Ishe Smith got SCREWED.

[Hulk]

Smith won that fight, hands down against Fernando Guerrero.

Ishe fought a great fight, and a very brave one, walking forward behind a good solid defense and throwing body shots despite the point deduction (which by that point I felt was deserved cus some of em were definately low).

I hate to see veterans get screwed over in favor of giving the decision to the young prospect who clearly lost, but unfortunately thats how boxing has always been and looks like it will always be.

Ishe won that fight !

Huh?

Smith clearly lost the fight IMO and I haven't seen anyone else claim otherwise.

Are you being serious?

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Haha. I read the title and thought... Ishe seems like the type of guy to get screwed. Im sure it's happened to him a couple times before.... Although I could be WAY off the mark

Still... I never actually thought it was a point of contention either for it being a fact, OR fiction

Ishe Smith? the middleweight that Floyd allegedly "walked down" in sparring? LOL... maybe he should try not to leave it to the judges and knock the guy out next time?

I have to disagree. It was a good close fight that either guy sorta could've lost. I put it like this if ishe would have won i would have said fernado should have done more, just like in this case i think ishe could have done more. Just like these super six fights. You gotta realize going in that the hometown guy is going to have the advantage, complain all you want you know that going in and the record books don't care either way.

If Ishe didn't take all those early rounds off he would have gotten the nod. I didn't hear the judges scorecards, but if you posted them with this, there might be a compelling argument. (who knows if good 'ol Gay Van Hoye is in the mix)

What bothers me about fights like this, is when the young prospect looks worse from wear adn the old man is coming on strong as the fight progresses. I felt the rounds Ishe won were more decisively his. This is not a bad decision, though. This should be a textbook type of fight judges should have to see before being thrown into bigger fights. Not too hard to score unless you aren't paying attention to what round it is.

They should justgo at it again in a couple weeks like the old timers used to!

I don't think he got screwed.Just wasn't his night.Now in hindsight he screwed himself vs Jacobs,more throwing less waiting and Isheisms.
