Comments Thread For: Al Bernstein Rips Stephen A. Smith For Mocking Horn's Wins, Foes

[aboutfkntime]

Smith did a great job. He's right. Bailey won an alpha title against a nobody with lucky punch in a fight he was losing, past his prime against Horn = nobody. Funeka um not really that good. 2017 version of Castillo=a nobody IF he was a spoon fed opponent too. Steven A is accurate not a stellar list of opponents.

it's starting to look a little bit better now

Who dafuq cares, boxing is dead and B's trying to down play
Stephen's thoughts. Arum and his judges messed up another good fight, oh well, nothing's new really here.

I didn't see it as i watched the fight on Boxnation, but i remember cringing at some of the stuff he said during the Pacquiao/Vargas fight.

He kept trying to correct Tim Bradley if i remember correctly.

hes the most popular and important espn employee lol are you kidding

I understand he's popular and important alright, just so long he doesn't offend certain gender and ethnic groups they like. In the past, he's gotten away with dropping several N-words on the show but as soon as he says something controversial that white folk like Michelle Beadle don't like; They immediately strip him buck naked before all the world to see by forcing him into apologizing and treating him like what Floyd Mayweather, Jr, say they treat him like.

Stephen A Smith just trying what Mayweather does try to talk his way to the boxing HOF. Smith is an idiot for sure waste of energy listening to him.

[lowblows420]

Stephen A Smith always been a bowtie wearing Cosmo drinking idiot. Hilarious ESPN hires this moron to analyze anything.

[Ake-Dawg]

Yeah while I think it is great having Stephen A covering boxing because it brings more attention to the sport yeah that condescending stuff don't work as well in the sport a boxing. A sport where guys are putting their life and physical well being on the line every time they go out and fight

But Ali Funeka and Randell Bailey are FAR from "NO NAMES" to Hardcores but they're guys on the downside hanging around for checks

Smith's comments were clownish but Funeka was never a "world champion" as the author sez and he was 38 and at least six years beyond when he was a legit contender at lightweight when Horn fought him, while Bailey was 41 and four years removed from beating anyone with a pulse when Horn fought him. Neither are household names (Bailey much close than Funeka)and both were well past it when Horn fought them

So you agree that those guys were nobodies when horn fought them but dislike the fact that Smith actually called them nobodies.

[NC Uppercut]

hes right.. smith is an amateur.. which is why casuals love him

Very true. Casuals connect with him bc of ESPN, first take, etc

[hectari]

ESPN should just fire him and take him off the air because he's too loud, smug and very annoying at times. Loud doesn't always mean you're right.

Are you kidding? Stephen A Smith is their star, him and Skip were the stars of that network, remove Smith that network will be chit.

Say what you want about Smith but dude gets you talking, do you want everyone to be boring like Max Kellerman? Stephen A Smith was a fool for how he dissed Randall Bailey and Funeka legit guys who were over the hill, but the dude is perfect for ESPN boxing instudio, he has that Casual fan perspective

Make up your minds: SAS (a well known Floyd nuthugger ) giving props to Manny.
