    I like Warrington, don't see him becoming a "real" world champion but there is a lot to like about him. He'll beat Tubeiron easily, the Pinoy's best win came at 118

    Yeah but most aren't as chinny as Paul, I predicted a draw in the first and I was right, but my gut is telling a KO will happen tonight, one by Paul's making, he'll screw up.

    Didn't happen in the previous 12 rounds they actually fought. As opposed to the conjecture of what Abraham is going to do this time, when we know what he actually did in their first fight

    Not sure I agree.

    Abraham is one of those guys who was fearsome at one weight, but once he couldn't make it he was stuck in this no man land where he was too small for the next division up. One of the rare fighters who truly seems stuck between divisions, in regards to how effective he is in there nowadays.

    If Smith utilizes more consistently the tools he showed in their first fight, mostly the jab to the stomach of Abraham and bodywork, I believe he can win here.

    Oh I know I wrote a whole thread about what a killer he was at MW and has no power at SMW, but my gut is telling Paul gonna **** up tonight and get Pacquiao'd, maybe I'll be wrong. :conf

    I wouldn't be surprised by Smith losing, I just don't think he's going to get cold cocked

    I hope Smith gets battered, sick of Smith himself saying he was "robbed" when he wasn't and also Sky Sports hypocrisy, they try to justify every poor decision that is served up for any foreign fighter who visits the UK but seem to have gone OTT with what were poor scores but the correct decision.
