avid wrote some absolute tosh about smith and degale before their fight. i think a lot of fans actually make fun of smith to win avid up because of his ridiculous opinions. some of the stuff he came out with before the degale fight was laughable. just do a search and read it for a laugh.
This content is protected [/QUOTE] 100% agree with this Forums have a big part to play in people learning more about fighter that the regular press forget If there wasn't forum would that many people who have heard of the Paul smith, Martin murrays and John Simpsons It increases domestic boxers publicity for bigger crowds and bigger revenue I believe Ps not saying the above fighters are bad just the first names that came to mind at domestic level
oh my god what a nerd. I would literally have wedgied that guy 100 times if i went to school with him.
Let's set the record straight. Before the fight I said smith would win based and more experience, strength etc. I said degale was overrated and slapped. I was wrong on both counts and admit it. Other factors certainly played a part, I.e. Smith being out of his weight class, wrong strategy too. I mean if georgie vaughn seriously thought the way to beat degale was to ko him then maybe Paul is right to change trainers. I've rambled on it the past about smith I accept that. And I've set myself up as a target. But I'm still a fan, and I will support him. Possibly now with a wiser head. Cheers for you positive comment though
At least he is in better shape than Smigga.... :roll: Joke....Smith is a middleweight now and will probably be in better shape than that guy come fight night.
Degale still needs to work on punch technique, but it is certainly much improved. Not too sure about his power either. The sheer volume stopped smith, not actual one punch power
