So it took 13 tries before Joe DeGuardia found a boxer daft enough to take the fight.
Geffrard's lower-level resume and lack of activity recently suggests he's gonna get a shellacking off Smith - I just hope he isn't badly hurt.
With covid being around for so long now, and the omicron variant running riot in the UK & US, maybe the promoters should have predicted a covid withdrawal was fairly likely.
They could have covered any withdrawal in the main fight by putting another top level 175lb fight on the undercard - allowing one of the boxers to step up into the world title fight if necessary.
Yea that is true Ozz but that would have been a bit forward thinking for these guys and they dont do business that way. I like watching Smith Jr. fight, I have always enjoyed the LH class but they never get it going to even generate any interest past one fight. This is a perfect example of that and those in that division. The NFL is as full of it as Boxing is. but they feed it to the people in a way that makes them miss the truth Boxing just sticks it the fans and says ............. "As long as we are getting paid what's the problem"
Does Joe get some work in or blast him out in the 2nd? woeful mismatch
