If paul is anywhere near his best he beats zeuge quite easily. Who cares how he got his shot . This is pro boxing. Good luck to him

If the fight was put together in the first place how surprising would it be if paul smith won the fight? Not very back an away win!

Zeuge obviously isn't any sort of world beater but the DeCarolis win arguably eclipses any of Smiths wins. In terms of experience its night and day though and Smiths two unsuccessful attempts at Abraham should stand him in good stead. It's an interesting match up even if it is very uninspiring as a world title contest.
Think I'll go for DeCarolis to grind out a points win.

I want Smiff to win but let's be honest, him getting a title shot is everything that's bad about boxing.
He hasn't beaten one decent opponent.
He's been a pro for well over a decade.
He hasn't beaten one decent opponent.
He shouldn't be fighting for a world title.
He hasn't beaten one decent opponent.
I hope he wins

He seems like a decent chap, good family man, speaks well, seems intelligent enough and his behaviour is exemplary save for what happened at the Liam Williams fight but fairplay to him he was just sticking up for his kid brother.
But all the Sky hype around the Smiffs would be ratcheted up another notch if he won even though everyone who knows anything about boxing, not least Paul himself I'd imagine, knows that he doesn't deserve the shot and he's nowhere near world level and never has been.
Adam Smith will be giving it "Paul Smith joins a long and distinguished list of British SM World Champions" and he'll reel the list off and to name Smigga alongside those guys will frankly be an insult to them.
I just find it all insufferable.

My cousin was at the goodison park show last year early and watched smith in a 6 rounder against an Eastern European. This did not make TV
He said smith struggled and was was bruised up quite a bit as well. That gives me confidence in Zeuge.
Since then Smith has turned down multiple fights to save face ( he 100% turned down Chavez Jr.) so when he loses it is for a "world title" which this isn't.

Paul Smith has faced Andre Ward, Abrahams twice - all on away soil - as well as DeGale and Groves. You can't question his heart, he gets in the ring with these top fighters and gives his best. I accept he's not beaten good class opposition to get another world title opportunity but in this age of multiple world champions, some fighters do get second and third bites of the cherry and thanks to his promoter, Smith has Sky behind him to pay for the rights to UK coverage. It's appalling to learn that apparently the WBA will rank a fighter on demand, but Smith hasn't made up that rule, nor does he control Sky TV. This will be his last big opportunity and I wish him well

Take away the meaningless belt and it's a decent scrap.
Neither are world beaters but Zeuge by far the fresher should win on points.
Hope Smith makes weight or Twitter and this forum will explode.

how touted wa s he as an amateur?
i no he was with Billy graham when he turned
so he'd of been around Hatton etc, I'm assuming he was highly thought of on that basis

Is it a decent scrap though ?I think it may be pretty one sided for Zeuge. De Carolis from what I see would whoop Paul Smith.PredatorHayds wrote:Take away the meaningless belt and it's a decent scrap.

Not only would Christophe Rebrasses wipe the floor with Paul Smith, I believe there are at least 10 super middleweights in Britain ( not including his brother) who would beat him.
I'm out tomorrow anyway and will miss it but I'll be back in the the main fight this weekend.
Hopefully I hear Smith has taken a one sided beat down and out of the sport for good. It will give me something good to watch before the Ward Kovalev fight.

De Carolis only became rated because Zeuge was so poor in fight 1.
At British level Fielding is fighting Cox. I'd pick both over Smigga but feel it would be competetive.
