Who would Smith fight for the vacant EBU?

....maybe Sandor Martin? Maybe that could also function as a WBC eliminator.

Genuinely, why do you think that?

I just see a guy doing his job.

Promoters always get hate because they work for fighters, not the fans. It's not in the fighters best interests to be taking unnecessary risks on the way up the ladder. So the fans don't always get the fights they want. They somewhat deserve it too for how much marketability is hurt by a loss due to lost support from fair-weather fans.

If fights not being made soon enough is what makes you dislike him then I'd say you're blaming the wrong person. Blame the folks at Sky Sports for not insisting on more competitive match making. But, it's not just a BOXXER thing, all promotions do it. They all want their fighters to reach the highest point their careers can reach and that is likely to mean not taking unnecessary risks at 11-0 for domestic level belts unfortunately. If purses and TV coverage reflected risk though this wouldn't be an issue. But that's not how it works sadly.

Because I'm a fan of the sport and want to see the best fights.

If fights are called for purses and the promoter pulls them out because they fear it won't be on their network, they deserve all the shit he gets.

He should've been a breath of fresh air, but he hasn't brushed his teeth in years.

Lol, thats brutal coming from you! Honestly always thought you were a moaning 12 Yr old.

I'm gonna go hang myself haha.

Shalom is a problem in this sport. The sooner he's gone the better. OBVIOUSLY theres others as well, but right now Shalom is the biggest problem and obstacle in British boxing at least.

It was only a few months ago Chris Eubank Snr stated that Harlem was finished @ light welterweight & now he's matching him with Azim at that very wight? This all seems a bit strange. So Adam ducks Dalton Smith because he's to young, but is quite happy to fight Harlem who's obviously going to be weight drained! "Dodgy Business or what "?!!....

That's quite a statement given the history of some operators in the sport. I'm not sure how old you are, but despite some rehabilitation of his public image, Frank Warren has conned a great number of fighters. It wasn't for nothing someone shot him.

They are both untested and it's obvious the word has come back from Shane that the European champion doesn't fancy his chances with the British champion.Dalton should move on and look at fighters who want to fight.There's attack of better fighters at light welter which is thriving.

Is Harlem Eubank any good?

He’s got decent skills, but he’s never looked massively impressive against generally subpar opposition. I think Azim will be a level above.

[Dakuwaqa]

Azim will comfortably deal with Harlem Eubank IMO. It’s a decent matchup but not one I’m clamouring to see.

Don King is still alive too.

I suspect that poster hasn’t been following boxing all that long.
