys you get in the early stages of your career on fight night who usually have names like Waldo Sanchez. And just throw and throw and throw and empty their stamina bar so you can bide your time and punch their chin off.

His workrate was insanity. You knew he would end up getting KO'd.

I was hoping Thompson would win....really nice guy and an artist, a really good artist at that.
