British super-middleweight Paul Smith has stopped David Sarabia inside two rounds in their contest at the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff.

Smith was a late addition to the card, but despite being absent from the ring for nearly six months, he produced a devastating performance to beat Sarabia.

The opening 60 seconds of the contest were even before Smith dropped his opponent midway through the round, but it wasn't enough to earn a quick-fire stoppage.

However, the Liverpudlian got the job done in the second after a dozen punches went unanswered and the referee correctly stepped in to halt the fight.

Smith is now likely to face Arthur Abraham for the WBO title in the autumn.
