Early attack
The 33-year-old GLANTON remained at the beginning of Billiam-Smith at the beginning of the fight, connecting with miniature blows with the head and body of the former master. Glanton’s physical strength worried Billiam-Smith because he was not mighty enough to deal with wrestling tactics.
Already in the first round, Chris looked exhausted as if he had gone the whole fight and his eyes showed swelling of weighty blows. After six rounds I had Glanton up 4-2. He defeated the stuffing from Billiam-Smith and did not let him land as he wanted.
The results are 116-113, 116-112 and 116-112. I had it for Billiam-Smith 115-113. He won, but barely. Pressure and difficult blows of GLANTON were a pure nightmare for him, especially in the 12th round, when he went to knockout. He had a former master on the run, trying to survive.
On the fifth Glanton he was marked by a law that he got his head. It seemed that he was in danger of falling, but somehow he remained. Billiam-Smith returned strongly in the sixth round, nailing Glanton with his right hand, causing that he lost his foot for a second. It is not clear whether it was from a blow or a slippery ring. Either way, it was a challenging shot that Billiam-Smith hit him.
Billiam-Smith looked as if he improved the action in rounds 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11. Glanton took most of the first six, and then returned strongly in the twelve round, landing much more strongly against the tired Billiam-Smith.
Uncommon
It was not a kind of performance that Billiam-Smith had to show that he returned from his loss to Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez in November last year. He looked as if he was on his way to knocking out through Glanton early tonight and again seemed that he lost most of the first six.
