Joe Smith: I Want People To Talk About Me The Way Jesse Hart Talks About Hopkins

Joe Smith Jr. doesn’t completely buy into the revenge angle in play for this weekend’s light heavyweight clash with Jesse Hart, but can appreciate the passion which fuels the second-generation contender. Philadelphia’s Hart is the son of Eugene ‘Cyclone’ Hart, a 1970s middleweight and currently serves as his head trainer. However, it was another legendary Philly native who inspired his career—former two-division world champion Bernard Hopkins. Now a Hall of Fame inductee, Hopkins was sent out of the sport in the worst possible fashion, suffering a 9th round knockout at the heavy hands of Smith Jr. in their December 2016 clash.

Two interesting fights on paper ended up being a little more interesting in theory than in execution. At welterweight, Shawn Porter-Yordenis Ugas ended up being the sort of difficult to score contest many envisioned. For some, the final outcome may have been controversial. Porter retains the WBC belt. There was certainly some debate to be had about how the official judges scored the fight.
