I give him 100% credit for defeating Hopkins. However, the way he defeated Hopkins was dirty and disrespectful.
While Joe Smith was unloading a barrage of punches, Hopkins had no where to go and was basically in a turtle shell. After maybe the 4th or 5th punch, Hopkins was starting to fall backwards outside of the ring and then Joe Smith throws a completely unnecessary one last shot to Hopkins' mug. It seemed as if Smith purposely wanted Hopkins to fall out of the ring which is kind of a b*tch move knowing that your opponent is 51 years old.
On top of that, Smith celebrated like he didn't give a **** and showed no concern for Hopkins, a legend in the sport.
Imagine if a young Tyson fought an old Ali, Tyson would've have destroyed Ali but then he'd kiss him at the end of the fight.
