owl71 Posted July 1, 2023 Posted July 1, 2023 In almost complete control all the way through. Cuts over both eyes due to clashes of heads. Only difference they made was Smith became more aggressive because he obviously didn’t want to win by technical decision. Think he’s done with domestic level. Quote
Reesh Posted July 1, 2023 Author Posted July 1, 2023 The sportsmanship by Smith after the knockdown was welcoming to see as well, easy to get carried away in the moment. Nice interview after as well. 1 Quote
Laceups Posted July 2, 2023 Posted July 2, 2023 Hopefully a big future for the lad. Big talent and comes across as a very down to earth bloke. Quote

I’ve always had question marks about his power, which when you get beyond European level, you need, as fighters do a far better job of closing the gap, and also carry power themselves. He showed he had some pop last night in both hands. What I really like about him is that, he’s technically and fundamentally very very good. He’s got great feet, good speed, brilliant at judging distance, and very disciplined in his work. He’s also a very fit boy. Some interesting dust-ups available. Ohara Davies being one although he’s got a world title shot soon. It’s a bit too soon for Jack Caterall and Josh Taylor (Taylor will move up anyway). He could look at Ritson and Davies Jr as a step up. There are a whole host of Mexicans out there too. 1 Quote
Reesh Posted July 2, 2023 Author Posted July 2, 2023 I also like he's not letting Eddie Hearn dictate to him, he has a set up that works for him The cuts are a worry and that one last night on the right eye was fucking ugly but they managed it, Maxwell looked ring rusty but you can only beat whats in front of you.

It was a nasty one wasn't it.... The corner managed it, and I think Dalton himself managed it well, keeping Maxwell away from it for a round or so after it happened. 1 Quote

I thought Maxwell looked his sharpest opponent to date. As for not letting Hearn dictate, that’s his dads department, top bloke and trainer. Anyone know if Grant ever boxed himself at pro level? Why was the cut man and scouser arguing after the KO? Working on the door at Niche, where next Dempseys? Nah Grant didn't do much https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/the-big-interview-grant-smith-the-man-who-came-back-from-the-dead-to-create-champion-boxers-437516 Quote
Reesh Posted July 2, 2023 Author Posted July 2, 2023 He's pointing over and it carries on when their lad gets in the ring. Quote
Ozzie Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 Notice the ***** with the drum and trumpet rolled up to ruin another sport. Despise those twats. They're like uncle Albert, we were doing well until they appeared 1 Quote
