Comments Thread For: Paul Smith 'Gutted' Over WBO Ruling on Direct Rematch

[Roy Jones Jnr]

I'd say it to his face, somewhat more polite but the fact remains that he never did anything to earn a shot. I addressed him specifically 'cause I'm sure he reads these forums and if he sees my comment, he could let me know why he deserved a shot in the first place. He doesn't need to tell me why, who am I but just another face in the crowd.

Abraham is a very poor world champion thus why someone like Paul Smith was selected for a title defence.

I don't think I'm a big man and Paul Smith has achieved more than I ever will in the sport of boxing. He's not a bum, he's just not deserving of a shot at a world title. I'm bored of seeing the several articles with Smith ****ing on about a rematch, the scoring etc.

That's fair enough, although you must be able to understand how gut wrenching it must have been to fight the fight of your life then have to listen to 119-109 or whatever the **** that ridiculous card was.

To be fair to Smith, he was more gracious than i would ever be. If that was me i'd lose my fcking head and still be ****ing on about it today. Smith was very classy in defeat in the post fight interview and i think has earned the right to **** on about a rematch, in my opinion anyway.

I bet his heart fell through his arse when he heard 109-119, probably made him feel like the deck was always stacked against him. But he did lose clearly, so I see no need for a rematch and Abraham's management sure as hell ain't going to give him another chance.

Look at who he's fought since Groves, I think that's more of an insult to him than my comment. He's good enough to be mixing it with good European level opposition and British prospects at 168.

I'd like to see him fighting the likes of Rocky Fielding, Mark Heffron, Frank Buglioni etc.

If Sauerland fighters are involved the opponent can't win on points in Germany
