Pretty bad L for Hart considering all the hype around him avenging his mentors loss
Running and holding from the opening bell and somehow got outboxed by Smith
Def has to move back down. I read that he moved up cause he has to “feed his family” , after tonight whatever fan base he had is going get even smaller and his checks going be in the low 6 figures if that

Didn't think Smith was gonna pull out one more high-level win in his career :ehh:
He did good, he was aggressive, pretty much his usual self but against an opponent, he didn't respect at all.

Beterbiev knocks him out but the first few rounds could be interesting if Smith lands something big. Beterbeast is still the big favorite, better IQ, better punch repertoire, power, sense of distance and defense than Smith, matches Smith physically too, he won't be bullied on the inside, he is a very good inside fighter. The only department where Smith is better is chin probably.
