this is the level of opponent that ward should be knocking-out and giving hbo something to put on his highlight reels

But then he would have to be fighting on HBO and not BET.

The safest bet is Ward winning a decision. Unless he gets a headbutt stoppage like he did vs Andy Kolle.

Lol @ that guy who voted for Smith. I don't like to offend people because their opinion but that's just hilarious.

Of course Ward wins over this cherry picked softie. Boxrec ranks him 31st in the world and 5th in the UK. He has lost 5 of 35 fights and been KOed twice. He lost his last 2 fights to Abraham by a wide margin on points. Ward has some neve to trash GGG's opposition when he is fighting a guy this bad. All of GGG's opponents are rated in the top 25 and many are rated in the top 10. What is beating a no hoper like Smith supposed to prove?
