Erislandy Lara - Ishe Smith tonight

Smith starting to ask himself why he didn't stay in the cab. He is trying, but man he is being stuck on the end ugly.

Smith looks confused to me. Lara landing at will with his laser beams.

Thought that 7th was Lara's sharpest round. Throwing rocks at an elephant. 6 7-1 Lara

An okay fight, but nothing exciting. Had Lara winning that easily.

Predictable. Ishe "Someone hand me a Tissue" Smith had nothing to offer a guy like Lara.

no surprises here, smith has always sucked.

Hope I'm wrong, but it's about as pleasing a stylistic matchup on paper as Tarver-Banks was last night.

When I read your post I was thinking the opposite, who did Smith piss off?
Lara is a tough task for anyone and I've never had a real high opinion of Smith. To win against Lara you need great speed and skills that Smith will never have. It would help to have a judge or two in your pocket too. Lol
I understand he gets a good payday, but unless it was a huge payday (like against Mayweather), I'd rather fight someone I had a chance against.
It's like they're keeping Lara busy/pacified until another huge fight can be made. Could Smith be the Lamb?

Lara won?
