    He's got a pretty good sense of humour which is a side of his we never saw before

    Yeah, Smith hit him with about five big flush shots in quick succession - Rights over the top, left hooks, and an uppercuts and the first right actually dropped him too. His knees dipped right down and his glove touched the canvas ie. a KD which gets conveniently ignored with the elbow nonsense

    Even Groves said the same regarding people falsely assuming he's as tough as his super tough old man

    Yes, and of course the murderous punching much bigger CW Carl Thomson x 2 which must've just slipped your mind

    Collins KD was bogus. Technically a KD but it was a body shot balance issue

    Watson was an extremely grueling fight where he ate a lot of leather and was tired prior to the Hail Mary finish and Watson hit him with a series of big flush shots in quick succession

    And Watson sports a KO 84%

    You obviously recognise having a good chin doesn't necessarily mean never being knocked down. Having a good chin is more about recovery for me, get banged hard and recover and find a way. Like you said anyone can get dropped it doesn't mean their packing glass they just got caught.

    Beefy please rid the boxing world of this man. It baffles me how anyone could find him likable.

    Okay yeah the clip doesn't work probably have to be in the UK to watch it - geo constricted,

    You know i was thinking of watching the fight again as i've almost forgot everything in detail about the fight having only watched it the time it aired.

    Too much talking indeed,

    I know Boxing is a tough sport/industry to be in especially if you happen to catch a loss then the world turns on you including people you have looked up too but Liam just always seem to be bent out of shape about anything & irritable while having major chip on his shoulder, dude should relax a little.

    I was going to mention Thompson but I ommited it as it was at a heavier weight, those fights really showed how tough Snr was, Thompson was pretty underrated at the time they both showed a lot of heart in both fights.

    OK.

    Great fights. Both of them.

    Yes they did and yes he was, as you know, Thompson was a massive puncher

    He's well reputed to be hard work behind the scenes, mate. I wouldn't want to train him. ( I wouldn't have had a bloke like that even work for me with his attitude)

    His arrogance and disrespect is off the scale, in that he thinks he knew better than the legend Roy Jones....or his own father, Snr. You couldn't write it.

    One thing I'll give him is, he's no quitter. As ****ed up as he was in the first Smith fight, Jr really, really wanted to go on.

    However, let's hope Smith takes him to slick school tonight and drops him proper cold.
