"K9" Bundrage vs. Ishe Smith - Saturday night fight/chat thread

:pimp2: I'm not a big fan of "K9" or Ishe Smith but this might be an entertaining scrap Saturday night.

Feb. 23
At Detroit (Showtime): Cornelius "K9" Bundrage vs. Ishe Smith, 12 rounds, for Bundrage's IBF junior middleweight title; J'Leon Love vs. Derrick Findley, 10 rounds, junior middleweights; Badou Jack vs. TBA, 8 rounds, super middleweights.

Gotta go with K9 by UD or a TKO, but i'd love to see Ishe pull off the upset.

:drunks:

If Ishe cant beat K9 he needs to find another line of work. Quite possibly the weakest belt holder in all of boxing.

Ishe Smith is/was a guy with a ton of talent who could never seem to put it all together. On skill, he should beat K9, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him lose (probably because he'll only average 7 punches throw per round).

You are probably right about Bundrage, but I think he wins by decision.

Any man who beat the snot out of Cory Spinks not once but twice!! gets my vote ;D

Honestly, as a "fighter" hes not complete rubbish. Wreckless, wild free swinger with two left feet...give me more! For the life of me I cannot like Ishe Smith. Its not in my DNA. His boring and snoring his way through a fight is so stale. I got K9 on points.

Agree with everything you said

But for some reason I'm wanting Smith to win

Trying to decide who has the better plus side in victory? Bundrage slightly I suppose!?

What direction does the winner take? Molina? Kirkland?

Style and fan friendly TV wise its Bundrage on plus side. Smith is gloved insomnia and can stink it out enough to make all look bad and put fans to bed. Only thing worse than a champion who may suck a bit is a champion who fights like hes doing you a favor and in slow motion at that :-X I think challengers would take K9 for all his perceived vulnerability, he is very much punch friendly.

In the back of my mind at jr middle I see...want...Bundrage vs Angulo! Hide the kids.

This!

You get in there with that strong, determined, awkward tank and see how easy it is. ;D

The guy is limited, but he's very difficult to fight. Very strong for the weight class and has a ton of heart. He knows how to land his shots and close the gap to clinch before he gets countered. A bit like Hatton used to be, minus the speed and polish.

:bag:
Not the greatest fight tonight on Showtime from Detroit, but hey homies it's some championship boxing, and might be a decent tussle. This card starts in the States/Canukland @9:00 PM ET or @3:00 AM for you night owls across the pond in the UK.

K9 a "world champion." Good grief. If I could make 154 I'd make a comeback.

K9's Jr. middleweight "title" is a well kept secret, if word got out that K9 was a "world champion", he might have to fight someone with a pulse.

cheers

Here's my date for tonight, best pussy i've ever had ;)

http://thehostages.files.wordpress.c...ed-twj9mqp.jpg

:pimp2: Alright homies, here we go with the Showtime card, Al Bernstein, Paulie Malignaggi and Mauro calling the action from Detroit, Brian Kenny in the Studio, 1st up J'Leon Love vs. Derrick Findley, 10 rounds, junior middleweights. Floyd the "Promoter" a guest host and working J'Leon Love's corner.

So Price got stopped by Tony the "straycat" Thompson? too funny. :-X

Findley is the sacrificial lamb here.. :rolleyes:

Goin old school...Red Stripe :-X

Know what, not minding Floyd here. Yes, Hell must be froze over. Cheers Gents

As much as I hate to admit it, Floyd has been really great for American boxing, I really like his commitment.
Findley not coming here to lose, but he probably will, Love going low in the 2nd round.

A couple of Grolsch for me earlier, sipping on a Spaten Optimator at the moment.

I haven't had a good look at the Corona girls yet.

cheers

Love is the physical and literal double of Devon Alexander. I have Findley 2-0

I guess Pauli tends to grow on you as an announcer. :rolleyes:

I do like him better then Gus Johnson.

Findley is cut and really seems bothered. Love coming on big owning 4th.

Mars...Ms. Round 3 was skeeery!

Love coming alive in the 4th, putting a whippin' on Findley who survives the round, nice little scrap.

Findley showing some cojones coming back in the 5th, gets my respect.

This is actually a good fight. Price was hilarious earlier. Corona girls are C level tonight.

Big comeback round for Findley! Nice contrast of styles...I have 3-2 in rounds Findley :-X but he is fighting the ref and Love at once

Love has been hitting him low since the 1st!

Floyd is going to tear Guerrero a new asshole May 4th, but it should be a good fight.

Findley hasn't got a prayer of winning a decision against Love here in Detroit.

Love doing a one and done feet of flight in 7th. Derrick Gainer is loving it. 5-2 here and I'm sober ;D

@Spicoli, so Price got stopped by Thompson? I missed the fight, what happened?

Missed it too bud, and had probs with download link. Wealth Tv-website is doing a replay at 10 pm from what I understand.

Sounds like Price chin has some questions. Fool hardy or fierce...I have some respect for a prospect stepping up to that level this early. Better than feasting on cans and warm bodies to pad a record I think.

Love should have been digging the body from the 1st, Findley hates it. Judges will have Love up about 98-92 prolly...96-94 Findley winner here

No quit in Finley, but too little too late. Officially a UD for Love, no surprise, not a bad opener.

Onward to the main event, i'm thinking K9 is going to smoke Ishe Smith in a couple rounds, this will be Bundrage's coming out party.

100-90...thats just fuckin crap'olla. Don't see much in future for Love personally, as long as he fights in Detroit he should be ok though :p

Just looked at the results on ESPN Boxing, 2nd round KO for Thompson, that has to be a disappointment for Brit fans.

http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id...a-one-punch-ko

Guerrero will get a nice payday against Floyd, and even if he loses, which is likely, it won't hurt his career.

My God..that was one of the most professional and complete interviews I've ever seen Floyd do ???

Was he teary eyed at the end? Not being funny

Brian Kenny is excellent in the Studio, Showtime is fortunate to have him.

I'm sure Brian sucking him hard made him feel better
