Round-by-Round: Liam Smith vs. Anthony Fowler - 9 October 2021

[margaret thatcher]

i dont mind bellew tbh, same goes for liam/callum/stephen smith. actually if anything i like them all. liam especially i like his boxing style. strong with really good fundamentals

paul smith is a total cockhead though, someone was saying here recently that people bully him too much, but the dude makes his own bed

i do think he's decent for the most part as a commentator/analyst, but get any sort of interaction with the public and he's pretty much impossible

[Counter-puncher]

Fowler seeming a lot like Josh Kelly - too big at the weight to have any stamina ?

that was the exact comparison that came to my mind

Williamson v Cheeseman was incredible viewing as expected, one hard hard fight too many for Ted who obviously takes a lot of punishment, Williamson has some pop also. Smith v Fowler went to the script I expected, Liam too tough and seasoned to be put away early on and he cut the ring off nicely as things progressed, good all-round fighter.

That was the first time Ted's chin has let him down. I hope it is a lesson to him, and his team.
I can see him at 26 developing further, but the defense seriously needs attention.
I wasn't scoring the fight (too biased and wrapped up in the action) so I'm interested in how you lot thought he was doing on your score cards up until the penultimate round?

Williamson one up but the rounds were really close

Paul Smith is an embarrassment.
He just wants to be contrary and when someone replies with rationale his true persona kicks in.
Was a complete joke him and the other corner man yelling at a fighter who is hurt.
The hate was palpable; it’s quite a concerning trait.
Maybe the heavy Groves KO is finally coming to fruition.
You need to have boxed at a high level to have an opinion on boxing it seems.

I felt it was close, but I was so wrapped up I don't trust my impartiality
