Showtime RBR & Discussion Thread

Way to go Ishe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was not as boring a fight as some make it out to be. It got started slow, but had some very good moments, alot of ebb and flow. I had it 115/112 Smith.

I give alot of credit to Showtime for going on with the show and not scraping the card because of Alexander/Brook.

Thank you to both fighters for giving it their all.

"the crying man" ishe smith.


ibf (i think / don't care) champion of the world.

you gotta appreciate ishe smith getting a paper title, though. this means a lot for him and his family.

i can understand why he didnt go for Canelo, Trout's belts....
he seems mentally unstable though..first suicide thoughts and then crying like a kid..doesnt look good...one wonder what will happen if he loses his belt in his first defense..suicide watch needed...

I don't believe that would be as boring as you think. Molina would outclass and stop Ishe. Even with his lack of power I still predict the KO.

Molina won't stop him but he will win convincingly.

agreed, cheif. the way they were winging shots later in the fight meant that it could have turned quickly. it wasn't an awful fight.


it's great to see ishe smith get some security in his life, too. this ensures at least one or two more sizable paydays. the guy was hardly fighting for a good while.

The man just won a world title against all odds. Have a lil bit of class dude.

I'd give major props to Molina if he got the stoppage, but it's clear that both guys just don't have that kinda pop.

Nah man, he fought harder punchers like Jacobs and Julio and wasn't even knocked down. Molina is not going to KO Smith.

Yeah Molina couldn't even KO Spinks.


I think Molina wins a clear, ugly fight. But Molina winning a title will make the division real interesting. Lots of options.

Completely agree NE mah homie. Both men were doing their best to win. Ishe was tentative, but with K9 one punch can change up the fight so I understand why he was. But he did throw caution to the wind and put it on the line, punching himself out twice in his efforts. This was a great night for Boxing, both fighters were gracious in victory and defeat.
