Comments Thread For: Joe Smith's Promoter on LA Return, Possibility of Monaghan Bout

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Boxing can be - and is - a funny business. Case in point, July 15th. On this night at the Forum in Los Angeles, Joe Smith, who is a Long Island native, will be facing Sullivan Barrera as part of an HBO triple-header. Meanwhile at the Nassau Coliseum near Long Island, a PBC on Fox card will be taking place. Coming off his banner 2016, Joe DeGuardia - the head of Star Boxing - had talked openly about having Smith headline a show in his hometown.

this is what happens when you get too greedy....

"Certainly it would've been a great thing to do, to have a fight out in Long Island or even Madison Square Garden. I know what kind of gate we could do with Joe and I know what kind of business we can do with him and it would certainly be great to pull him back into New York"

this quote sorta confirms yvon michel's quotes about why the stevenson bout did not happen...a lineal champ is coming to your backyard and u're talkin about you drawing power in NY that you have never proved!

i hope barrera knocks him out and keeps his clown arse on a construction site..

If Joe Smith can get past Barrera he needs to get a title shot.

It's a shame they couldn't do the fight against Seanie Monaghan, that would have been a big ticket seller.

That's what happens when you have a Crappy Ass promoter

Joe Smith Jr makes right move

Actually smart move by DeGuardia for Joe Smith Jr. He puts his fighter back on HBO, possibly sets up a mega fight with Ward-Kovalev winner and comes up with a solution when Adonis ran and 'all LI' Seanie fight was not getting done.
