This might go against the grain but I dont think Paul Smith was - TopicsExpress



          

This might go against the grain but I dont think Paul Smith was robbed. He put up an incredibly gutsy performance but I do think Abraham nicked it by a round or two. Smith was definitely the victim of an injustice on the scorecards with two judges making him a loser by half a dozen rounds and the third deeming him to win just a single round. I was there in Cologne when Matthew Macklin was robbed against Felix Sturm - and really robbed; even German television made him a four round winner - but this doesnt compare with that. One of the problems, perhaps even the major problems, is that television viewers can be unduly influenced by biased commentary - and, lets face it, that is all we EVER get from Sky. I like Jim Watt on a personal level - I know him since the Barry McGuigan days - but neutral is a foreign country to him.
