Did anyone read the recent comments made by Degale in BN? when asked Why do you think Paul Smith has yet to fulfil his potential as a pro? Degale replied: Maybe Smith is lazy he looks a bit overweight but i dont know i dont want to trash talk or bad mouth him The old i dont want to say anything bad BUT..... lol Anyway this should suitably anger avid
I reckon DeGale will definitely get his chin tested in this fight at least. He doesnt really seem that elusive considering how 'slick' hes supposed to be. I cant wait for this fight!
Horton was hitting degale for Christ sake. Degale ain't that hard to catch. What I think people are banking on is degale flurrying quickly a la calzaghe tbh. Degale is going into the trenches.
I fear in this fight that Smith will have to ensure that he's throwing enough shots each round to convince the judges and that's not really his game. Heart says Smigger, head says degale UD. Sorry avid.
No worries paddy, I get why people see this fight as difficult for smith. I think it will be for a period. But I am confident smigga has his own success on the inside, uppercuts through the middle. Smigga has had good successes versus taller opposition, I think it can play to smiggas strengths to be honest. I would just live to come back on here and say to every one, there you go, I told ya! I was confident when this fight was announced, and I am still confident. Smigga tko9. I've Been saying it all along, and I will stick to my guns!
if smigga loses i think he should go back to campaigning at middleweight, he does look a bit fleshy at SMW & im sure his power would be more evident when fighting people he is naturally just as big as...
exactly. did anyone see the face to face smith and degale had at the press con? degale is much bigger than smith naturally, lets not forget that quigley-smith probably should've been a MW brit title fight, neither should be SMW i think. i know everyone aint gonna look like pacman but its clear from the way smith fights, he aint athletic at all, this is obviously reflected in his training. don't tell me smith can't improve his physique. athleticism and mobility through intensive training as he can. anyone that says otherwise is talking balls. this training would help his physique and shift a few pounds. i read billy graham said Paul Smith was the hardest puncher p4p he'd trained...and he ain't putting folk away at SMW so why not go to MW where he'd have the advantage?? i refuse to believe smith can't get to MW. dedication, belief and hard work will do wonders. if he doesn't believe he can get downto MW, well he never will. thats a given. i think degale is going to walk this, its gonna be very one-sided IMO
I seen DeGale in the flesh...he's a big SMW. He will venture to 175lbs in future for sure. Smith is a blown up SMW....very flabby around back. Never looks in supreme shape but seems to have good cardio but lacks power.
True dat paddy! There's a future for smith, just personally feel it should be mw. Then again I'll support him either way. Just shocked at the nature if the loss, especially the last couple of rounds
