This makes Andre ward look even better

I knew Barrera was good and Ward was just that much better!!! Barrera IMO is a top 5 LHW.

[slimPickings]

...and this is the Joe Smith that "experts" would have you believe Stevenson was ducking!!!

Now if Ward had never fought and taken Barrera to school those same "experts" would be saying Ward is ducking Barrera!!!

Ward is a BAD man!!

Racist boxing scumbags called ward a cherrypicker for fighting barrera! Now watch those same scumbags jump on this guys nuts....

You seem way too angry. People are racist for criticizing Ward?

Barrera out skilled and out classed Joe Smith

I know Marcus Browne went from joy to pain! I know he was hoping he and Joe Smith Jr. was going be a big payday in NY! Kovalev would be a better payday in NY! Kovalev vs. Browne! Make it happen!

Marcus Browne won today and wants a shot at Stevenson, Barrera won and is now WBC Silver champion.

Browne vs Barrera, as the eliminator for next mandatory challenger, makes the most sense.

Browne obviously missed out on some money, but putting that fight as the co-feature for the next big card to come to NYC (at Barclays or Nassau) doesn't leave Browne with missing out on too much money.

Daniel Jacobs, Danny Garcia (though likely wanting another fight in Philly), and Deontay Wilder (with taking his next fight to Alabama being possible) are all due for fights that could end up in NYC.

now those same scumbags will be jumping on barreras nuts

You know, if you'd never use anything related to nuts again in your comments, you may actually force yourself to use your brain for once. May even build a little rep power who knows. Stop being a DA and wake up. Or keep acting like a DA little spoiled brat. Your choice.

Guess I'm not surprised. Don't know if Smith just has no talent, or he just has the wrong trainer. Time for he and his manager to make some hard choices. Wouldn't mind seeing him go further along in the sport.

Barrera is just a level above him.

Joe Smith Jr vs Sean Monaghan, Nassau Coliseum, Independence day 2018

Neither guy took a hellacious beating, so there's no real need for an extra long layoff for either guy.

The key would be to get each guy two fights before April 2018 (Thomas Williams, Chad Dawson, Fonfara, Edwin Rodriguez, etc, guys in that second tier, should be looked at as options).

Hope that the ability of each guy is good enough for the secondary level, and then build things up in NY-area for Smith-Monaghan (with the winner basically in position to draw interest from one of the champions, if the belts haven't been unified at this point, for a voluntary defense).
