smith fights to his level of opposition a bit, his best performances have been vs guys better then holzken imo and hes known to look a bit flat with unchallenging opponents

Valiant effort. Could not deal with the jab. Very tough though. Think Callum is a good boxer but nothing much More than that at this stage.

Holzken has good defense. Hard to tag clean with anything powerful. He also has really good short left hook. Fast and powerful with great technique. He also does that Lomo style combo where he pushes the opponents guard down with left hand and then bangs with the right. He was able to catch Smith with that at least once.

Holzken was not able to close the gab against Smith and got jabbed to wide points loss.

Still good showing from him. With bit more training he could become really good boxer. Too bad that hes starting to be bit too old for that. He also looked really small compared to Smith. Maybe he would need to go down one weight class?
