from Monte Carlo for the WBA SFW Title...

Don't think Smith has the power to stop him but can see him chipping away for a decision.

Easily possible draw when Jason Sosa in the ring

That title is held by Jezreel Corrales.

But ignoring the bullshit titles this is a good fight.

I really want Sosa to win though. As otherwise Gallagher and Hearn will be banging on about having a "World Champion" when they won't have one.

Plus they would do a Scott Quigg and hold off fighting the actual champion. the

WBA are pure slags and will do nothing like they have done with their titles at this weight class before.

I can see Smith outboxing him to a decision around the 116-112 mark.

DSW · Post by **DSW** » 11 Nov 2016, 07:15

Really hope he does it.

Used to work with his Mrs for a few years and she was lovely.

Do the business Swifty

Sona will probably chin him which will be amusing for Paul's reaction if nothing else.

Smith is not good enough to beat Fortuna or go the distance with Walters.

Sosa has to be the favourite here. Smith is bang average. He's been found out a couple of times now and even though Sosa isn't any great shakes I expect him to be much stronger and tougher than Smith and a better boxer overall. Smith doesn't have a good jab and doesn't have good movement.

His lack of head movement which let him down against Pedraza.

Standard attribute of a Gallagher fighter.

Sky sports starts at 7pm with Murray

Sosa by stoppage.

I like Smith but, I see him basically as another Martin Murray. A solid fringe contender who will always fall short at world level.

He becomes predictable as the fight goes on too. Sosa will outmuscle him if he starts the infighting/clinching routine that he does too. Plus his chin is subpar. Sosa is on a run of KO's, in the fights he's won anyway.

All round too solid for Smith I think. I have no faith in Smith's skills to outbox him for 12 rounds.

Amazing to think Smith was about 1/10 vs Selby at the bookies.

On Sky Sports 2 now...

Tangerine · Post by **Tangerine** » 12 Nov 2016, 15:16

is the Murray fight at Super middleweight?

jameswilson · Post by **jameswilson** » 12 Nov 2016, 15:18

Lawal is at 6.5 with some bookies.

Might be a natural middleweight but Murray aint exactly huge at the weight.

Fearful_Freddie · Post by **Fearful_Freddie** » 12 Nov 2016, 15:30

Murray looks massive in there.

Close so far

Expecting Murray to move through the gears as the fight goes on

Lawal is comparably small though. Could probably make LMW.

Boxing Prospect · Post by **Boxing Prospect** » 12 Nov 2016, 15:41

Lawal is nothing great...but Murray looks terrible, huge and terrible

lefty · Post by **lefty** » 12 Nov 2016, 15:43

Murray hasn't looked good to me for awhile. I always thought he was a little overrated anyway.
