Joel Julio vs. Ishe Smith - April 30th - ESPN2 Wednesday Night Fights

I think Smith outboxes him similar to what Quintana did to him.

 

Good fight for an Espn 2 card.

Sure looks better than that garbage Arum called a card Saturday night on ppv no less.

Smith has the style to beat Julio so this one looks interesting.

I don't care who wins I just think this is a good fight for a Wed. night.

 

I'm taking Julio, although the inactivity (hasn't fought since last July) is worrying. Still, I'm thinking Ishe comes up a little bit short the way he usually does when he's in with better talent. And hey, Julio's L to Quintana (on a brutally hot day in an outdoor arena, IIRC) isn't looking so bad right now.

 

He was robbed by Mora. Smith clearly won that fight. He also beat Powell.

 

For my fellow Colombiano - Julio for the win! He needs to get back on track with his career. I really thought that the weather when he fought Quintana (whom he knocked down too btw) really affected his performance. People forget that it was 100 degree plus weather that day and he looked really fatigued at the later rounds. I really, really want him to get a rematch as I know he can beat Indio.

 

I am excited for this fight. I have been looking forward to it since it was announced.

 

i go with the upset here!

i pick ishe smith to win it.....maybe even by stoppage. all the talent in the world.

 

No way do I see this one ending inside the distance.

 

Ishe doesnt really hit that hard though. And plus, he is a very defensive minded figther. Remeber Ishe vs Powell? Speaking of Powell, where the hell has he been? scratch that i just seen on boxing rec he jsut fought 2 months ago.

 

Shaky chin, the only time this guy went down was because he was exhausted against Rivera. He has a good chin, that's one of his strength's.

 

I'll go with Smith.. I liked Julio but he disappointed me lately

 

Might as well bump this for when the fight starts...

 

any sopcast for this fight? i dont have espn 2 at the moment

 

I like the style matchup here to favor Smith. I think he outboxes Julio and wins a decision. I don't know how entertaining this will be though. Smith by decision.

 

im split as much as i have seen of smith he looks good untill somone throws a jab and he gets stuck behind his defences of moving and leaning...which doesnt do jack for anybody

but julio...good against lower class opposition, brutally destroyed bundrage who was limited anyways. but if he can lose to quintana then ishe might have a good chance of doing it
