Smith has good overall solid skills, but this nikka just doesn't fight with enough passion an intensity to win the close fights. He'll be competitive with just about anybody, but for some reason he can't dig deep during the moments of truth. This nikka barely beat K9. He needed help from the ref and a little promoter favoritism to get that win. Somebody with his skills and experience should have put a lop-sided schooling on K9, but instead we got a ugly competitive back in forth type mash up. I mean Joel Julio (another nikka Ishe lost to in a close fight) didn't struggle half as much with K9. It's amazing how so many cats didn't want to take that damn belt away from that nikka.
I expect Molina to be all over dude with his ugly ass Dr. Octopus boxing style and basically out work him in a fight everyone wishes they didn't have to see.
