He looked absolutely amazing against smith. The best I have seen him so far. He is 6'7 and easily the biggest LHW around. He is also by far the most athletic LHW as well. Him training with John kavanagh did wonders for him.
I think Johnny Walker is going to become champ

He looked good imo. Not amazing. Good leg kicks but Smith was always vulnerable to leg kicks. Crute kicked the shit out of his legs.
I'd like to see tighter striking defense from Walker. Smith was tagging him on the chin consistently in the 2nd round, and that was when his leg was already toast.
As of right now I still see Walker getting KO'd by Hill/Jiri/Ankalaev/Blachowicz.

I thought he might early on, but he is chinny.
He will have to fight flawlessly to get the strap imo.
He does have a lot of physical gifts and a very solid offense, so there is a possibility he could grab gold if he can keep that chin far better protected.

We heard the same thing after he ran through his first 3 UFC opponents in less than 3 minutes combined.
He's got a strong offensive game, but his chin is Jonathan Goulet-esque

He would have to grow a beard that wouldn’t be legal in size to grow

It's a very weak division. Anyway, Hill already shadow-realm'd him.

All I care about is for him and Jiri to cross paths on the way there.
I think nobody disagrees he has the natural athletic talent to achieve such a goal, but he is quite inconsistent. I love to watch him fight, but such a bold statement free to make on the internet: if it comes true, you can reference back to the thread like you're a psychic, and if it doesn't come true, which in my opinion is most likely, the thread is forgotten forever.

I think putting the bottle of Johnny Walker down that was clearly catalyst for this thread would be a good first step.
