    Pedraza is a class act.

    Has a genuinely interesting style. Smith did live with him and might have won 4 rounds - so he can compete at that level. Smith would do better against a world champ who wasn't so good and awkward basically.

    I would like to see Pedraza against anyone. He's made a fan out of me. Classy operator and very clean too. There is no messy stuff at all from him. This fight really shows what an absolute shocker he had against Edner Cherry.

      Pedraza looked huge compared to Smith. He looked like a junior welter in there. I think if they were the same size, Smith could have been big trouble for Pedraza. The size advantage he had among other things, was just a bit too much for Smith to over come. It was a good fight though.

        What other things? Home town edge? US is neutral. Smith said he didn't expect his fans to go to Puerto Rico, so he got his wish.

          Other things like length/reach, height. Smith looked good to me, he just couldn't hurt Pedraza. I was pulling for him to win, but he still put up a good fight in a loss.
