On the way to victory, Smith provided a hugely controversial moment.

During the bout, the British super-lightweight champion responded to an Allington counter left by lifting him up and slamming him to the ground.

The referee immediately paused the fight, but somehow opted not to deduct Smith a point.

After being sternly told not to do it again, Smith got away with his indiscretion and the fight went on.

The 26-year-old from Sheffield subsequently moved to 14-0 with a dominant points win, taking it 120-107, 119-108 and 119-108 on the scorecards.

Smith was compared to wrestler Steve Austin on social media, with iFL TV calling him: “Stone Cold Dalton Smith.”

A fan responded: “Stone cold? Or completely illegal?”

And a second wrote: “Pathetic refereeing not docking points there.”

A third commented: “Dirty that, not needed at all.”

And another added: “Pathetic, straight DQ.”

In the main event, Leigh Wood was dethroned as featherweight world champ by Mauricio Lara.

The bout, billed as “Dance with the Devil” – was ended by a left hook from hell.

Wood had been comfortably ahead on the scorecards through six rounds.

But Lara produced a brutal seventh round KO to steal the Brit’s crown.

Wood’s defeat left his dreams of an all-British title defence against Josh Warrington in tatters.

Punching Techniques

There are seven types. Each punch has its own technique. Some punches need more power than others. For example, an uppercut requires great force. However, a straight punch is much more powerful and faster than other punches.

There are also different combinations. These are combinations that combine punches to accomplish a particular goal. A combination can contain multiple parts. An example of this is a left hook, followed by a right crossing. This will damage the opponent’s jaw.

Guard Techniques

Boxers use their bodies to defend themselves against attack. He does so by using his arms, elbows and hands as well as his knees, knees and legs.

Legs

A boxer must use his legs to defend against kicks. When he’s hit, he raises his right leg and runs away from the attacker. To avoid being kicked in the side, he bends down if the attacker attacks from the front. He will block the kick with his foot if the attack is coming from behind.

Elbows

Elbow strikes are very powerful because they inflict great pain. You can deliver an elbow strike directly or indirectly. Directly, you strike your opponent with your forearm. Indirectly, you hit him with another portion of your arm.

Hands

Boxers use the power of their hands to block any incoming blows. Boxers raise their fists to block incoming blows and then move in the direction of the attacker’s attack. Then they make contact with the attacker’s fist.

Knees

Boxers who are subject to a punch to their stomachs, abdomens, or chests should bend at the knees to absorb the impact. Knee strikes can be used to defend yourself.

Feet

A boxer should not be afraid to respond to an attack. This will help him gain distance from his opponent. Boxers should also keep their balance when counter-attacking.

Stances

In order to box effectively, a boxer needs to establish a stance. The way he defends him will be dictated by his stance. It dictates how he places his body and faces his opponent. Boxers can take many different stances. Here are some of the most common ones:

  • Low stance
  • High stance
  • Southpaw stance
  • Western stance

Body Movement

To win a fight, a fighter must move around the opponent. This involves changing positions, speed, rhythm and timing.

Rotation

Rotating his arm to increase the puncher’s reach is a key part of boxing. Depending on the type and size of punch, the speed at which the rotation takes place varies.

Combinations

The effectiveness of a combination depends on the timing of each individual punch. A combination that is effective starts with a strong punch, and ends with one that is weak.

Spares

Sparring is a training session that improves boxing skills. During sparring sessions, a boxer trains his mind as well as his body. The purpose of sparring is, in short, to learn how fight and not get hurt.

Learning to box takes dedication and patience. You need to train hard and long in order to become a better boxer.
