By no means a world class fighter he made himself into a credible pro and had a lot more balls and professionalism about his game and the way he conducted his career than a whole roomful of guys that have made a bunch more money.

    That video was the first I've seen of either and was hilarious. I skipped ahead, but seriously how awful was Laing? At least in that fight. You could see Smith tapping the X button to power up his left hook for like ten seconds before he threw it.

    I was gutted when he knocked out Lang but he was a good fighter and made money. I hope he kept it and is living well.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
