Jason Sosa vs Stephen Smith

Post by broomy7s »

November 12th in Monaco I believe. Another shot for swifty. Sosa came into my view after getting a draw with Walters. Hopefully Smith has learnt from the Pedraza fight and can be the 2nd Smith brother to pick up a world tittle. Tough fight tho and hard to call.

This is a fight I can see Smith winning.

Sosa has a punch but can be outboxed.

Seen rumour of McDonnell vs Warren and Yafai vs Concepcion for the same card...would be a solid but odd one... Yafai vs Concepcion also rumoured for the AJ vs TBA show

What's the chances of both being on the AJ card?

Yafai vs Concepcion is signed, dunno where it lands tho. Bit strange if on the same card in Monaco.

This is simply a must win fight for Smith imo, I can't see where he can go if he loses this scrap.

I don't think he is big or strong enough to move up to lightweight.

Good fight

Sosa is a bit crude, but he's also very strong and has shown ample toughness and resolve against two of the division's biggest punchers. Smith can win, but I think it will be very tough for him regardless.

Stephen Smith is the betting favourite which surprised me.

Is Jezreel Corrals any good, hears a few people say Sosa is the better fighter out of the two WBA Champions.

Corrales looked smoking hot against Uchiyama,looked a lot more controlled against Rodriguez, talented kid. Sosa, to me, is a tough guy but pretty limited

Corrales is faster and more skillfull than Sosa. He can also seem to punch much harder than his stoppage ratio suggests (won his last 6 by KO/TKO and destroyed Uchiyama), although I don't know what his durability is like. Sosa doesn't seem as talented, but he's clearly strong and determined, and from the Froch-mold of being able to break more gifted fighters.

I'd probably edge Corrales being better, but Sosa is still a good fighter.

From what I have seen Corrales has an awkward style that is hard to time or predict, so he can land effective hurtful shots because they're coming from unexpected angles.

Corrales and Uchiyama have got a rematch in place now right?
