    Smith 8-4 or 7-5
    I like his clean jabs and body shots more. But it was close

    Good 50-50 match up but CBS did enough there to get his hand raised. Scratch what I said about Andy Lee though the commentary was so biased. They were jizzing their pants whenever MCCarthy landed a good shot and they weren't even subtle about it.

    Aggression, pressure and output won him the fight. Can't argue that. Cleaner work came from McCarthy but let's be honest...McCarthy can be lazy at times and giving himself very bad optics.

    The level of bias of this commentary in favour of Mccarthy is astounding I can't work it out

    They literally didn't have a good word to say about Billam Smith all night

    True, a bit one sided commentary

    I wonder whether that's got anything to do with the MTK bias? More to do with the corners than boxers?

    I had it a draw.

    McCarthy has the quality, Smith had the work rate, but didn’t find much clean the entire fight.

    A point or two either way I am comfortable with.

    Neither of these two are ready for a step up to world level. I would be worried if either stepped up to the next of level.
