    Abraham, Smith just wasn´t that effective with his punches. I know that you all wanted Smith to win but in my book he just didn´t do enough!

    Regardless of who won, it shows that the SMW division is not as strong as it was just under a decade ago

    I Had it 8 - 4 / 7 - 5. AA.

    Paul did well against a fighter who couldnt be bothered for half the fight.

    I am not baised at all and actually don´t like Abraham anymore because of his attitude. When Abraham is hurt he looks different.

    Only Smith's family and friends and biased UK fans would say Smith won.
    AA won clearly 8-4 or 7-5.
    The scores were scandalous of course.

    Abraham had cleaner more eye catching work.

    Smith was busier and had lots of flurries.

    A draw would not be a terrible result.

    119-109 was a joke though.

    Had Abraham 115-113.

    The judge with 119-109 needs euthanizing.

    WTF - During Calzaghes reign you had Glenn Catley and Sven ottke as adominant champion.

    At lease you have

    Froch,
    Ward
    Kessler
    Groves
    Andre Dirrell
    Anthony Dirrell

    Calzaghes era was a discgrace

    German boxing is totally corrupt.I have seen countless home decisions over the last 20 years.Just a few weeks ago Arslan got robbed against Hernandez.
    Nobody cares.

    However, the fight yesterday was not a robbery.AA won in my view.What you coul crtizise is the wide margin AA won.This shows that Smith never had a shot to win a decision anyway.
