%foto2%In six-round light heavyweight contest, the very talented and very dangerous Ismayl Sillakh, was way too much for Ray Smith. Smith boxed very tentatively from the outset, looking like the beaten fighter from the beginning, despite entering the ring with a very respectable record. Sillakh punished Smith’s body with hard left hooks, pursued the fleet footed Smith and finally seemed to get bored of punishing Smith and ended the fight with an impressive combination causing referee, Robert Byrd, to call an end to the fight at 1:55 of the second round. With the TKO victory, Sillakh improves to a perfect 9-0, (8 KOs) while dropping Smith to 9-4 (3 KOs). Sillakh definitely looks like he could make some noise in the next couple years in the light heavyweight division. VIDEO:
