Comments Thread For: Joe Smith: Barrera's Not The Same; Hart Should've Stopped Him

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK Joe Smith Jr. wasn't impressed by Jesse Hart's light heavyweight debut. Hart beat Sullivan Barrera by unanimous decision in their 10-rounder June 15 in Las Vegas, but Smith was surprised that version of Barrera took Hart the distance. Cuba's Barrera, 37, had been stopped by Dmitry Bivol two bouts before he fought Hart, thus Smith assumed Hart would've beaten Barrera by knockout or technical knockout, too.

Land that bomb and win me something, Joe. Hart can't take it on the chin too well, I suppose.

I feel that Barrera was still the same fighter just wasnt taking shots as well by the time hart got him . And Barreras chin wasnt a factor vs hart so I'd say pretty much the same dude who beats the joe Smith's of the world . Jesse hart is just a better fighter . All though iam rooting joe smith all day it's hard to compare a life long boxer skillwise to a crude power puncher who barely had an amateur career . Hart should win this fight but iam rooting for joe to get that knockout !!! I think hart should stay at 168 but I dont haven't issue with him stepping up there are some good fights to be made . That being said I wouldnt pick hart or smith to beat any of the belt holders.

Hope the construction worker gets a big KO here. Not sure of his situation but it seems like boxing is more of a once a year payday type deal now, i thought he would give up his day job and go full time and take boxing seriously when he knocked out Fonfara in that big upset win. Shame.

[MASTER OF you]

hart is not that good zurdo beat him down twice with ease! neither is joe smith! hart has a suspect chin though I can see joe cracking him and stopping him!
