Comments Thread For: Joe Smith: I've Been Fighting At 175 Since I Was 16 Years Old; It's Time To Move Up

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The upcoming showdown versus Gilberto 'Zurdo' Ramirez is a perfect storm for Joe Smith Jr. A move up to cruiserweight was all but inevitable for the former WBO light heavyweight titlist, who stuck around at 175 to at least exhaust every attainable option. With a title win plus losses to the division's two clearcut top fighters--lineal, WBC, IBF and WBO champ Artur Beterbiev and WBA titlist Dmitry Bivol--a move up the scale is the logical next move.

Zurdo is going to drown Joe Smith. Zurdo's chin is real and he is high activity.

I know it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, but Smith did wobble Bivol. Zurdo barely landed all fight.

I'm rooting for Smith. Will be interesting to see if his power carries up, or if Zurdo will tower over him all night.

Any time Joe is on the card, I'm rooting for him.
Not the most clever boxer, but he definitely has power, and never gives up.

Your right. I was at that fight in Verona N.Y rooting Joe on. Although he was dominated he did have his moments. This fight should be a good scrap!

Joe is just such an easy guy to root for because he always comes to fight.
