It's pretty obvious from watching who will get who as they edit the programme to show them watching each spar and talk about them..

Smith will surely fight David Banks?

If you want to know, just go to the ESPN website !
It's common knowledge Smigga has Banks in the final eliminator.
However - to progress to the semis Paul's gonna have to stop him cos the best 4 of the 5 remaining go through based upon their result in this round and to be honest they've all been one sided affairs.

Hey Paul.

If you're still around... I gotta know, how much of the "serious" dialogue is rehearsed? Is there ever a Take 2, Take 3, etc?

I see that Paul Smith is not on the show for the Final episode, i thought he was supposed to be boxing a rematch with David Banks.

Anyone know the reason?

Been different this year - been a great series. Sakio Bika isn't all that, but what Sakio Bika is is fringe top ten, independantly - similarly with Sam Soliman.

Imagine if Paul Smith would have faced and beaten Sakio over 10 rounds (which is the final fight distance) - we then have another brit with a geniune claim to being in the world title mix. Smith should have claim to be ranked above Froch. If Jaydon hammers Bika as he has done everyone else so far - then he should spark some new life into the Super Middleweight devision.

When it was only the likes of Manfredo, Gomez, Mora etc - then there was nothing to gauge these keys with. With series 3 its been different, series 2 had an overweight Steve Forbes.

This series have had 2 fring world contenders and not exactly out of their natural fighting weight - Sam has fought at Super Middle before.

Most enjoyable series of the lot, this year.
