[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Jake Donovan - In a year where boxing often disappointed - and at times outright betrayed - its audience, the emergence of Joe Smith Jr, was a breath of fresh air. There is no guarantee that he goes on to become a world champion or even a serious threat at the title level, but he did the opposite of most of his peers in taking full advantage of the opportunities provided to him.

He ko'd Fonfara and Hopkins, both times he was an underdog. So it kind of is a big deal

Hoo necks?!

Fonfara was no stiff; he gave Adonis Stevenson everything he could ask for. Smith may be limited, but he has power and with a few fights, he could make things interesting.

You don't hurt Fonfara and get away with it ! He will seek revenge, and you will find yourself on the seat of your trunks in return. Ending Fonfara in one round was huge!

I love it. This kid is a great story.

Just a big, strong, working class guy trying to come up in the boxing world. Like it used to be in America in the old days.

I think he has done enough to earn himself a title shot. Fonfara and Hopkins are two highly ranked scalps to have on your belt.

Seeing Hopking on the floor... out of the ring... PRICELESS! Thank you Joe!.. for making life a humbling experience...even for B-Out.
