it was so close I thought Vlasov is winning the fight until the final two rounds he losses steam going through that last two rounds of the fight and Smith Jr. dominated the last two rounds for the majority decision, it's a good and very close fight, it deserves a rematch.

Yes, this one deserves a rematch but I think Smith's camp will go for another boxer here like Beterbiev.
But more than likely, Vlasov will ask for a rematch here. That was really a close one.
A lot are upset as they thought the fight should at least be a draw.
Well, it was based on judges' call, so just accept their decision.
Looking forward who will be the next opponent for Smith and Vlasov.

For me Smith Jr, won the match the fight is close but Smith Jr sealed it in the last two rounds, the last two rounds are the championship rounds whenever the fight is too close to call, and based on the performance of the two boxers, Smith Jr, came out to win the last two rounds, heading to the 11th round I though the match is even, Smith Jr comes out to take the last two rounds and the match.

I like Joe Smith odds by decision @3.15 currently in sportsbet.

Or under 9.5 @2.11

I think Joe Smith will win this fight, Maxim might be good for couple of rounds and then Smith taking over in the middle of the fights.

Have you placed bet on Smith here - odds by decision? That's a nice win in case.

Just throw small money for Smith here just for fun. And to be honest, I didn't watch the fight, I just saw the news that he won.

And base on what I read, it was really very rough fight for him because of the cut that's why it did go to 12th and on the judges scorecard. I'm don't know if there will be a rematch, we might as well see Smith and Beterviev, that will be another intriguing match. Two hard punchers going at each other.

I have watched Joe's previous fights and I must say that he has fast hands but I guess it would really be a tough fight for him since Maxim has prepared a lot for this. It will be another milestone for him but I don't think it will be a draw match. I'm rooting for Smith and I'm sure that it will be a great match.

Draw match isn't really a likely fun outcome for this fight, I think that Maxim can make a way to win this fight since he have prepared for this fight.

The last two rounds was the turning point for Smith to capture the WBO title. Going into the eleventh round, the score was even in the two judges, if only someone from Vlasov's corner realizes that and advises their fighter to fight to convince the judges at that stages, he could have won the fight. Just unfortunate for Vlasov that he gassed out.

If there's a rematch, i would say that Smith would win convincingly sans the cut in the eye.

I would like to see a Smith vs Beterbiev match and the winner will face Canelo. For sure Canelo will go up in weight as there's no more worthy opponent in the Super Middleweight division.

Right, Smith vs Beterbiev makes more sense as both are big punchers already in their last fight somehow they didn't show what of expected of them. Maybe after Canelo clean the 168 lbs division, get all the belts and probably he will have to go again to LHW to either fight any on the two fighters.

But Canelo said that he doesn't want to go to LHW and this is coming from his team. Maybe they just advice him to stay to Super middle because moving up in weight and then going down again might hurt him in the long run.

But as we all know in boxing, if the money is in the table then why not?
