Paul Smith (35(20)-3(2)) is a two-time British champion and ranked 5th by the WBO but he stands little to no chance of winning against Abraham (40(28)-4(1)).
Joe Gallagher will have worked tirelessly on tactics with Smith but the best way to beat Abraham is with speed and slick movement, and unfortunately Smith won't have been able to learn that in the last 10 weeks. Smith has a good kayo record but the German is a genuinely tough man who has seen the final bell under the most severe of circumstances.
If the fight goes 12 rounds the German-appointed officials will almost certainly reward Abraham's bursts of activity, however I think it is most likely that the punishment will catch up with Smith in the second half of the fight and Abraham will secure a late stoppage.
