FAN REACTION: Amazing video of a deaf boxer Julian Quiet Storm Smith finding out he won the fi

Publish date: 2024-05-05

Julian ‘Quiet Storm’ Smith is a very talented and skilled professional boxer who is quite unique because he is deaf. The 32-year-old, five-foot-nine-inch-tall welterweight has a boxing record of 7-2 (W/L), with 4 knockouts. Smith’s most recent bout was organized by Most Valuable Promotions and the event was called ‘Most Valuable Prospects II’.

 Smith faced off against Julio Rosa and won the boxing match after 6 rounds which was the event’s main card. Across the first round, both fighters maintained a steady pace by jabbing at each other while maintaining some distance. However, in the subsequent rounds, Smith landed many successful combinations and heavy shots on Rosa, who kept enduring the barrage. Gradually Rosa began to clinch after enduring a lot of damage while attempting to land a few shots on Quiet Storm.

 Smith was able to maintain his pace and continued his onslaught of attacks while dodging most of Rosa’s attacks. In the final round, Rosa attempted to make a final push moment but Smith was able to subdue his effort yet again. After the bell rang there was a bit of confusion because of Smith’s deafness.

However, it only lasted a few seconds as the referee stopped Smith who could not hear the bell ring. During the call out of the judge’s scorecard, a sign language interpreter was stationed for the Deaf athlete. As the scorecard was read out, Smith was able to follow along because of this and he learned of his victory through it.

Fans react to Julian Storm’s victory

The Quiet Storm has brewed quite a storm amongst fans with his performance and humble persona. His inspiring and humble origin has pushed him to become who he is today. Smith’s life experience thought him to fight back even when you don’t have a voice. Furthermore, his swift jab attacks in his match against Rosa can be compared to Ryan Garcia.

I'm all for inclusion but this could potentially be dangerous. How does he hear the bell or in-ring instructions? When the ref says stop or break?

He can hear some noises like the slapping at the 10 second mark and the ref has to be extra emphatic when the round ends

Theres this MMA fighter, Matt Hamill, same story, deaf from birth.
His corner would bang on the mat to get his attention when they needed to, then hand sign instructions, it was something to see…
But then again, guy was a wrestler, so he was usually on the ground…

I guess when its ‘last ten’ the ref can signal to him so he knows its coming. Then the ref can step in at the sound of the bell.

i wonder how long it took for him to find a coach who knew sign language also can he hear the bell?

Damn that makes it 10x harder to learn how to box also and he made it this far professionally it’s insane

Imagine him knocking you out cause he didn't hear the bell ring 😂

Most fans online reacted to the clip with harmful comments, complimenting the aspect of inclusion. At the same time, some expressed their concern about him not hearing the bell which also occurred briefly in his match against Rosa. Some fans expressed their deep sense of respect for him and his journey so far.
