    lol Jacobs using the making weight excuse for his loss to Clenelo. McDonnell did the same thing after fighting Inoue. These clowns want it both ways - boil their big ass frames down to campaign in divisions they're bigger and heavier than everyone and then when it doesn't go their way they pull the boo hoo it was making weight that beat me excuse. Smith will probably do the same if he loses at 168 albeit contrary to what a lot of people think he isn't rehydrating as much weight as they suspect he is.

    That first KD was reminiscent of the so-called 'phantom' punch that put Liston out agains Ali.

    I wonder when Hassan N´Dam will realize, that he gets hit by every left hook the opponent throws.
    After Quillin and Lemieux, he still makes the same mistakes...

    Short devastating right hand. Lets see Canelo in with someone with defense, body punching like that.

    It’s not Smith’s fault it’s Hearn’s fault. Smith is a world champion fighter with massive physical advantages and great power. He would fight anyone. It’s up to Hearn to find him the best fights.

    I gotta tell you, I'm impressed by the balls on Callum, what a brave soul. Instead of fighting someone his own size like Callum Johnson or Joe Smith Jr. he drags up not only a MIDDLEWEIGHT, but a GLASS JAWED middleweight, and a FEATHERFISTED middleweight to boot. What a risk. Wow.

    What a beast Mundo is.:ggg:ggg:ggg:ggg

    Eubank Vs Smith or Saunders Vs Smith.

    Other than that, I'm not interested in watching Smith beat up old Super welterweights.

    Canelo is an idiot if he steps in with Callum. Far too high risk he’s too short. His only chance is to knock him out and I can’t see it.

    Bivol v Smith is the logical fight to make. The fans would love to see that.
