Paul Smith twitter comment on the prizefighter final

[Rocky Balboa]

Paul Smith is right. Both Witter and El Maachi are twats.

Whether he's right or wrong, Common Sense should Prevail & he should know not to post such a thing!

[mickey1975]

I didn't particularly like the way Smith reacted to a Carl Dilks post on this forum sometime ago. Fair play, opinions are like ar5eh0les, we all have them. Dilks came back on after the DeGale fight and made some posts which I really respected him for. Smith vanished after his fight with De Gale. Of course he owes us nothing, and it was great to hear his views while he was on here. I just can't help thinking of the football chant, 'you only sing when your winning'. Paul is a clever man, and he must know what it looks like but he's obviously got bigger fish to fry. Good luck to him.

As for Bellew, he is probably the most passionate boxer I have seen post about the sport. I think he acts the same way on here that he would if he was just another fan. IMO he would be a far bigger loss to the forum.

I love Bellew's post on here. But he takes criticisms on here are lot more reasonably than he does at press conferences

Let's fight now you f**kin rat!!!!

El maachi is a good person and a good friend, one of the best guys I know!

he's my mate now too, after winning me a tidy little profit last night :)

And mine ;) Did you not have a wager on him Jeffro??

I must say that while my head went off the rails for a min it was purely cos he stated he'd take me outside right now! I can deal with being called bum and the usual stuff but when he told me he'd take me outside that was it! But Eh I'll learn from it and it'll only make me more aware

I've missed the forums of late, I'll start getting back on it guys

Just to say too, I post cos I enjoy it and also cos I'm first and foremost a boxing fan!

Let's fight now you f**kin rat!!!!

[Scottrf]

Tony Bellew is definitely the worst poster, not sure why anyone likes him.

[Crazyboy]

met el maachi last night and had me pic taken with him in the ring.....he couldn't have been nicer, he even made sure the missus's old man got a pic in the ring too, was literally 5 mins after the fight...really nice guy.

No idea what Smith is on about?

[jBacca]

Witter is a tw@t and El Maachi could have easily been perceived as one. He's not ragging their boxing skills (which would have been disrespectful).

Personally though, I like El Maachi and can see through the bravado. Definitely gained a fan in me last night.

Witter is a plonker.

[Jeff Thomas]

I could divulge a lot more about el maachi that would make you like him even more but I'll leave that to the writers

[jBacca]

I watched PF last night hoping El Maachi got sparked. After the interview for his first win I changed my tone completely as I realised he was a nice guy.

Seems to love the sport despite his setbacks.

[keithmoonhangover]

It a bit childish if you ask me.

It's like me, I hate my boss and thank he is a complete knacker, but I'd never say it on a public forum. Ohh wait, I just did. It's to late now, I've almost pressed SUBMIT.

[mpurintun]

Some of you are really sensitive. Go get laid...

[chiggsy]

"Arguably 2 of the biggest twats in boxing in the final!"
Well done to paul smith firstly for making welterweight and secondly for getting to the final of prizefighter.

[rhino222]

There's a lot of hypocrisy on these boasts - and Paul is a boxer and warrior, has more right to criticise other fighters.

Unlike all the keyboard nerd warriors here criticising him. So many boxrec posters are gross hypocrites, who criticise fighters until they appear on Boxrec, then brownose them, then criticise them when they have a disagreement (see Smith, Bellew etc)

No wonder so many boxers hate the Boxrec forum

but he should be respectful to any fellow professional, they both earn the same coin.

Your boss think Del Boy going to win!

Very good mate.

I think he comes across a top lad on Boxrec&is a very good poster,even if you disagree with him he takes it on the chin&comes back with a good response&seems a very down to earth bloke...

Yeah, was just messing with him because he was online.

We are all fans first and foremost

Paul Smith was happy chatting to posters, some he agreed with, others he didn't. Then stopped posting after he lost to Degale.

That's his choice.

His mocking other fighters, in public, wasn't the greatest thing he has ever done, but he does always shoot from the hip.

Paul just comes across angry....very angry. He will chill out once he gets his career back on track. People shouldn't judge him too harshly based on a few incidents.

He's probably is a sound lad, in person. Most people are different, when you meet them in person.

Some good points, I bet he's a sound lad to meet in person, came across as the sort who'd be good to go for a pint with. I agree you can never overly judge someone off a forum, I think he just bit on some people's criticisms and got a bit carried away. Criticising other active boxers don't do him any favours tho tbh.

[Dioufy]

How long has he been hanging out with Stevie G? He's turned into a cock in the last few months and I wonder whether the 'lifestyle' makes him look down on folk. I dunno though.

[ryan917]

Paul Smith is a twat and Patrick Mendy will render him unconscious for the disrespect Paul has shown him

[IRLangmaid25]

there are so many pudenda on twitter givin it the big un but cant take it when it comes back at them, saw some little fag boy from manchester called paddythacelt call ash theopane a pussy cos ash blocked him as he was calling hima bitch for not fighting gavin...ash would fck thelittle fag up..i fckin hate internet warriors

and paul smith, lost his british title to a 10 fight novice, then call witter a twat..what a c@nt he is as well..but he has his little hangers on bigging him up, nobhead

And said 10 fight novice was a former Olympic gold medalist at Middleweight.

[hurlock]

quiet funny.good at giving it, but terrible at taking it :!:

el machi must have jaw ache from all the fake smiling DD

bellew was great how he calmed down & then turnt the tables on clev calling him a prick by saying, nice that really classy, you should be ashamed of yourself :!:

pals of mine also found it hilarious how bellew turnt one question into a presidents speech & being clapped everyone loves a character :!: bellews is a loveable character outside the ring, but a crazed animal inside it.

Don't ever leave the forum Tony! Look at the abuse you will get!
