From the G.L corner: What is your take on Ishe Smith?

[Queen_Leia]

And how he is as a fighter, what he's accomplished and what his future holds in boxing....is he world champ material?

He is a solid main event boxer, but not quite good enough to win at the top level. I expect him to win on Showbox Friday though.

Ishe is more worried about how not to fight once in the ring and therefore lets his talents go to waste.

he's good, the one thing that he desperately needs to do is have more offense. he's a slick fighter, has decent speed, decent handspeed, solid defense, and good ring generalship.

what he needs is to open up more and be more offensive minded, he doesn't dictate the pace of a fight and certainly doesn't lead. he tries to counter too much and tries to make everyshot be perfect and clean landing, and all the while he's waiting for that, he's getting out worked. whiles he's waiting for the perfect shot and making his opponent miss, he's losing mainly due to his opponents activity level, at least that is what i picked up on watch him fight.

if he would link up with a trainer that made him more offensive minded, he could be very dangerous for a lot of top fighters in and aroudn his division.....................

he's too young in his career to be fighting and having the same punch output as bernard hopkins, which he tends to remind me of, just without being nearly as effective as hopkins.

How does that win last night help his career?
