Gentlemen should bathe daily to avoid "Smigga" around their genitalia.
Maybe he feels he has nothing left, all fighters grow old at some point, and is taking the pay days.handsofstone wrote:Smith put in a great effort in the first Abraham fight so why in hell did he just stand with his hands in his face in the 2 fights since??
Its almost as if no effort went into beating Ward,either in training or in the fight itself

I mean, after the first AA fight, it's like he was a national hero and should have gotten the decision. Now he's just a loser. I've noticed the same thing with Witter, Haye, and countless others.
It might actually be a compliment, I suppose in a sense. You guys seem to hold your fighters up to a higher standard than the Americans. If a Paul Smith level fighter in the U.S. loses three title fights, ok, he isn't elite, but maybe he can still be in some good lower level fights down the road, it's not that bad* In the U.K., he almost becomes a pariah of sorts.

I strongly disagree. In fact, I'd go as far as say you're talking gallagher.Bobbyptsd wrote:You Brits turn on fighters really easily, in my view. I don't mean that in an insulting way, it's just something I've noticed over he years.

People dislike Smith that much they are considering overlooking him for the inaugural award made in his own nameBosh Dorigo wrote:Thank you![]()
My nomination for the first 'SMITH OF THE MONTH' is the eponymous SMITH who was the inspiration for this (soon to be) highly coveted award.
Though I do believe that Adrian Broner is worthy of consideration too.
He had neither the conditioning or the courage to try to box Ward, I've seen journeymen boxers give far better accounts of themselves against men far more talented, (than themselves, not Ward).thechump wrote:Did paul smith box on saturday night?

Hey, I'm telling you what I notice as an observer. I could be completely wrong of course. A brit might have a better view than me, or maybe my eyes are fresher. Probably a mixture of both, I suppose.Ricky_ wrote:Bobbyptsd wrote:You Brits turn on fighters really easily, in my view.

Brits are probably among the most loyal fans when the fighter they are fans of are worthy of such support. No better example than Ricky Hatton. Listen to his crowd even in defeat to Floyd.
Hatton genuinely faught for the pride of his fan base. Tbh i myself was never a Hatton diehard but now he's gone I teally long for a new Hitman Hatton.
