Comments Thread For: Smith Explains Why He Passed on Dirrell Title Bout To Join WBSS

[Shadoww702]

andre is a damn actor also! He started that fake drama in another fight as well! These guys are always finding excuses to get out of tough fights! I hope benavidez gets a ko over this diva! Benavidez is ready to become the next big mexican/pbc star! Benavidez favorite fighter is prince naseem so im sure he will put on a show!

He flopped like a fish!!! Made Robert De Niro PROUD. He got up, then down, up, then down, up, finally down...

That's pu$$y talk.

David Benavidez is not going to have a problem with going into Flint or wherever and kicking Dirrell's ass from pillar to post.

I only wish that the winner of that fight was in the tournament too.

David Benavidez is not a foreigner and is with Haymon. If you were a foreign fighters manager or promoter wouldn't the shameless robbery of Golub or the ridiculous scorecards for Easter make you think twice? The Uzcategui DQ and subsequent assault wouldn't make you think perhaps it's not such a great idea? **** it ain't like home cooking is anything new, but I don't recall so many egregious examples in so short a space of time before.

Honestly it's almost like foreign fighters are being deliberately warned that they ain't wanted. IMO Smith made absolutely the right decision. On the last part though, we can totally agree - the tournament would absolutely be better with Haymons top SMW talent participating, not to mention Zurdo, of course. Damn shame that Uncle Al and Grandpa Bob seem to think they got more important business to attend to.

Wow! Super series for the win! i despise eubank but he is stepping up, kinda exposes promoters when a tournament is the only way to get the top dogs together

Foreigner or not Benavidez is simply going to take care of business with no fear, regardless of where the fight is held. Because he's just a badass like that.

Him and groves to clear best fighters in it and delighted eubank is in it cos see him get knocked out by either of them

Things never work out the way you think they might!!
Andre Ward was never the favorite to win the Super 6.

Groves is proven. Callum is not.

Well. I'm not gonna argue that - I'll be picking Benavidez to obliterate Anthony - and quite likely Mundo too, but that is a different point entirely. Why would Smith walk into the lion's den when he's seen that it's entirely possible that not even a KO will get him the win? The guy's got a lucrative, high profile opportunity in the WBSS and more importantly one in which he's not almost guaranteed to get stiffed on the slightest pretext.

i was hoping a guy like andrew tabiti would join the cruiser weight but even he missed out! maybe if this thing go well the first season al and bob will let some of their fighters enter the next season!

Because this is the fight game and ballsy moves get more respect. Just like how Errol Spence walked into the lions den and handled Kell Brook and now he's almost universally respected.

That's why you would do something like that.

Your right he could get the KO and If Its close to the bell DQ'd. Or the ref. Let's Anthony do whatever he wants. I think home cooking has been a lil too strong lately for my taste.

Ummm. Well yeah. Or you could be swept into the dustbin like Golub or Relikh. Callum doesn't have a high enough profile to be afforded any kind of protection and these recent robberies are above and beyond, man. Smith has a good chance to earn universal respect with the WBSS without a high likelihood of getting a win stolen out from under him. Massive credit to Spence for coming to the UK though.
