Smigga back down to Middleweight
Re: Smigga back down to Middleweight
I think Macklin is very overrated and Paul, I feel, can take him on.
Barker? Good fighter, maybe a little too smooth.
Good luck Paul.

Re: Smigga back down to Middleweight
Great move in my eyes, he always looked a bit small for super middle. Another good guy in the mix. I know some people dont rate smigga but I like the guy and think he can really move on at Middle.
Re: Smigga back down to Middleweight
Paul still has a real future. He was a good British champion who dropped his belt to a former Olympic champion - hardly Jeff Lacy stuff.
Re: Smigga back down to Middleweight
Well time will tell i suppose. I fancy him against Murray, not sure about Macklin or Barker. All great fights though

Re: Smigga back down to Middleweight
This moving up and down in weight makes me laugh,so firstly he's not as successful as he would of liked at middleweight so he moves upto 168 where he wins the british title but then proceeds to get a whooping off degale and moves back down to 160

Martin Murray vs Paul Smith
What a fight that would be!

Why does it make you laugh? if he's able to comfortably switch weights, then why not do it?lefty wrote:This moving up and down in weight makes me laugh,so firstly he's not as successful as he would of liked at middleweight so he moves upto 168 where he wins the british title but then proceeds to get a whooping off degale and moves back down to 160

Re: Smigga back down to Middleweight
I agree it would be a very good fight indeed however Murray is a Hatton fighter now - so with Smith being with W arren a tadge difficult to make.alexpaterson wrote:Martin Murray vs Paul Smith

Sparx measured punching power on The Contender and I think Smith punched the hardest.

He'll be strong at 160 I think, I think this could be the making of him. Hopefully, the power that was hyped up so much on the contender will return - cause one of the things that dissapointed me with the British title reign was his inability to make much of a dent on Quigley and Dodson - two fighters who have been hurt and put down in the past.

Re: Smigga back down to Middleweight
Barker is the best of the bunch....
Smigga vs Murray would be a good fight, I'd fancy Murray to win that in a war
Noticed Smigga was sat next to Stevie G at the Liverpool match last night, and what a bloody awful match it was..

yeah he beat the likes of bika soliman vera and codrington
Re: Smigga back down to Middleweight
If Smith can keep his enthusiasm with the game - he could do very well. Maybe not at world level. But British and european level for sure.
Re: Smigga back down to Middleweight
Thanks Diggler. I think that was impressive, beating Bika and Codrington for punching power.diggler wrote:yeah he beat the likes of bika soliman vera and codringtonAsterix wrote:Sparx measured punching power on The Contender and I think Smith punched the hardest. Can anyone confirm or correct?
