Good to see Smith getting some exposure. Good kid, good work ethic, still improving. Should lose but not without some interesting rounds. Looking forward to his next fight, and hopefully he can finally go full time.

Slow start in boxing, tactical style and strict diet... His "prime" extending into his 40s wasn't that big of a surprise.

50s are a different story. The decline will come swiftly.
