        A light breeze would have knocked Paul Smith over at that point.

        The stoppage was absolutely necessary.

          If the ref wasn't there to hold him up whilst he was protesting we would have seen Tyson-Berbick 2.

            smith looked like he was walking on a waterbed when he got up.

            right stoppage, imo.

                I changed my mind. I watched the replay of the first knockdown. The Ref got it right, he was on vacation, legs stumbling. I'll be interested to see what DeFail has to say about that.

                  Groves' jab looked excellent. If it weren't for the knockout, I think he'd have busted Smith up with his jab anyway.

                  Smith looked alright from the waist up but his legs were totally gone when the ref counted him.

                  Smith had planned to move down to middleweight before he got the Groves offer. If he stays in boxing, he has to move down. He's too short to make an impact at 168lb, in my opinion.
