Re: nicki smedley v nigel wright
Nigel Wright is a nightmare, with notice, at the right weight he could get in with just about anyone and give them a proper argument. He can box and punch; that poor kid last time :( his manager needs sacking. Wright is no stepping stone, hope Nicki is in good nick and has a game plan or Nigel will clean up.

Re: nicki smedley v nigel wright
Nigel really seems to know what he is doing and looks very grounded, his legs are always under him when he punches or moves. He has got better the last few years; he is British Title material at least.
Re: nicki smedley v nigel wright

Re: nicki smedley v nigel wright
I'm not that sure that the aggression and fire can be taught; some people are naturally passive (even boxers) and some are passive/aggressive and some are just out and out aggressive. Nigel seems to have the temperament to be patient, to pick the shots and box to a win. There's a craft to that but to watch it and get fans they need knowledgeable fans and neighbours. An aggressive fighter; well everyone knows what they are seeing.

Nicki won a junior aba title with a first round stopage and lost in his 1st ever championship in the final to Amir khan on points which was a good fight to watch,he had only 9 fights behind him wen he boxed khan,he had 86 w 80 at that time, he never went senior as he turned over

Massive respect to Smedley if he takes this fight.Wright is more or less British title standard.

Re: nicki smedley v nigel wright
There are more than a few good, spirited boxers between journeyman class and Nigel Wright. I've only seen Nicki box once and obviously you know his talent and potential. I have seen Wright a few times though and he is a real, class and hard 10-12 round boxer. If it comes off and Nicki wins, who does he box then? he's up the top domestic level without the necessary grounding and experience. I understand it must be very frustrating to be slated for 'ticking over' and 'keep busy' bouts but getting fed up with it and throwing him in with a wolf is a risky thing to do IMO. Jamie Speight looked lost against Wright and it was man v boy and Speight is a very decent boxer at his level of experience.steelcity 65 wrote:u know what tommy, loads of people said the same thing when he boxed khan saying khan will ko him this and that, prediction topic on a site all sayin khan ko 1st but how wrong they were, ye he lost cause khan new the computor but it was close khan wobbled a couple of times but an entertaining fight, and I'm sure this will be, we can't win with nicki he gets slagged for beatin journey men and ripped for steppin upTommy Gunn13 wrote:Daft match....Nigel Wright will box his head off,well to soon for this type of match...You must have more faith in your lad than sence,your boys undefeated record will be gone but credit to you both for taken this fight at this stage of his career

Khan certainly was not unknown.To followers of the amateurs he was sh!t hot from about 14 years old.Everyone knew about him,in the north they did anyway.Tommy Gunn13 wrote:Khan was an unknown amatuer then,i think your playing the Khan card to much....Khan wasnt a World Champion then!! keep talking&im sure the sun will pick your story up....steelcity 65 wrote:u know what tommy, loads of people said the same thing when he boxed khan saying khan will ko him this and that, prediction topic on a site all sayin khan ko 1st but how wrong they were, ye he lost cause khan new the computor but it was close khan wobbled a couple of times but an entertaining fight, and I'm sure this will be, we can't win with nicki he gets slagged for beatin journey men and ripped for steppin upTommy Gunn13 wrote:Daft match....Nigel Wright will box his head off,well to soon for this type of match...You must have more faith in your lad than sence,your boys undefeated record will be gone but credit to you both for taken this fight at this stage of his career
