Jason Sosa vs Stephen Smith
Jason Sosa vs Stephen Smith
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.

Re: Jason Sosa vs Stephen Smith
This is a fight I can see Smith winning.
Sosa has a punch but can be outboxed.

Can see Sosa edging Smith in a decent fight.

Re: Jason Sosa vs Stephen Smith
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?Boxing Prospect wrote: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
Re: Jason Sosa vs Stephen Smith
Corrales is WBA champion
Re: Jason Sosa vs Stephen Smith
Yafai vs Concepcion is signed, dunno where it lands tho. Bit strange if on the same card in Monaco.
Re: Jason Sosa vs Stephen Smith
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.

Re: Jason Sosa vs Stephen Smith
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.

Re: Jason Sosa vs Stephen Smith
Stephen Smith is the betting favourite which surprised me.
Re: Jason Sosa vs Stephen Smith
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 limitedFitzy901 wrote:Is Jezreel Corrals any good, hears a few people say Sosa is the better fighter out of the two WBA Champions.
Re: Jason Sosa vs Stephen Smith
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.

Re: Jason Sosa vs Stephen Smith
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.
Re: Jason Sosa vs Stephen Smith
Corrales and Uchiyama have got a rematch in place now right?
