Good luck to Paul Smith against Abraham, a career best performance against a ragged Abraham could steel a victory on the scorecards. I can't see it though. I see a good fight with Smith possibly winning until a barrage from Arthur around rounds 9 or 10 bringing an end to a game display and a good effort from Smith.
I'd be very surprised if Smith can even be competitive let alone win this. I'm used to this "he's from my country, so he's going to win" attitude, but be real. it's a miracle he even got the shot, and miracles don't often travel in packs.
True - Hearn has worked some magic here, on form / activity basis it has to be the most un warranted title shot in recent times, but here's to hoping!
