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

he did not look bad against quintana thought. You guys will see, he will be back and become a force at junior middle or welter. He defeintly needs to go to welter i think. Btu 154 is wide open so who knows.

 

I got Julio up after 7

 

Ishe beginning to get his rhythm now, interesting fight although I got Julio edging it, just.

 

Good round for ishe, But julio has prttey good defence also.

 

I scored the fight for Julio 6-4

 

i really think this will be a tough one to judge. Julio was the aggressor the entire fight but really didnt land anything great. Ishe was the counterpuncher. I thought he did a good job counterpunching most of the fight, but he should have let his hands go a little more. However, Ishe did land the more meaningful punches. I can see it being a draw honestly

 

tought loss for Ishe. I feel bad for him. These defensive guys need to understand that great defense doesnt always win fights. You have to let your hands go to get points. You dont get points for dodging punches or blocking them. You get points for landing punches.

 

Ithought Julois's was pretty good also and didn't see that many clean counters from ishe. Julio had good body work early imo. it was a close fight.

 

Scored it 5-4-1 for Julio. Just that little bit more consistent overall.

 

Had it a draw, felt bad for Ishe though, thought he was the more talented guy, he just let's guys outwork him. It's a shame, he wastes his talent.

 

I had it 5-5...I don't think Julio landed one semi-meaningful punch, but Ishe just goes into spells where he is soooo inactive. If he upped his work rate a little bit, he would have won this fight easily

 

Definitely a Julio win. Good fight too.

Ishe needs to fight more, and often. His skill is undeniably there. But from the way he talks, he seems to think he's a star and top contender in deserving of a title shot. He might not be hungry anymore, thinking he's already there.

 

7-3 Ishe.
