Comments Thread For: Sadam Ali vs. Liam Smith Deal Getting Close, Says Frank Warren

[slimPickings]

Standards have gone down if Ali-Smith is supposed to be a good matchup on a major ppv undercard.

Smith is a domestic level fighter, very ordinary.

That is who you defend against especially in your first defense.

Pick up that pay check and then start rolling the dice against the titans of the division.

Too bad Ali is too small for the division and i expect his reign to be short lived.

I called this fight the day after he beat Cotto lol man I wish I could find that thread. Anyway this is the safest fight with a named opponent that Ali could face. I don't see him unifying anytime soon he's probably gonna babysit this belt for a year. I bet anything if he wins Ali will fight Kell Brook next.

You my friend are on to something here!!

Hopefully for Ali's sake his management team is thinking the same thing.

Why don't you just pretend Cotto won.. just like you pretend Canelo beat GGG...

I watch Canelo-GGG twice and scored it a draw both times.

Close fight. People need to stop crying robbery.

nuthin to complain anout here

Smith had an interview on IFL where he said it's going to happen, but they were offered peanuts to fight on the Canelo/GGG undercard because "the fight sells itself" was apparently what they were told. Which will suck if we get a crappy undercard again for that fight

I still haven't watched the Cotto/Ali fight, but I was at the Vargas/Ali fight and if 147 Vargas could walk down Ali all night and KO, I have to imagine a big 154lber like Smith can do it. Give me Beefy by KO

That makes no sense. Were they going to get PPV money?

No clue, but he said they turned it down and are looking for another date for it. Definitely sounded like the fight would be in the US regardless
