This Saturday, January 25 in Notthigham, Walid Ouizza (19 V, 3 d) lost by arrest of the referee in the 1st round in front of the unbeaten English Dalton Smith (17 V) for European titles (EBU) and WBC Silver Super-légers weights.
The Audonian and his staff knew that the task would be complicated against n ° 2 WBC but they probably had not imagined such a disaster scenario. Walid Ouizza is a solid boxer who had never been sent to the carpet and its value and seriousness are no longer to be demonstrated. There was no confrontation because the Frenchman did not have time to enter the fight, picked cold from the 1st round, he was arrested by the referee. From the first exchanges, Walid Ouizza seemed tense, he lengthened his arm before and remained well protected behind his high guard. Dalton Smith went from short dry strikes, the Frenchman started cautiously and observed, the English striker placed a sudden acceleration with a blow to the jarking then a series of both hands punctuated by a right which sent Walid Ouizza to the carpet.
Surprised and sounded, the Frenchman got up but Dalton Smith did not let go and he laid down a terrible left hook in his jaw, Walid Ouizza found himself on the ground a second time and the referee stopped the fight.
