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

[IamInuit]

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

[CFH]

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

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.

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

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

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 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.
