    Because I'm one of the best boxing coaches of all times, I'll tell you all what Smith needs to do here and I'll even do it for free.

    Feint the right hand and then whip a left hook, TM won't see it coming, he turns his head and his right hand is so low he won't get his hands up in time.

    Round 1: 10-9 McCarthy
    Round 2: 10-9 Billam-Smith
    Round 3: 10-9 Billam-Smith
    Round 4: 10-9 McCarthy
    Round 5: 10-9 Billam-Smith

    McCarthy spending like 60 seconds on the ropes trying to be slick but in reality he's just getting outworked and outpunched. What a stupid idea! Finally he goes back to the center and CBS landing some nice jabs and lead left hooks. McCarthy waking up too late in the round and landing some counters but CBS work the first two minutes was just too much.

    Round 1 McCarthy 10-9
    Round 2 Billam-Smith 10-9
    Round 3 Billam-Smith 10-9
    Round 4 Billam-Smith 10-9
    Round 5 Billam-Smith 10-9

    CBS lands a heavy left hook, Tommy trades, pays for it, getting rocked with a one two. CBS catching him with wild looping bombs. CBS gets him along the ropes, nailing him with hook after hook then a naty straight right. Tommy off the ropes. Jabs a little, CBS habbing back, Tomy holds. CBS jabbing his face in. Tommy lands a one two. CBS jabbing to the body now. Dominant rounds from CBS.

    Of course he is. Beating up some bums on the domestic scene in the UK doesn't mean he can punch.

    Imagine having paid 750 notes to go and watch this card. I mean, this fight is reasonably entertaining, but I'd feel annoyed if I'd paid a hundred quid, never mind 750.

    Billam-Smith looks so much stronger, he should walk through McCarthy if he wasn't a big stiff idiot.

    Oh stop complaining Mr G, you've watched the future great Campbell Hatton, worth a £1000 of anyone's monies.

    Round 1: 10-9 McCarthy
    Round 2: 10-9 Billam-Smith
    Round 3: 10-9 Billam-Smith
    Round 4: 10-9 McCarthy
    Round 5: 10-9 Billam-Smith
    Round 6: 10-9 McCarthy

    Battle of the jabs in the sixth. Actually the most technical round so far. Both men working the jab beautifully at times. Nice clubbing right by McCarthy. CBS lunging in with some wild 1,2s but missing nearly everything. McCarthy again doing the better work and landing much cleaner overall. He's bouncing around countering CBS who is just missing with all his attacks. Good round for McCarthy again. CBS getting a bit more aggressive late but not very effective. A cut opened on the right eye of McCarthy from a clash of heads.
