Big Daddy Avid's Smigga Thread

I think everyone understood the commercial value of the fight, and it may not have been exactly who he wanted to fight, and to be fair i heard smigga on the radio saying dodo had to get to the back of the queue, so there was a bit of a turnaround. But i think it was more from the point of view smith saying why should you get the chance now. I don't think that he for one minute sat there and thought, i can't have him.
Obviously warren guides the ship, i fully understand that, but it's a yes or no frm the fighter at the end of the day.

I just like the kind of silence coming from the smith camp of late.

 

You not read that Boxing News piece yet then?

In all seriousness, Dodson has always been a talker and Smith never really has been (from memory it was his brothers doing all the talking pre-Quigley?).

I wouldnt read too much into the noises coming from the camps.

 

haven't managed to yet,is it online, or just on paper?

I do need to keep up with current affairs don't i!!

 

Not on the website I dont think (hope not anyway, given I pay for the magazine every week!!).

To be fair, your boy comes across alright but I'm sure there's a mention in there of him predicting a KO.

 

my ****ing local newsagent doesn't buy it in, so will have to go and get it for a read me thinks. is it the most recent edition?

 

Yes mate, the one that came out on Friday. It's got Clev on the cover.

 

be interesting to read.

Can't wait to get back in the echo, amazing atmosphere!

 

I dont think it's a case of over/under rating either boxer. I reckon they're both at a fairly similar level at the moment.

As for the counter punching thing, obviously we dont know until fight night, but I get the impression that Smigga took that approach just for Quigley. Given that the Quigley fight wasnt the best, I reckon Smigga will revert to type and come forward against Dodson. Also, i dont reckon he'll be too over awed by Tony's power so wont mind getting hit too much.

I really do think this is a close fight and fancy Dodson to take a decision because he's been more active. Although, just occurred to me, that Smith will have a lot more fans in the arena than Dodson. I dont want to look like I'm getting any excuses in early, but Tony will probably have to win rounds fairly convincingly to get the nod. I still reckon he'll do it like.

(watch Smigga spark him out in 1 now - just to make me feel like a numpty)

 

i think smith outboxes dodson early on the stops him in the 7th with a bodyshot

 

When you say more active, what do you mean? Dodson hasn't fought since the quigley fight, whereas smigga has fought 3 times since then.
I do agree though that smigga will revert to type against dodo, as he fought a specific fight against quigley.

 

I mean more active on the night, busier. Throwing more shots.

 

Oh right. smigga does tend to do it in bursts. thing with dodson is that i think he telegraphs his shots a little bit, as smith can sometimes with his right hand. If one of them can show a bit more styyle and disguise this could hold the key to winning the fight

 

guys come on you carnt half talk a lot of rubbish iam gonna smash him its that simple

 

Just opinions mate!

Whatever happns it gonna be a good night!
