Sorry to start a separate thread and it has been mentioned before how Smith constantly compares every Sky fight to some former classic...

But unless I'm going completely mad, and obviously I had been drinking.... but I swear I heard Adam Smith say during the Quigg-Simion: (adopts growl)....'Brings back memories of Castillo-Corrales'!

Did I really hear that?

He mentioned Corrales - Castillo, can't remember the context to be honest.

I do remember him saying during the heavyweight fight around round 8 when Klitschko was in the ascendancy that there would have to be a rematch, whatever the outcome. He wasn't saying that when Joshua won.

That's right up there with 'When you beat a legend, you become a legend'---uttered by Aussie commentary after Green stopped Jones

I'm sure in a decades time, we'll all be sitting back and reflecting on the unforgettable battle that was Quigg-Simion

He completely ruins every sky event and has been an absolute scourge on boxing for decades. Please f*ck off and retire you pr*ck.

The blokes an absolute weapon and shocking commentary, typically up sky's and Eddie boys arse, can't stand the cuntt

Not really relevant to this thread but can you imagine Smith on the bones? I'd pay money to watch that shìt! I bet he howls like a wolf when he blows his beans

Ever since I first heard it, I've tried to use it at every possible opportunity. Particularly entertaining when shouted out loud after beating a mate at FIFA or after beating my 2 year old son in a heated game of Snap.

That's what i like to hear,modest in victory

only missing a Morales-Barrera reference and we'd have had Adam Smith bingo

My favourite bit of commentary was the American dude that done Froch v Taylor. 'I'm coming back to England Ma'

That Aussie quote must be the worst / best ever...... let's follow some of his logic (and for this I'm assuming that he refers, purely to wins after fighter is considered a legend, rather than retrospectively so that we can't assume that early losses by EG Hagler / Hopkins can be considered 'legends')

Glen Johnson also beat Roy Jones Jr, so therefore is a legend. Which means Clinton Woods, Chad Dawson (double legend), Tavoris Cloud, Bute, George Groves, Erik Skoglund and Avni Yildirim (?) legends. Also Fonfara is a legend. And as Joe Smith kod Fonfara in a round, that makes him an emeritus Legend.

So Smith - Hopkins was the legend superfight of the century etc etc.

If you follow this rationale ad infinitum I'm sure you'll find that 75 % of boxers are technically legends...

Anyway, technically Quigg is also a legend: Johnny Tapia (legend) lost to Frankie Archuleta, who lost to Hazegawa, who lost to Kiko Martinez, who lost to Scott Quigg.

That's true in the same way that 60% of fights 'have got a bit of Barrera-Morales to them'

Just consider ourselves lucky that there was no all-Brit fight on there so we didn't have to hear about how it had shades of Benn, Eubank, Collins and Watson.

Don't worry we will soon have Kal Yafai - Muranaka which will certainly have shades of and invoke great memories of the back and forth wars between Dave McCauley and Fidel Bassa

Lol,McAuley/Bassa would be much too niche for Smtiith unless he happens to read it on here

Good point..... how about 'memories of the Humberto Gonzalez - Michael Carbajal trilogy' ?(although as Smith only got into boxing after the famous 'fan man fight' he would've missed the first one )

Nah, it's Castillo-Corrales or Barrera-Morales

Kind of like football didn't exist before the Premier League...

Good point!

Although after Klitschko - Joshua, Adam will have another fight to add to his repertoire..... I wonder how many times we'll hear at any heavyweight contest "memories of the unforgettable Joshua-Klitschko fight"

About time someone made an Adam Smith bingo isn't it? We've already got one for Jim Watt, Carl Froch, Eddie Hearn, Tony Bellew and allegedly. Wouldn't mind seeing a joint one for Left Hook Smith and Johnny Nelson.

Where is the eddie hearn Bingo? I have not seen that one.

The showtime crew did a great job that night. It was great commentary
