Smith, 6’3″, was unloading on Buatsi with highly effective pictures to the physique all the combat and taking return hearth with none points. Buatsi used a whole lot of stress to put on Smith down within the later rounds.
Smith got here again robust within the eleventh and twelfth to harm Buatsi with big pictures to the top and physique. Even in an exhausted state, Smith was punching very exhausting within the twelfth and had Buatsi out on his toes. I don’t understand how he stayed up as a result of he took some monstrous punches from Callum.
