seen him fight a few times he has looked good but he lost to steve bendall a fight he should have won easy
the guys career has progressed like a snail. it was over 3 years ago now that he was on the contender. he should of had a british title shot as soon as he got back from there. also I do not think he should be at Super Middleweight. If anything I though he would go down in weight. He should be quigley and will then beat Dodson. After that I can see warren maybe getting him a WBO shot. But he certainly wont deserve it and will get taken apart as soon as he fights world class opposition. it would have been interesting to see how he would of got on agaisnt Solimon or Bika in the contender. remember the coaches rated him highly he was one of the 1st picks. i seem to remember one of the trainers saying "i will be shocked if you dont become a world champion Paul" and Buddy McGirt took him on after the show.
lakcing severly in talent but has a solid game that will let him be competative domestically and on the euro stage.
He's a decent domestic fighter who'll do well to win a Lonsdale belt outright. His brother is a mile better than him.
people who've trained with him etc seem to talk about him highly, the trainers on the contender picked him out as the best boxer, but we've never really seen him produce it in the ring. the loss to bendall was a shocker. think he needs a sink or swim type fight to see if he's ever going to make anything of his talent. no reason for him to be at super middle either. he was a bit out of shape at middleweight.
I'd like to see if he could raise his game against a World level fighter. I agree though he's the least talented of the brothers.
I agree with this^^^^. Smith is a decent domestic operator (nothing wrong with that, not everyone can be a world champ) but I honestly think that Quigley will take him
i think the mere fact that he's at 168 show his dedication is perhaps not what it should be. if he kept himself in anything like decent shape he should be able to make middle easy.
i think all the super middle weights need to watch out for kenny anderson from edinburgh,he could easily ko all his rivals in britian
