Ishe Smith calls Canadian super prospect David Lemieux "overrated"

[The Hammer]

Purnell Gates was a shame for boxing tonight. He literary runned in the first round, and by running, i'm not exaggerating and the he took 2 knees....

Worst fight I've ever seen.

Can't wait for better competition. It was by far the worst guy he faced in his career, the dude had no balls whatsoever.

I rather getting KTFO on a highlight reel KO then running in the run, and taking 2 knees back to back

Purnell Gates put on one of the most cowardly performances I've ever seen.

He was just there for the payday, but he was such a disgrace they should withhold his purse. After all, he signed a contract to fight, but he didn't really fight.

I agree with that,

I said that in a previous post.

But, they should withhold his purse. It was disgraceful. This I agree with.

Get a real life, loser. Then perhaps I won't be so important to you.

Ishe Smith hasn't looked impressive to me since the Powell loss, and I'm not sure Lemieux is the man he wants to go after right now. 2 losses in his last 3 fights is not a good look.

I thought this two had a signed contract to fight each other or am i dreaming.

Lemieux's promoter tried to get Smith about a month ago.

Ishe's turned down a number of fights in the past, for example with Golovkin last year.

Nah...

I know Lemieux was signed to fight Marco Antonio Rubio. He pulled out and they reached out to Ishe Smith. But, was only 2 or 3 weeks notice. And, he said he wanted more time....They didn't want to postpone the date so Smith turned it down said he couldn't take that fight in 2 or 3 week notice.

Golovkin has nothing to do with Lemieux.

And, it was not a month ago Tunney. At the most 3 weeks ago. But, even a month which is 4 weeks probably wasn't enough time for Ishe to get ready. Lemieux had this date for longer than 4 weeks. Ishe didn't think he would have been in his best. Nothing wrong with that at all. That is not a cowardly act.

He made Jacobs look like eh...Ishe is not a top fighter IMO... He is a spoiler IMO. He can pull up the upset every blue moon. But, he is the type that can make you look not so good.

However, I think that fight would be a great step up for Smith. I think Lemieux needs to start earning some rounds under his belt all this. He has gone 10 rounds just once. But, Ishe would be a different test IMO and is durable it won't be an easy KO.
