look at Smith today at the press conference. Look at him all the time when he’s not fighting. He always stays in the gym and stays in the same sort of shape. He’s not one of these fighters like Saunders who balloon up when they’re inactive.
He has no choice. If he blew up he be 230lbs! By the way since you know and love the guy so much... does his height of 6` 3" include his halo? Just remember what's happened to Jarret Hurd and Kerman lejarriga, scissors. Just two of the giants who have crumbled lately! Sooner or later he'll go to the well once too often. It doesn't end well for size Bullys!!!! !!!
Scissors v Len, eastside boxing area level eliminator!..winner takes all the marbles!..sounds like a god damn monsta movie!
I agree. He did say he didn’t want high risk and wants to try and make a go of it one last time. But as co main it can’t be a knock over job and as he wants to build it can’t be a killer so needs some kind of name value and story. A Teper or Hammer rematch would fit that. Both decent names. Lost a. Few since he fought them and has a story behind it. Both also winnable fights
This is why the rules need to change the weight controls. It seemed like a good idea to prevent guys going in dried out like prunes, but the day before weigh in has been a good example of the law of unintended consequences! Change is needed. Urgently!
