I think it's fair to say we all know Anthony Smith gave a very poor performance when it came to the fight with Jones, for whatever reason whether he froze, nerves or just didn't click that night his performance wasn't great.
He got a lot of stick for that fight though he came back and rectified this by finishing Gus in the 4th round in front of Gus's home crowd also winning performance of the night yet people will ignore that and still use the Jones fight as a reflection on Smith.
We always hear the sentiment "You're only as good as your last fight", so it does confuse me how that sentiment is valid when he lost to Jones but since he beat Gus it's no longer valid and they'll still use the Jones fight to showcase Smith.
So honestly, how do you guys feel in regards to Anthony Smith and what's your take on this?
I would love to see who will actually give him some credit now as opposed to those who are still stuck on the Jones fight (which admittedly was a poor performance).
I'd be interested to hear
