I think both appreciated the quiet 7th round. Smith needs to get back to that left to the body, Buatsi struggles with it clearly.

Smith filling a lot of Buatsi’s gaps where he rests well.
Winning him a lot of rounds just from that.

I have Smith 6-2, but I can still see late drama, Buatsi definitely in this, showing a hell of a chin.

Smiths short left hook is straight out of a textbook. It’s near on perfect

He’s one of the best tall fighters I’ve seen at being able to slug inside. Jamie McDonnell was another really tall guy who could mix it inside, it wasn’t a game changer if the opponent got inside on him.

These two might not be the best in the division, but you couldn’t ask for more grit.

Good 9th for Smith - Hunter's advice for Buatsi in the corner is great IMO.

Yeah his whole inside game is very good more so as he’s a very tall and rangy fighter

Smith hurt.
2 rounds and 1 minute to go I think there’s late drama.

Belting fight, Buatsi so tough but the better variety and classier work from Cal
7-3

Jesus wept this is why I love boxing.
Smith looked hurt most of the second half of the round and then lands absolutely huge roundhouses on Buatsi in the last 10 seconds.
Buatsi’s chin is unreal those are similar shots that absolutely pancaked highlight reel KOd some of Smiths other opponents.

Ultimately Buatsi has been too easy to hit, he has shipped a lot of hard shots here.
