BERNARD HOPKINS TRAINING ISHE SMITH!
www.boxingtalk.net

Press Release: To get ready for his upcoming fight in Tucson, Arizona on August 25, 2006, Ishe "Sugar Shay" Smith has set up camp in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Smith, who fought as high as middleweight on the reality show The Contender, wants to make his presence known in the welterweight division again. He is not only excited to return to the ring, but also to his previous weight division and he thinks that the City of Brotherly Love is just the place, to get the right sparring, from other hungry and experienced fighters. He is also very excited to be under the tutelage, and watchful eye, of legendary fighter, and promoter Bernard Hopkins. Smith recently said, "I fell in love with Philadelphia when we set up camp with Bernard there, a week for my last fight, and honestly, the history of the city speaks for itself! I truly have the best promoters in the boxing game today, Golden Boy Promotions [of which Hopkins is a partner], who have not only showed interest in my career, but the way they handle their business has shown me that they care about my needs outside the ring. I truly believe that we are a great match, and I couldn't be happier. On August 25th, I guarantee I will be either knocking someone out or I will punish them. Smith's opponent has not yet been chosen.

Ennis is training Demetrius, Bernard is only giving him pointers & managing him...he aint training Demetrius...he needs to pour all his traits into Demetrius instead of Ishe.

Training Ishe does prove one thing...he is indeed bored.

What about Nassim Richardson? he should train Demetrius and where is Willie Gibbs!!!

Yeah he is one whiney fucker for sure.

It's frustrating as I felt he was the best fighter on the Contender by a mile, and has a real serious chance at becoming a world champion.

I like his style too, so it's just more of a shame that he's such a knobhead at times.
