Eddie Hearn It's on!!! PaulSmithJnr v Abraham 2 - Feb 21st live on Sky Sports from the O2 Arena in Berlin
He's extremely lucky to get two world title shots. In fact 'lucky' doesn't ever cover it. If only Callum could step in the ring for him.
Good to know that you can lose a fight, have one of the judges score it too wide, and get yourself a second undeserved 'world' title fight. Couldn't care less about the first fight, even less interested this time.
Regardless of anything we think or say Smith must be laughing his head off (so would i be) 2 world title shots without enduring wars or damage, decent money for both i'd imagine (anyone know roughly how much?) and if it goes t^*s up his cosy sky gig will soften the blow , he's certainly landed on his feet. I enjoyed the first fight so i'll likely watch the rematch.
Must admit Hearn has done a great job for his fighter in Securing Smith the fight- he has no chance at winning and obviously it's not eddies money that's being spent so no it's no financial risk for mismatch room but he's done his job
Of course he has a chance, first fight was close, with Smith winning in my and many peoples opinions. So to say he has no chance is nonsense
I was an easy fight to make Eddie and Sauerlands work closely so a voluntary defence after a close one makes sense, the Germans will come back out to watch it has they have previously seen Paul
So that will extend AA reign as WBO beltholder for at least another fight. I like Arthur, but he's clearly past it and never was a true SMW to begin with. He didn't carry his power to the weight and basically is somewhat too small to beat the real top dogs.
