This is the final press conference and as we all know its an uphill task for Smith. Its good that we can see Ward back in the ring and may this be the start of him being a lot more active. I think he might go back to 168, there are still fights for him there.
Do we see Smith hearing the final bell in this one?
Smith shocks the world on a split points win.
No reason whatsoever to think this will be competitive.
Can I have some of what you are smoking? ;DQuote:

nobody would be talking about honeygan curry anymore, it would be smith ward, the greatest performance on american soil by a british fighter
Agreed. If theres ever a time for Smith to do it, its right now with Wards inactivity. But it wont happen though.Quote:

Ward has been inactive for long stretches before, if anything taking on Paul Smith at a catchweight was being prepared for the worst case scenario. He's still a young guy and he looks good in the gym from what I saw, it would be shocking to me if there was one close round in this thing, total mismatch.
Paul has absolutely no pressure whatsoever and a nice cheque to pay off his house. Ward is going to have ring rust and maybe significant ring rust with all the pressure in the world placed squarely on him. His chin could easily get checked by punches Smith would never get in had Ward stayed active.

Paul Smith isn't known for being very good though, I think Ward can/will stop him if he wants to. Groves flattened him easily, I didn't see the DeGale fight but he was stopped in that as well, Ward is better than those guys and he can punch enough.
