Old Hopkins exposed weaknesses. Smith has no defense against the lead right hand. Barrera couldn't miss with the right hand and that's bad news. He would have never had a chance against Stevenson with such open defense.

Barrera sucks. It's just Smith does too. Who has Barrera "outboxed"? Shabbransky and Smith, two of the slowest, least skilled guys to ever fight on HBO. Yes they have power but Barrera being a counter puncher, their styles were perfect for him. Just like Barrera facing a fellow counter puncher in Ward was the worst style for him, and he was never going to win that, but you want to give Ward all this credit?
If Kovalev does fight Barrera, remember this comment, Kovalev will absolutely dominate him. Outboxing Joe Smith does not make Barrera a great boxer LOL. You Ward fanboys are too much man.Comment

Serious questions.
Why was Smith dancing around and retreating with his terrible footwork all fight?
Why was Smith not throwing the right hand?
I didn't necessarily expect him to win because I know Barrera is a solid boxer, but those elements of his performance just annoyed the hell out of me.Comment

Yep. Great post manWe know Smith has a nice backstory but so does Barrera and seeing his dad for the first time in ages. And you have to go through hell to get to the US from Cuba so lets get behind guys like these, both these guys. Smith can still do nice things and Barrera keeps showing his pedigree.Comment

How the fook was this a 10 rd fight for wbc belt? That was some bs if you ask me. Wouldnt have changed the outcome but it was weird for sure. And i havent heard any talk about itComment

Barrera is a good fighter. The first Ward fight was too decisive for a rematch though.
Don't know what Ward does aside from Stevenson and hoping Beterbiev picks up A LOT of steam in the next 12 monthsComment
