I had Smith winning that 116-112. Smith outclassed him for long periods, was hardly marked and AA ribs are like slabs of meat. Judges should be sacked, gutted for Smith
I had it 115-114 to smith, very good performance, hope he gets the rematch but as far away from that joke of a place as possible
Smith won't get a rematch, and Abraham won't be coming to the UK anytime soon. Awful scoring, but it's boxing, and bad judging continues to blight the sport the world over.
Sorry but "Robbed", absolute b******s, the fact you used that word tells me you are clueless. While I agree the scorecards were ridiculously wide, Joe Gallagher said afterwards he had it a draw, Hearn said he would have accepted two rounds either way but Smith was never "robbed". The problem is with the scorecards not the result. I had Abraham up by 2 points at the final bell but would not have screamed "robbery" if Smith got it. Threads like this really irritate me LOL.
The 109 119 card silly but AA won that fight by at least two or three rounds the quality and more hurtful shots came from him big respect for Paul smith shown great heart and proved a lot of people wrong but he didn't win that fight so this robbery talk silly the commentary as per was ridiculous making average joe at home believe smith was winning fight with ease then when desicion comes there's uproar cards were wrong but smith was beaten convincingly
AA was badly hurt at two points in fight with body shots, AA never had Smith badly hurt. AA ribs are red raw
I had it for 1 round for AA great showing from Smith and proved me wrong. Nice to see Joe was honest saying he had it a draw. Cant believe Smith did not throw one uppercut AA was asking for 1 all night long. Be intersting to see where Smith goes from here maybe a crack at the EU title and vacate the British after winning outright.
:good Nice point about the uppercut I forgot to mention the same thing, all the scorecard rubbish has actually stopped me talking about Smith's performance. Smith proved me wrong too, I thought he'd be out of his depth and he was well in the fight all the way through and was never troubled once.
Safe to say sauerland plans to bring marco huck over are now dead in the water if they know what's good for them
Robbed of a draw IMO. However, were I to swing any rounds in either direction I'd be more inclined to have tipped it Smith's way by a hair than Abraham's. 119-109 is rubbish. So is 117-111 Abe for that matter.
