    Thats's it, foks. Andre and Anthony Dirrell, also known as the Brothers of Annoyance has been written out of the plot by Euros :p

    What will happen in the SMW division next, you reckon? James DeGale has made himself relevant for sure, and we also have George Groves and Jack Badou around. Not to mention that fella in Oakland who came out of retirement, what's his name again :huh

    I predict that DeGale will face Groves or Badou next. I think both can beat him. I also predict the Oakland fella will annoy the boxing community one way or the other, as is his way.

    Discus.

    Groves beat Badou Jack.

    James and George meet in a unification fight, which would probably be for the Ring/ lineal title too.

    The winner vs. Callum Smith

    Winner of that vs. Rocky Fielding

    Basically The British Isles dominance of the division follows in the footsteps of Calzaghe, Benn, Eubank, Froch, Collins, Reid, Woodhall etc.

    I think it can become quite exciting. We have a few good fighters around who are young and hungry enough to get it on.

    Maybe Paul Smith will after he schools Ward. :lol:

    But when they are making massive money in Britain, why fight todays Ottke in front of one man and his dog in Jokeland

    Ward will most likely beat Smith -even if he really loses he'll get the nod in Oakland in front of his 2,000 fans. He'll have his personal ref, judges, etc...

    The SMW Division has been excellent for a long time, and it appears it will continue to be. A lot of solid fights could be made, and if GGG moves up at some point it cold get even better.
