Realistic opponent for Callum Smith's first defence?

Braehmer's owed at shot at a 175 champion if anything. Sauerland have options on a Fielding defence.

 

Groves kills him self to make sixty eight, looks aids ridden on the scales. Compare this to a FROCH who walks around at his fighting weight, it’s shortened his career and one of the reasons he’ll (likely) not fight again at thirty.
I don’t think anyone would debate George is a huge super middle, Callum is just a complete freak the way he dwarfed him in there, I’m baffled by it.

 

It makes Matchroom business sense to pick someone with a ranking as a homecoming voluntary defence for Smith . Fielding needs a couple of decent win to give himself real credibility. Eubanks Jnr isn’t in the promotional fold and needs to really establish himself particularly in the WBA rankings if he wants Smith . A Fielding v CEJ might work but Matchroom would want a proper contract with the Eubanks which apparently is not easy . Degale v CEJ on ITV seems to be the best option and most winnable fight for Chris then again Degale would want a lot for his retirement fund.

 

You have consumed digested and regurgitated everything “Eddie Hearn said...” without pausing for breath. If I had to bet my life on anything it would be that you are a proud lifetime sky subscriber.

 

you should not waste your life on meaningless bets ! I have been following boxing before Sky and Eddie the business is the same max profit for low risk !

 

Smith has stated that he wants to fight the best fighters out there whilst he’s in his prime. Seeing as he just beat the number 1 supermiddle and doesn’t perform against inferior opposition, I reckon (hope) he’s going to really test himself in terms of levels of opponent. He should go after Uzcategui or Benavidez (if he’s not stripped) for their belts.

 

Value for money not a consideration for Sky, Eh Day or fighters such as Toe Haye who was not concerned at all with the fight outcome in both fights.

Fleece every possible penny from PPV Mugs is the single objective of Sky, Eh Day and the fighters.

Toe v Bellew for the Marks & Sparks Plastic Belt Title opened the floodgates.

The more PPVs the better in my book at present - the more frequent showing of shyte fights on PPV will mean people being fleeced wake up.

 

Has to be Benavidez, after they both said they wanted it.

 

So as a fan of Smith your happy with fights vs Ryder or Fielding ? You not think your short changing yourself with that ?

 

To be fair thread does say "realistic". Think it will end up being Ryder he fights next, but Ryder/Fielding is a kind of fight he'll come unstuck in. As was noted in another thread he performs best when hes challenged.

Should go straight into a unification with Benavidez, as Smith is now his mandatory. How hard is it going to be to make a deal with PBC now? How much power does a Diamond champion have to take a fight to purse bids? Linares and Garcia were in a similar situation, yet it werent persued despite them saying they wanted it.

 

It will be his mandatory cause Hearn said Smith won't fight again for the rest of the year

Ryder v Sirotkin is in October so by that time probably about the turn of the year the mandatory will have called by the WBA.

 

I agree but i see Hearn said they will ease him out after a good rest and look for a big fight late 2019. He certainly didn't seem intetested in putting Rocky back in with him. If thats their plan the might as well try get a mandatory out the way 1st.

 

Eubank is easy to counter.

Braehmer isn’t owed anything. His pull out was very suspicious and he has previous. Unreliable opponent and also a potential banana skin because he’s quite a smart boxer. Doubt Eddie would be interested.
