Paul Smith was out-landed by 61 shots in his fight with Arthur Abraham: 192-253. He was out-landed in 10 of 12 rounds – the other 2 were even. But don’t let that stop the sheep from believing whatever Jim Watt told them to think! Speaking of SkySports blind, deaf & dumb brigade: Johnny Nelson‘s 117-116 Smith card was a testament to – simultaneously – bias & indecision simultaneously.

Watching Nathan Cleverly & Martin Murray playing a conservative game of Career Russian Roulette with a hedged bet “draw for me” card each was similarly squirm-worthy considering the magnetic nature with which fully 49.5% of Abraham’s punches connected with a scoring area of Smith’s anatomy. Herein lays the problem of one promoter, effectively, running non-terrestrial TV boxing in the UK – no one, with a modicum of fear for their station in the public relations, sorry, *journalism, landscape would dare speak a an inconvenient truth contrary to the interests of that one promoter.
