It only takes one punch, and Smih is not a featherfist.
Remembering his pedigree, I'd say it is possible but unlikely he'll win but everyone thought AA would blast him out in a couple rounds, yet I had him winnig the first fight.

No, he just hasnt trained. Hes here for a pension. Take a look at the weigh in photos. He looks like a white collar boxer. Not someone in the biggest opportunity of his life against one of the best boxers in the world.Quote:

Unless he has been having serious issues making 168, I dont see how this benefits him so I think he must feel stronger. He's most likely going to get a fine and perhaps its his final fight so he wanted to take his best shot. Nice to see Ward get a bad card dealt. Its a non issue since Ward said he was thinking on going to 75 right after the S6.

Hes not there to win.
Its going to be Joshua v Johnson over again.
I think it'll go 12.
Ill be surprised if it goes past 2. Smith clearly has no ambition here judging by his shape and weight.Quote:

I won't. Ward does not have concussive knockout power. He'll probably be too bothered it it doesn't come, Andre needs rounds. No convinced Smith has no ambition, I think he thinks more weight behind his punches give him a better chance of a KO.Quote:

So the gameplan was to not train. Brilliant.
Smith doesn't look happy, seriously looks like he doesn't want to be there and now the situation is worse because he's lost a slice of his purse.
100-1 for Smith in any round at a few bookies 😉
Why has he lost a slice of his purse?
For being a fat cunt basically 😊
Andre Ward branded Paul Smith 'unprofessional' after the British fighter weighed in 4.4lbs over the 172-pound catchweight limit for their Saturday showdown in California.Quote:

For his last fight, against WBO super-middleweight champion Arthur Abraham, Smith weighed 165.5lbs.

Of the three big fights this weekend (Porter/Broner, Lemieux/N'Dam, and Ward/Smith), this is the least exciting. I'm mostly looking forward to seeing the production by Roc Nation. It's a silly opponent for Ward even in a comeback, especially when his last fight was against Rodriguez.
Smith has been eating like a king out there clearly! It's not as if he is bigger because it's all muscle, he looks flabby and fleshy.
