    Can't see a Smith victory here, if AA doesn't KO him he wins on points. Froch was able to tame Abraham with his freakishly long jab, don't see what Smith has in his arsenal to keep him off

    If Paul can box him and not get involved in too much of a scrap he could win it, i hope he does.

    Will go down as a great upset if it comes off but if i' being honest can't see Smith dominating enough to get a decision could be wrong though.

    I am not seeing where this confidence in Smith is coming from, just not understanding it. I know Abraham is on the slide but I think Smith is still out of his depth.

    DeGale savaged him in his 9th fight and Groves savaged him in his 14th, Smith has been battered by novices, Abraham is seasoned pro.

    If Smith does pull it off it will be a huge upset and I will be on here congratulating him but I am not seeing it.

    Abraham has been **** at SMW because he's too small height/reach wise and too slow to make up for that...but Smith should be a MW anyway so don't see what advantages he has...

    Abraham should knock him out, but best of luck to Smith.

    Smith 100% has caught him at the right time, don't mean he's good enough to do something about it tho

    Totally understand where your coming from there BoxF, and when I look at the two prior to this fight being made, I'd laugh of a Smith victory.. However,for a reason I can't actually put my finger on, I am punting for a Smith victory..

    Just one of those things, a gut instinct and so on, but I'm going to call it - Smith wins - in Germany - on points.

    wow that's madness I can hear myself talking haha!

    Really want Smith to win but I just can't see it. Abraham is past his best but Smith is nowhere near world level...Would love to be proven wrong though.

    I hope you're right:good I thought even an aging Abraham would be a stern test for Groves!

    I`m still puzzled as to how Smith got a shot at the title,he has done nothing his whole career and hasn`t beaten a European level fighter let alone a world level fighter.

    Can't believe Smith even got a shot at this 2bh. Hope he does it, but a AA decision win is a very good price at the bookies. Thats what my money is on.

    yea thats my theory think its now or never for Smith. Agree to a cerain point AA is a great match for Smith but in another the power of AA is a big worry.

    I think it wont go beyond 6 rounds and will be like Bellew vs Stevenson.

    hope im wrong
