    Paul Smith who fought James Degale last and former British Champ is fighting on the undercard of "This Is It", Smith fought well against Degale and only really lost because he is not a natural Super Middle but more an actual Middleweight fighter. Why is there no talk or build up to his fight or any hype about his future???? He only kicked Quigley and Dodsons arses and cleaned up domestically until he fought Degale at a higher weight class where he is not as effective.

    he fought Dodson and Quigley in the same weight class as Degale, his opponent is no1 of note, if he were in a challenging fight were'd be talking about it:good

    Its a joke fight. Smith was shown up as domestic level so there is very little interest in him.

    Probably because Paul Smith inspires noone. He's a boring fighter, with a boring grab and wrestle style, with a boring name against an even more boring opponent.

    I think Paul Smith just had a bad night against Degale, yeh i know that Smiths fight is a confidence booster BUT still should get more of a mention. Smith is NOT just British level, im sure he will get a big fight again real soon and prove his pedigree. C'mon Smigga Lad!!!

    And what a great ring enterence music....Deacon Blue "Real Gone Kid"

    He never kicked Quigley's ass imo, infact I thought he was lucky to get the nod there, that was a terrible fight BTW.
