It has only been a couple of days less than a month and Dallas’ Larry Smith (10-7, 7KO’s) is back in action in the ring and scheduled to meet Jose Pinzon (19-2, 12KO’s) from Merida, Yucatan, Mexico. Smith is coming into the fight after numerous close decisions and is ready to get back to the win column. Pinzon is coming into the fight with a solid record, and he is the current interim WBC Latino Light Middleweight champion. A belt that he retained in his last fight against Edvan Dos Santos Barros (11-11, 8KO’s) back in June of this year. But out of his last five fights, four of which he won, he suffered a KO loss in his second to last fight. Smith will have his hands full when he steps into the ring on Saturday night against the tough Mexican fighter. This is a great opportunity for Smith to get back to his winning ways and show his Dallas fans how he can really perform in the ring. In his last fight he seemed to slow down toward the end of the rounds, which might be due to the back to back fights that he has been accepting, or for some other reason. But in order for him to win this fight, he must either finish his opponent early or be ready to go the entire fight going forward. Dallas fans know what kind of fighter he is and the type of performance he is capable of. Smith is scheduled to fight at the Reliant Arena in Houston, Texas tomorrow as one of the undercards of the Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. middleweight championship fight against Peter Manfredo, Jr. Chavez will be making his first defense of his belt for the WBC middleweight title. The fight is promoted by Top Rank and Bob Arum. The main event will be televised on HBO Boxing After Dark and should also be televised on Top Rank TV.
