On board with you here. First I can remember agreeing multiple fights with you. You usually go for the shock factor and would expect you to pick brook to lose this match up.. You're finally sick of trying for the huge upset no one saw coming.. Good for you, that's progress my bill will be arriving within a couple to few weeks. We can schedule your next couch session whenever you're ready
Munguia really needs to work on that awful defense. He loses to a lot of guys as a result..... Smith is only British level and Ali was a blown up chinny Welterweight. Might not be a bad idea to vacate and take a few steps back for a while.
Go up to Kirk's thread, you'd probably be surprised at how often you do actually agree with me,. And no I'm not sick of trying for the "huge upset" that no one saw coming, in the vast majority of high profile matches, I pick the right guy, there's just a handful of fighters that I don't like and root against, and usually end up taking their opponent because I enjoy being a contrarian. Pay closer attention. When I pick an upset, and truly believe in it, you can tell, because I can actually explain how and why it will be an upset, but if I say, well it could happen, that's usually a sign that even I don't believe it and I'm being a contrarian.
If the fight goes to the decision Brook has a great chance to beat Munguia, yes, BUT there is a big IF about that. Smith has a better chin than Brook right now imo.
Brook is twice the athlete that Smith is, a much heavier and sharper puncher. Brook is equal to Smith in the skills department and Smith was handling this kid at times. I have always said Smith is a very good technician and has ring IQ and guts. Smith might be one of the least physically gifted world level talents around. Imagine if you could take the best of Liam and Callum Smith!!! FFs that would be a tough man to beat. Callum is almost the opposite, a supreme physical specimen, with low ring IQ and I think he may not be the grittiest bloke either.. Brook is also much smaller than Smith and has a glass eye and cracked confidence. I don't think that Brook has much of a ring IQ either, he has been frazzled under pressure. Can Brook beat this kid? 110% he can, I'd make him a minor underdog though and can't see him ever taking the risk tbh Brook vs Smith would be a great fight, Liam Williams was also twice the athlete that Smith is and a heavier sharper puncher but got out hustled.
