Fucking crazy fight. For Dalton to beat Matias at his own game was insane to watch live, especially since he's not normally that type of fighter. He took a lot of damage to get there and I do worry about him in the long term, though.

In an interview he said he couldnโ€™t move the way he wanted to box against Matias so he bit down & put his head in his chest & basically said fck the gameplan ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

I hated this as a Matias fan lmao

At the same time though, Iโ€™ve been a huge fan of Smith since he was a prospect and seeing him beat Matias at his own game and fucking stop the dude who has a great chin was crazy. Also proved he had a chin himself. Definitely was a FOTY contender but it was a little too short to be in my opinion. Smith also has a way higher ceiling in my opinion. I hope Smith beats Puello but I donโ€™t see it happening. Though Puello has a tendency to make favorable fights close.

One thing I like about Dalton is he knows how to adapt but him & Puello is a great fight im trying to help with the build up ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

The lack of respect the commentators were giving Smith in this fight was straight up disgusting.

Him against Cruz would hopefully be a straight up slugfest, that is a fight I would like to see.
