Quigg - Simion.... Smith: 'memories of Corrales-Castillo'

[boxingknockout]

Sorry to start a separate thread and it has been mentioned before how Smith constantly compares every Sky fight to some former classic...

But unless I'm going completely mad, and obviously I had been drinking.... but I swear I heard Adam Smith say during the Quigg-Simion: (adopts growl)....'Brings back memories of Castillo-Corrales'!

Did I really hear that?

[lefty]

[Flump]

He mentioned Corrales - Castillo, can't remember the context to be honest.

I do remember him saying during the heavyweight fight around round 8 when Klitschko was in the ascendancy that there would have to be a rematch, whatever the outcome. He wasn't saying that when Joshua won.

That's right up there with 'When you beat a legend, you become a legend'---uttered by Aussie commentary after Green stopped Jones

I'm sure in a decades time, we'll all be sitting back and reflecting on the unforgettable battle that was Quigg-Simion

[TheLeprechaun]

He completely ruins every sky event and has been an absolute scourge on boxing for decades. Please f*ck off and retire you pr*ck.

[pimp]

The blokes an absolute weapon and shocking commentary, typically up sky's and Eddie boys arse, can't stand the cuntt

[Stuarty]

Not really relevant to this thread but can you imagine Smith on the bones? I'd pay money to watch that shìt! I bet he howls like a wolf when he blows his beans

Ever since I first heard it, I've tried to use it at every possible opportunity. Particularly entertaining when shouted out loud after beating a mate at FIFA or after beating my 2 year old son in a heated game of Snap.

That's what i like to hear,modest in victory

only missing a Morales-Barrera reference and we'd have had Adam Smith bingo

My favourite bit of commentary was the American dude that done Froch v Taylor. 'I'm coming back to England Ma'

That Aussie quote must be the worst / best ever...... let's follow some of his logic (and for this I'm assuming that he refers, purely to wins after fighter is considered a legend, rather than retrospectively so that we can't assume that early losses by EG Hagler / Hopkins can be considered 'legends')

Glen Johnson also beat Roy Jones Jr, so therefore is a legend. Which means Clinton Woods, Chad Dawson (double legend), Tavoris Cloud, Bute, George Groves, Erik Skoglund and Avni Yildirim (?) legends. Also Fonfara is a legend. And as Joe Smith kod Fonfara in a round, that makes him an emeritus Legend.

So Smith - Hopkins was the legend superfight of the century etc etc.

If you follow this rationale ad infinitum I'm sure you'll find that 75 % of boxers are technically legends...

[boxingknockout]

Anyway, technically Quigg is also a legend: Johnny Tapia (legend) lost to Frankie Archuleta, who lost to Hazegawa, who lost to Kiko Martinez, who lost to Scott Quigg.

That's true in the same way that 60% of fights 'have got a bit of Barrera-Morales to them'

[ElJefe]

Just consider ourselves lucky that there was no all-Brit fight on there so we didn't have to hear about how it had shades of Benn, Eubank, Collins and Watson.

Don't worry we will soon have Kal Yafai - Muranaka which will certainly have shades of and invoke great memories of the back and forth wars between Dave McCauley and Fidel Bassa

Lol,McAuley/Bassa would be much too niche for Smtiith unless he happens to read it on here

Good point..... how about 'memories of the Humberto Gonzalez - Michael Carbajal trilogy' ?(although as Smith only got into boxing after the famous 'fan man fight' he would've missed the first one )

[Counter-puncher]

Nah, it's Castillo-Corrales or Barrera-Morales

Kind of like football didn't exist before the Premier League...

Good point!

Although after Klitschko - Joshua, Adam will have another fight to add to his repertoire..... I wonder how many times we'll hear at any heavyweight contest "memories of the unforgettable Joshua-Klitschko fight"

[ElJefe]

About time someone made an Adam Smith bingo isn't it? We've already got one for Jim Watt, Carl Froch, Eddie Hearn, Tony Bellew and allegedly. Wouldn't mind seeing a joint one for Left Hook Smith and Johnny Nelson.

[forcefraser]

Where is the eddie hearn Bingo? I have not seen that one.

The showtime crew did a great job that night. It was great commentary
