    On a separate note those tattoos are horrible.

    There's the Dublin bill on Boxnation right now if you want to switch over.

    Nice... Much cleaner.

    This is awful to watch.

    Can the promoter not reduce this mess to a 6 rounder?

    He has been in the best condition for every one of his World Title defences yet he was gassed in two of those. I don't see the evidence of Ricky been a gym rat. Surely a gym rat would at least look ripped and fight well?

    Looking like a gym rat and being a gym rat can differ. Body physique and makeup can be deceiving.

    He never looks like he has plenty in the tank, fitness wise. Maybe someone should question all this time in the gym.

    Which two were they?

    Michael Conlan is the guest analyst on Boxnation and is very impressive.
    Easy fluidity to his speech and very knowledgable.
    Nice to see the acknowledgment.

    Would like to see Rocky pull off the upset.

    I think Rocky may win the first 2 or 3 rounds before Smith gets into it. I expect Smith then to just be that little better and precise, with his bodypunching to make a big difference in the later rounds.


    Probably be KO1 now!!

    All over.

    Hagler-Hearns.

    That was impressive

    Jesus that was hugely impressive.

    That's the difference between a genuinely world class prospect and a good domestic fighter.

    Smith looked much more physically imposing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,514 ✭✭✭but1er


    That was impressive


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,487 ✭✭✭megadodge


    The second knockdown was pure class - single counter left hook as Rocky was piling in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,625 ✭✭✭✭Johner


    Disgraceful from your man Doran there, weighing in half a stone over? Joke.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 189 ✭✭Kaiser84


    Fielding was just in with a much better man, although I think the occasion got to him too. He looked very nervous.

    Callum is the star of all the Smith brothers. He looks special.
