Joe Smith Jr vs. Sullivan Barrera: who will you be rooting for?

[Hov]

I agree with these reasons. Guy beats Fonfara and Hopkins and still doesn't get a marquee fight for the championship.

Barrera actually had a chance and lost.

He got paid 450k against Ward and Smith only got 140k against B-Hop beat him and still has to fight Barrera.

Hopkins is 51 and had been out of the ring for two years man lol

I love a good Cinderella story, but I just ain't at all sold on Smith, not only that but the dude has a union job to fall back on whereas AFAIK Barrera has zip except boxing.

I think I'm rolling with Sullivan on this one, to root for and to win.

Hopkins is 51 and had been out of the ring for two years man lol

And Barrera got shine for beating a washed up Jeff Lacy who might as well been 51.

"Average" Joe Smith

Barrera won't go down easy and Smith Jr can't really box at all... So yeah... Barrera... That's just gonna put things right where they belong...

Its hard not to like Joe Smith.

Very true. He's overcome the odds before, let's see if he can do it again against a quality opponent in Barrera.

Since sullivan already lost pretty clearly to ward I think it would be interesting to see smith pick up the win and fight one of the top guys. Although I don't see him beating Kov or Ward regardless.
