[Covfefe]

Super super middleweight champion.

Does he know something I don’t?

[Ruthless-RKO]

WBA ‘super’ super middleweight

[Covfefe]

WBA ‘super’ super middleweight

Yeah I just realised. It sounds particularly stupid in this division.

[jamamb]

outside hw cal is the biggest fighter for his division at any weight

[Ruthless-RKO]

[skanksta]

Canelo ain't going anywhere near that.

For an elite boxer Smith is slowish.., a little plodding.., but is he the biggest SMW in the history of the division ?
You don't have to be that good when you that big.

Jarret Hurd seems massive at 154.

[jamamb]

he has plodding feet but sharp hands, that counter left is very nice

[Dirk Kelly]

There isn’t much at the weight for him.

Eddie in a tux, where’s the usual turtle neck or the latest Essex fashion?

[jameswilson]

Good to see that Joe Gallagher is so realistic of Smiths bargaining power vs the biggest name in boxing that he feels he can say ‘the fight happens at Anfield or not at all.’

[Ruthless-RKO]

[skanksta]

Tunde Ajayi vs Tesco Joe @ The MEN

PPV with Smith vs Yarde on the undercard.

Edit.
That was a reply to JamesW

[KiwiRider]

Yeah right.
BJS should have used this emoticon because watching him run for 12 would put us in a coma

Cripes!
Having the stats laid out like that makes the mismatch seem even worse- without even seeing Ruiz with his shirt off

[Ruthless-RKO]

[skanksta]

Sweet Caroline, casuals singing, 1/50 favourites and dodgy hometown decisions for GB&I fighters @ MSG in NYC.

Eddie gets a lot of stick and rightly so - but he's managed to export his crud to America and they seem to be loving it.

Russ Abbott would love it @ The Garden tonight.
