Paul Smith

What happens now Paul Smith, gave a very good account of himself in Germany, Abraham was
expected to KO Smith but it did not happen, the scoring on the judges cards were abysmal, truly
a grave injustice. I never expected Paul to get the verdict, but the margin in which Abraham was
given was disgusting.!!

I wonder what now for Smith, does he pursue a rematch or set his eyes on one of the other titles,
if he goes for a rematch think long and hard,! in Germany forget about it or could Hearn try to
get Abraham over here, Paul Smith deserves some praise well done.

Ok Paul requested an immediate rematch which he is looking for before the years end.
The WBO are investigating the sketchy scoring and are possibly going to make Paul Abraham's mandatory.

The judge that scored it 119-109 is has been called up to explain his scoring of the fight.

All in all I think Paul deserved the win, or at least a fair scoring, so a rematch should be an absolute certainty.

Paul wants a rematch and should try and get one over here preferably in Liverpool.

I think a rematch is wise for AA, I think he's over the hill and smith is still beatable for him

Although the judges were a joke, I see very little likelihood of a rematch unfortunately, especially not away from home for Abraham. Sauerland just wouldn't let it happen and it would cost Hearn big bucks to get Abraham over and I don't reckon he would take the financial risk.
Sadly, there will always be home decisions, Ricky Burns never gave a rematch over here when he got a dodgy draw against Beltran. It happens everywhere I'm afraid.

I watched the fight without commentary because I was in the pub and they had music on instead, and I had a couple of pints but wasn't drunk and I thought Smith had done enough by a couple of rounds. I hope he can get a rematch.

Germany ıs notorıous for that but not when Foreman got the nod over Axel Schulz.
