    I think this would be a great statement fight for Smith

    Murrey struggled with him and then took Buglioni's '0'

    It could be a WBC International Defence or he could pick up the WBO Europe strap to get the ranking.

    It would be interesting whether Smith's explosive power would show here

    I think Smith would be up to the job, but I dont know they would want this just yet.

    Not the right fight at the moment,Callum Smith the best prospect to really lay a statement UK wise, long term very talented.

    No way Eddie wants his golden egg put in there yet.

    Khomitsky wins by stoppage.

    Why not? Buglioni fought him. I know it would be a gamble, but it would also make a statement.

    Yep, he gave Murray all he could handle and took Buglioni's soul, so lets put one of the top prospects in with him. No way it could possibly go wrong. No way at all. No sir.

    Not yet, there's no rush with Smith.

    Timing has to be right.

    Murray's a MW and Buglioni is shite. Pointless assuming that because those two struggled so would Callum.

    Getting Smith the number 10 ranking with WBO would be perfect for Matchroom. It means they avoid him having to fight another Matchroom fighter for a world title and Hearn also tweeted he would put him in with him now

    Callum Smith is to me the best UK prospect I have seen in many a year.

    Serious power,and for a tall man can also fight on the inside.

    I think he will go all the way.

    Good, but lets see if he does make that match for Callum Smith because it would be a good test. The thing is Paul Smith is ranked by the WBO, but i imagine he'll be fighting Rocky Fielding next and that could be for some sort of WBO title/eliminator.

    Let's see if fast car has any confidence in his superstar in the making. They've said they'd beat Buglioni enough, let's see if they have the balls to fight this MIDDLEWEIGHT, eh Solaris?
