i'd have to say that this is no doubt Buck Smith's best win. I hate to use the star system used on boxrec but for Buck it tells the story. this was the only 3 star fight he ever won, he only won a handful of 2 stars. he was just a guy who liked to fight, not even sure if he had any amateur career but he won in the pros against talentless fighters, solid comeback win for bucky smith
I remember watching this bizarre encounter by two crackpot styles at the time...Buck Smith has to be the most unschooled looking boxer I have seen, but he could take a punch and if one of his wild swings landed I guess it carried a sting. But he managed to land well with the right as Laing went down, but maybe it was an early stoppage and Laing would have survived it, he was winning the fight up to then.
