Decided to make a new thread for this as it clashes with the boxnation card.

A look ahead to Paul Smith's bid to become a world champion at the third time of asking.
The Liverpool man, who twice lost to Arthur Abraham in his two previous tilts at world honours, will face WBA 'regular' super-middleweight champion Tyron Zeuge this Saturday night, live on Sky Sports.
The 34-year-old Smith readily admits that age is not on his side and has vowed to seize what he has described as his 'last chance' to become a world champion.
It has been a long and often arduous road for the two-time British champion who made his professional debut over fifteen years ago and on Saturday he can realise a life-long ambition.
'Smigga' will once again look to strike gold on German soil, the setting of his two points defeat to the then WBO champion Abraham.
This time though, he will go up against a younger opponent in Zeuge who will be looking to make the second successive defence of his WBA belt.

The 25-year-old Zeuge (20-0-1-KO11) comes into Saturday's contest with a near perfect record, a majority draw with Italian Giovanni De Carolis last year the only blotch on his record.
That result meant De Carolis retained his WBA belt and when the two fought again Zeuge secured a dramatic late stoppage to claim the title. The German has since defended the WBA belt against Isaac Ekpo.
Smith will be hopeful that it is third time lucky as he looks to extend Britain's domination of the super-middleweight division, Zeuge the only obstacle in the way of him achieving a lifelong dream.

I have to say I don't mind Paul Smith but I almost hope he doesn't win this, I mean he must have sucked some serious dick to this many world title shots and lets be honest, he isn't world class
On a side note I have just seen a car race past outside my flat at about 100mph followed by 5 police cars and a police motorbike
poor bastard must have had tinted windows or something

I haven't seen Smith throw anything with any meaning in the second round
Re: Paul Smith v Tyron Zeuge 17/6/17 Sky Sports
Aye Smith wobbled him but it didn't take long for him to get his legs back underneath him did it, wasn't nothing major but Smith will take heart from that
Re: Paul Smith v Tyron Zeuge 17/6/17 Sky Sports
good right hand from Smith at the end of the round there
did you watch that Little Boy Blue thing that was on tv a few months back, about that little Everton fan that got shot? Paul Smith had a little part in it
