    I'd rather see Naz fight in the final.

    Accustomed to fighting bums?? Are you saying that Smith has no good wins at all on his record? I will agree he hasn't fought anybody that's truly world class but he's got a far better record at SMW than Eubank.

    His best win is Rocky Fielding which speaks volumes regarding his resume.

    Compared with Eubank Jr's best win at SMW... a faded Arthur Abraham. 4 fights prior to getting shown levels by Groves Jr was fighting Tom Doran in a British middleweight title defence. After worming his way out of meaningful world level middleweight fights because he apparently wanted to win the Lonsdale outright, which he never bothered to do. The mans an out and out fraud, I feel bad for you that you are able to be so easily deceived.

    You're preaching to the choir, my boy.

    You don't need to tell me how water thin Eubank's resume is. However that doesn't mean Smith's is any better.

    I think our debate has run it's course for the time being. Just don't disappear on me if the fight happens, I'd like to talk to you a little more about how much I don't know about boxing and how my posts would get shredded on the main forum....

    Yes there is nothing more left to add.

    We just have to wait for the fight to commence and I assure you I will be here.

    Your right Twenty Smith could win fight on the end of his jab or as I would prefer up close, If he fought that way from the off it would be over within 6 rounds.

    It was a gruelling one to one combat where it became clear that there would be no victor today. Upon this realisation, the two gentleman disheveled and bloodied from their duel agree to call a truce. Standing only a few feet apart they slide their swords back into their sheaths. With a nod of acknowledgement from both combatants, they turn and walk away to fight another day.

    He won comprehensively because he jabbed his way to victory.

    That does not take away the fact that the hobbyist, had his own successful moments during the fight, where he had Smith backed up against the ropes, snapping his head back at will.

    I'd like to see what snacks he'd tuck into between rounds.
