Interesting matchup and I like it. I was surprised to see Hart dominate Barrera, not sure if Barrera's mileage caught up to him or Hart is stronger at 175 (or a combination of both). Barrera beat Smith but that's not the whole picture.

Smith has a helluva set of whiskers and if he can land a big shot, I wonder how Hart holds up to it. I think it will be tough for him to land that shot but who knows. Probably Hart by UD but could be Smith by late KO. I'm waffling on this one...

Good fight for both men and should be fan-friendly. Smith needs it more though as he seems to have dropped out of the rankings, while Hart is well into the top 15 of each sanctioning body so a bit of a risk on his part.

Hart has only got a punchers chance if it goes distance Smith wins easy. TR does all they can making Hart a paper champ or in this case contender. Their beast has beaten Hart twice but TR has some hidden animosity toward the champ and continue to keep him down untill they finally sabatoge the kid for good! Well if they are waiting for a Hart vs Rameriz 3, I guess that will be all Zurdo will be known for. Talk about a waste of tallent! Never seen a promoter avoid capitalizing on the best fighter they have in their stable on pourpose. And to all you paper tiger believers, PLEASE don't insult yourself's with any reference to Crawford! It will only show your ignorance.
