    :bump

    So Made this thread and good while back. Was hoping to bump it after a glorious night for ''2 Smooth'' but sadly wasn't meant to be. I'm typing quite choked tbh. As i said in other threads i grew up watching Jason and Nicky. I never thought i see the day he fight for world title after he left the sport. I remember the days at the Harvey Hadden him and his bro tearing it up. He had near misses in EBU title fights. When he came back i could not foresee a night like tonight.

    When i saw Booth making his ''resurrection'' all i could hope for was maybe a EBU title shot. Jason shows no fear out of ring or in it, he stepped up and took on men bigger then himself and Frank Maloney handed him a title shot that read like a rocky story, I'm gutted as i right this but i know in time i can accept that Molitor may of walked away with the belt but Jason was the true winner.

    I couldn't believe the start, i thought the dream was coming true, But as the fight wore on Jason wore down and the fight started to slip away. I was so stressed shouting at him through tv to move and use his feet but you could see the bodyshot's were taking it's toll. Wanted him to do it so badly...but i know now that's not how the story was meant to end. Every day Jason's winning his real fight.

    Having now cooled off i just wanna give credit to a man who really does have a sob story. None of that HBO crap. This is a real guy who's had a real life.

    Jason's always had world class ability and in my heart will always be one of my favorite fighters. The genuine nice guy who has heart size of the world. I wish him all best if he decides that he can't get any better then tonight. He put on fantastic display and showed he could fight at world class level and he ain't boring either :bbb:lol:.

    I thought i bump so that people can add there views on ''2 Smooth''. I hope he won some fans tonight and over last 2 years :happy

    Really like Jason.
    Embarrassed me live on Sky a long time ago! Skills to burn and to have come back from the life he was living, and to challenge for a genuine world title shows what the man is made of.
    Proud to have shared a ring with him and am so pleased he's got his life back on track.

    Nice Touch Dave :good

    Funnily enough posted your fight with him in the RBR tonight :lol:.

    As you say the main thing that he changed his life, the title may not be with him but you could see he just happy to be back doing what he loves and tonight back home with his children.

    Boxing can be such a beautiful thing. :happy

    :yep totally agree.

    What i like about Booth is the smile, always happy. He signed an autograph for me, guy i know who works for Maloney asked him if he be ok to sign it for me and he said course. Really nice of guy, He go down as one of my fav all time fighters. Even though he never grace the heights of others in my ''HOF'' :lol:

    I really like Jason a genuine guy and he is always positive he was smiling after tonight that really says everything about him. I hope he moves back down to 118 he was clearly smaller then Molitor (he won't make the excuses but I will)

    Well done Jay i'm sure you will get your props off most Brit ESB posters when they either log on or stop crying about the "Shocking news " that Ricky does a line or two when he is on a bender . Doh
