A former title challenger, Smith presently stands at No. 12 within the Gentle Heavyweight ranks after his pretty latest loss to Middleweight’s Roman Dolidze. “Lionheart” tried to show a short-notice alternative into 205-pound momentum, but it surely backfired within the type of an unsightly defeat.
