Smith has a typical wrestler/boxer stance, i think he is so far from Taylor. His striking mechanics aren't there, he looks like a wrestler who is learning how to strike but hasn't really come into full form. He's young and quick as you said, the only benefit is that those guys improve leaps with every fight and can show massive improvement that pre tape doesn't show. But Morales is so combat tested, he'd have to really drop the ball here and forget everything he knows.Taped Morales and co-signing this. The only way I can justify the line is if people think Elijah is Taylor Lapilus.
For me he's inexperienced, has faded badly a couple of times before and is facing a guy with great cardio who will be pushing hard all fight. Probably Smith will be a bit faster on the feet but he can't seem to stop his wrestling inscint.
