    Yes Rawling. I find him hit and miss to be honest but last night he was shocking.

    It felt like he was commentating it based in the first fight. He kept referring back to it as a justification for Smith winning rounds

    Again you only think the commentary was bad because he called the fight right which isn’t the way you wanted it to go.

    There’s absolutely no doubt about it, Liam Williams is the better boxer. But he’s got no heart. He didn’t fancy it. With his skill and Smith’s heart it would be one hell of a hybrid. Unfortunately we’re left with two average fighters!

    The commentary was spot on, one score card was wrong with the draw, one was too wide with Smith 117-111. The other was spot on and exactly how I scored it.

    No arguments whatsoever there apart from Williams should be ashamed of himself. Terrible performance from him.

    Lol. I remember watching Brook v Porter tired and drunk and I thought or hoped Brook nicked it by a round and then when I watched it back I noticed most of Porters punches I thought that landed were taken on the gloves or just missed, that was case with a lot of Williams work last night. I think the last two rounds secured outcome last night as Williams levelled it up after 10 in my humble opinion pal

    Williams could have done more no doubt and he should have.

    But if that was a guy showing no heart and a terrible performance by him what does that say about Smith LOL?

    He was schooled in their first fight and yes this was closer but it's not as though he dominated in any way.

    Plus not only did we have to listen to Rawlings we had to endure that gobshyte Gallagher screaming about punches that didn't land or where blocked, total muppet.

    So I leave you with your thoughts that Williams fought terrible yet the majority of people that I have seen had him winning so don't say much does it.

    No it doesn’t. It advocates what I said. Smith is average.

    I know Smith came off very badly in the first fight, but what he said had some truth to it. Williams swallowed it first time around and in the second fight, he was fighting like he had no confidence in his gas tank. Smith got into his head and won the rematch so credit to him. I wanted Williams to win, but Smith done the job.

    Williams was definitely worried about blowing his load he barely let his hands go all fight

    He should have thrown caution to the wind more often . He must have really gassed in first fight and knew that going into this one .

    He's a much better fighter but think Smith did actually get to him. He was far too respectful. Think he's got his psychology wrong. He had to adjust himself after the cocorun fight where he lost it. Gone too far the other way now . Hard to get that balance right.
