True......................

He started well before you did Curtis and you have achieved a lot more. Shame because Smedley had a lot of talent, but he has been too inactive and just didn't progress. I think it's been over a year since he lost to Nigel Wright.

a big waste of talent, got all the moves but lacks the heart and drive to train and dedicate his life to the game, thats why somebody like me with loads less talent would beat him, ive seen it a million times in football and boxing, the ones with the most talent dont always go the furthest, and before i get his fan boys on here slating me this is just my honest oponion on the matter, ive met the lad a couple of times and he seems a good lad but the facts speak for themselves

A friend of his told me he'd allegedly bulked up to 14 stone body-building.

Defo wasted natural talent

But you need more than god given talents.... And he just don't have the rest

He will be 10.7 in feb then down to 10 he never went bodybuilding,just liked his food and went to 13 stone but sinse h then he as ettled down and had a kid its made him grow up,he sells loads if tickets and a fight with curtis would sell a venue and it would be a nice win for curtis wouldnt it

I have zero interest in that fight, 2 years ago it made sense, now it means nothing, I wish him well in his future but that won't involve me

A nice and easy defence against a sheffielder with a good record and an owls fan sounds good and as he as been so inactive should b a walk in the park for u

Very similar posting style to Smedley's Dad!

Sorry not his dad but a close pal.

His dad aint that bothered over pro boxing,he is focused on building the manor gym with steve barnes and getting making another amateur club,the gym on the manor is lookin good sinse getting robbed,stevr and smedley senior will make a great team and will produce some top kids

Yep, talent alone is nowhere near good enough to make it in competative sport. I don't think that Smedley ever got used to the pro game after moving from the amateurs. As you say, you have to dedicate yourself to the sport completely.

last chance for smedley, he needs to give it a go or he will regret the wasted opportunity in later life.
