Pretty decent chance Anthony Smith gets knocked out. Also decent chance Smith scores the knockout.

If Anthony Smith gets knocked out will you be sad? If so, how sad
 
Just a bit, not sad but it won't look nice. Too tough guy who already took his licks. People like him won't know when to stop. Somehow not gonna feel bad for Johhny. He's always goofing.
 
Not sad. Won't be happy either. Not really a nice feeling seeing somebody go out, even if I appreciate the KO itself.

I think Smith has a good chin though, not sure why people are confident Walker is going to splatter him. Walker is the one with the glass chin.
 
I like Anthony smith, he’s not really an elite fighter but he’s good and I really admire his fighting spirit. He says some things about his skill and how good he is that make people roll their eyes, but a fighter needs to have that confidence imo he has to believe in himself. That being said, I think he should just retire. He’s been a pretty good commentator/broadcast guy and I just don’t really know what he’s looking to accomplish continuing to fight nowadays. I’ll feel a little bad if he gets KO’d but I mean it’s gonna happen eventually if he keeps fighting, hopefully he’ll retire because I just don’t see him being a title contender again even in the shell of a division that LHW is nowadays.
 
If he gets knocked out, I don't think too many people would care. If fact, it would likely be celebrated as comeuppance for ill advised statements he's made over the years.
Some examples of what he has said to others in recent years?
I havent paid much attention to him but curious why a lot seem to dislike him

I remember he said something abiut jones not being unbeatable, not shaking walkers hand but thats about it

I agree. I think Anthony is the better fighter but walker poses more danger, has more “X factor” more unpredictable. I’m assuming smith is looking to make it a dirty scrap with a good bit of grappling coming into play and should have an advantage the longer the fight goes.

He said Jones' skills individually aren't that good, but he is great at following his corners instructions, sticking to a gameplan and putting it all together.

He also said Ankalaev wouldn't be able to just bully Blachowicz around at the time when most of Sherdog was swinging from Ankalaev's nuts.

He also has the nerve to think he can still beat some of the guys he lost to, which is obviously ridiculous because nobody has ever won a rematch before...
 
Anthony believes in himself, how else he would become top 5. All fighters think they can take the next 2 steps.

Even when he talks about his opponents or losses, it's still in a calm manner and tone.

I mean he never said anything that bugs me.

But whatever sherboys gotta hate. They want him to say I got destroyed by the better fighter. Fighters have to keep their mentality and belief.

Fighters who lose in the fashion he has have been honest enough to say they lost fair and square. The man even said that Jones individual abilities are mediocre but only when they’re put together, in the sport called MMA, is when he’s elite. As if Jones wouldn’t destroy him in any discipline Smith chose.

He pretty much always talks smack about his opponent's skills after losing to them, such as JJ, and has had a ton of silly takes at the desk as an analyst about unrelated fighters. I personally don't care too much. it's kind of like how people are super upset with Ariel Helwani for doing his job, I could care less if he says dumb stuff to generate buzz or has an unreasonably high opinion of himself or his skills, it's kind of his job to do so. I just hope if he knocks Walker out, he makes him do snow angels again on the way down.
 
No i can't wait to hear the excuses.
 
I'd be copying DC's only fucking saying which is "thats Naaasty!"

Dude get off his nut sack.

Jones would not cut it as pro kickboxer and would be a bad boxer. He would not be a bjj champ. Wrestling he'd do well, not champ. But all together Jones is a beast. Anthony did not say he was better at any discipline then Jones

He never said he didn't lose fair and square.

Are you honest enough to admit Anthony would beat you and all his haters fair and square ?
