    At Middleweight. Great fight. Who wins and how?

    I think BJS could quite comfortably take him apart maybe even more emphatically than DeGale did.

    BJS impressed me on Saturday night, I think he has to much for Paul who is limited to say the least

    Bjs prob is that he doesn't have power and smith can take a shot. Add into the mix that smith is about 1000% better than Hammond and isn't any where near as bad as most people would have you believe on here (just to clarify I'm not saying he's world class at the moment though!!)
    Bjs has good skills and variety and is great to watch. Not a walkover for either fighter though and it's a great fight for the future.
    Think smith is targeting winner of British fight end of this year though

    How tall is BJS?

    He looks too small for middleweight and I think Smith would get the better of him at the moment.

    ( Haven't seen the Hammond fight )

    Think he weighed in at 11.7. I did think to myself watching him how he'd go against Smith. He did look the part but Smith would be a big step up. A few more fights under his belt and it's definitely a fight I'd pay to see.

    bjs showed tremendous variety and movement and ive always thought that he will emerge as the best talent weve got. i feel sorry for smith at this stage in his career as he will more than likely be used as a tough stepping stone for the up and comers and it wont be long before he trains accordingly.

    A much closer fight than some people would imagine it to be but BJS just edging it on points...
