Callum Smith devastating KO.

I think he beats DeGale.

DeGale is one of the more over-rated fighters in the sport. I don't think Smith is anything special, but he's a good, strong fighters.

It was a lovely shot.

You're ignoring the fact that Callum Smith looked average for long spells and allowed this fight to descend into a messy brawl at times. Against a fighter he was expected to knockout in a couple of rounds.

His opponent wasn't even a good domestic level fighter, Smith is mandatory for the WBC. I've seen fights less of a mismatch than this not get sanctioned.

Hearn is going to get a guy seriously hurt on one of his cards one of these days, it's only a matter of time. Dave Allen is literally a club fighter with about 10 fights and he put him in with Luis Ortiz...

I don't mind Hearn that much and i understand there's tune up fights, but some of his matchmaking borders on dangerous in my opinion.

No, I'm not. I'm just saying a man with that kind of KO power is always going to be dangerous no matter who he fights. That was a beautiful KO.

Was a great KO in terms of the timing of the shot, but the guy lunged into the punch with his chin in the air so that's always going to stun a lot more. Similar thing happened to Pac against Marquez.

Callum Smith is a good fighter and that hook was a thing of beauty, but he doesn't seem to take his tune up fights very seriously and ends up looking very unimpressive. He does however turn up for the big fights that matter, destroying that Hadillah Mohoumadi in the first round when DeGale went 12 with him.

I think DeGale beats Jack, fairly easily and then a very close fight between him and Smith. Winner Unify's the division against the winner of Groves/Chudinov... hopefully Groves

just for reference this guy was KO'd in 1 round V rocky fielding a British level fighter...

Gilberto Ramirez would KO both Groves and Chudinov. The WBO champ Gilberto Ramirez could be the best fighter in the division.
