Rakic looking very SMART. Not necessarily a better fighter but a better strategist for sure. Great game plan for THIS fight. Do not think this success will translate against higher caliber fighters.

Smith had no answers for the obvious strategy of Rakic. Sad to see.

**** that celebration. And what the **** Anthony, change your nickname after that performance. Definitely not the fighter I remember. I guess Dawson is the last hope Nebraska has.
