    It was in the sense that Smith didn't do enough to take the title.

    How many rounds do you have to win to "take the title"?

    That's nonsense, and has no bearing.

    If you're saying Smith didn't do enough to win 7 rounds then I agree, but to suggest that because Simpson is the beltholder going in he hold some sort of advantage when scoring is simply untrue.

    You score more points, you take the title. Theres no "champ" when the bell rings.

    The only sense in which a title needs "taking" is that if the fight is a draw the champ keeps the belt.

    don't think that fight lasted long enough to break the 1000 mark ;)

    I think it was about 3am (cater to the Americans bollocks).

    I remember there being a delay beforehand as well. Think they were due for a 2am start, but something/someone ****ed-up (or cater to the Americans again bollocks).
