Being robbed twice against AA? :nono First time was close, second time was very NOT close. He has no chance against Ward. Even a ring-rusty Ward will easily outmatch him.
Good luck to Paul Smith. People might want to make a laugh and joke, but nobody in there right mind would turn down the recent opportunities he's had presented so he's obviously going to bite Eddie's hand off! In a day and age where everyone slags fighters off for "ducking", Smith's had the ***** to jump in with Groves, Degale, Abraham x2 & now Ward deserves credit whether he came up short or not.
This is an absolute disgrace paul smith is f u cking **** and has been since he turned pro. Ah well at least we get to see him getting stuffed ....again....
so...these are the wba rankings published by them on april 10th 2015.... http://i.imgur.com/GOoN98N.jpg
I thought it was a bad fight anyway but for the WBA title? Really? FFS Surely one of us must be in line for a shot at a world title... I'll take "step aside" money and food, £5 and a pizza, also throw in a can of soft drink and it is a done deal.
Good post, though i think he definitely won first fight though lost the second defiantly too. I really like Paul Smith but don't think he will go past 6-7 rounds with Ward, hope I am wrong. I also don't blame him for taking the fight to provide for his family, take my hat of for him, and I hope that he is physical ok and comes through fight safely.
It's obviously quite shocking that Paul Smith gets a third world title fight when he didn't even beat anyone to earn his first one, but you can't really blame him for taking the fight. Of course it will be a mismatch and he will lose but he has nothing to lose by getting outclassed by the best super middleweight in the world and he earns a decent paycheck at the same time.
