Rah, Ali is the fight I was hoping Eddie would poach for Kell. Here's hoping they get the winner in the ring before 2018's end.
I am not sure about Ali's chin, he seemed like food for Jesse Vargas who isn't a puncher. All credit to him for getting a W over Cotto. Liam Smith isn't "world class" as Warren/BoxNation claim, he seems to be a tough but lazy fighter and basic boxer to me although he showed more in the Williams rematch.
Actually I would really like to see Brook vs Smith though I doubt it ever happens. I think they sparred just before Brook/Spence. Smith is slightly better than Rabchenko.
I'm rooting for Smith here. Seems like a decent bloke. Plus, as much as I hate the fat b1tch, Joe Gallagher is a decent coach. I thought Brook would go after Ali but he propably wanted none of it. I imagine he doesn't want to take any risks until he gets a chance to shatter Amir's glass. 2018 could be the year of shattered LMW glass.
Should be an ok fight.. Not a big fan of either but if anything I think Ali may win a decision here..
Ali is much better then the trash Smith fought in his title run apart from Canelo so unless Ali folds like the pieces of wet cardboard Smith fought before Canelo Ali could win on points
Going for Saddam by clear UD. British Beefy didn't look very convincing in his 2 previous fights against Williams, while Ali did against better competition.
