The excorporated Wbo Wbo Wbo champion, Chris Billiam-Smith (21-2, 13 kos), won the harsh American Brandon Glanton (20-3, 13 kos), defeating him by a unanimous 12-round decision in a competition that appeared Razor-Cose at the end of Saturday night Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. This struggle should have been the co-cinema on the card tonight because, on paper, it was a better struggle than the others.

33-year-old Granton remained at the helm of Billiam-Smith soon in the fight, connecting with short punches on the head and body of the former champion. Glanton’s physical strength bothered Billiam-Smith, as he was not strong enough to deal with his struggle tactics.
Already in the first round, Chris seemed exhausted, as if he had gone a whole struggle, and his eyes were swollen from the hard blows. I had Granton at 4-2 after six rounds. He beat Billiam-Smith’s filling and did not allow him to land the way he wanted.
The scores were 116-113, 116-112 and 116-112. I had it for Billiam-Smith 115-113. He won, but barely. The pressure and hard strokes of Glanton were a pure nightmare for him, especially in the twelfth round when he went to the tie. He had the former champion in the race, trying to survive.
In the fifth, Granton was labeled a right that turned his head. It seemed to be in danger of going down, but he remained in some way. Billiam-Smith returned strong to the sixth round, nailing with his right hand, making his foot lose for a second. It is unclear whether this was the punch or the slippery ring. In any way, it was a hard shot with which Billiam-Smith had hit him.
Billiam-Smith seemed to get the best of shares in rounds 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11. Glanton took most of the first six and then returned strong to Ronda twelve, disembarking the much tougher shots against a tired billiam-Smith.
This was not the type of performance that Billiam-Smith needed to show that he has returned from his loss to Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez last November. It seemed to be on the way to being eliminated by Granton in the early hours of this night, and again, it seemed to have lost most of the first six.
