When was the last time we cheered for a guy born with a silver spoon in his mouth? Joe is borderline, family owns the business, it's not like he's hard up. Joe gave Hopkins his pink slip, a fond farewell, that's to brag on.

A silver spoon lmao. His family owns a trailer, a chainsaw, and a rake. He works a 9 to 5 while maintaining a light heavy belt and fighting the best fighters of anyone in his division. I'm gonna cheer for the man who is fighting the best competition while having the best performances as well. I am curious who you gonna cheer for? The ghost of Bernard Hopkins?

Joe Smith vs one of the Paul brothers. It would be fun to see a common man beat down a superficial man.
