The Contender : Series 3 - Smith v Banks Part 2

[oasis4ever92]

smith waits a little too long sometimes. i think thats what cost him against james degale. but now he's training with joe gallagher i think he'll do the business against george groves this weekend.

[charliewgooner]

over 12 rounds Smith would have murdered him

[stringisking]

Damn, Paul Smith can take a punch though...

[aleemiles]

The judge who gave Banks that fight should be fired. Smith would have killed Banks if he had listened to his trainer. The trainer should have given Smith a beating for not listening.

[aleemiles]

The right decision there, but the judge 49-46 for Banks - was he watching the same fight? Smith would have knocked Banks out if he had listened to the coach.

[lozkina]

feckin love it too bits, Paul Smith fighting with his heart is a lot more exciting caught him great at the end of the 4th classic

[IrelandRaven]

why was mcgirt telling banks to go forward when he was so badly hurt?

[boxingtvuk]

smith would of ko'd banks he if he went to the body and then upstairs but it was the right descision

[wilheim007]

smith looked stale and was fleshy in this. he really has great potential he just hasnt fulffiled it

[babahihibaba]

YAAEEH! I only wanted him to win because he had good spirit and respects people.

[lozkina]

another proud scouser,

[seanieboy1120]

All you pussies only know how to whine and critisize when that piece of shit didn't win. What yall? The judges? idiots.

[ackotack]

Yeah Banks would have won the fight if he could box

[diehardpatriotfan]

why does smith's girlfriend say the same thing?

Idk what the fuck she is even saying

[hughesa12]

@diehardpatriotfan lol shes saying 'go on smigger' smigger being his nickname.

[diehardpatriotfan]

@hughesa12

LOL @ Smigger.

[BlackPoisonxX]

Banks won this fight......

[daz19848120]

bollocks paul smith done the city of liverpool proud by beating the vain yank

what won it was smithy had more heart and passion than banks

great fight ,but the better fighter won

[ravingdave900]

if smith used the left hook in stead of straight right all the time he would of ko'd banks

[roostertko]

i hate smiths gf knock him out smigggerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr shut up girl hes trying

[ngchiwo]

Bank's gf is annoying...can't keep her mouth shut

[foodjunkie94]

Paul Smith (THE REAL GONE KID) is my favourite boxer i love his style of fighting

[wdchr]

Though I'm not a Banks fan, Banks won the fight

[karadli]

You are talking shit

[psogpsog]

nah not at all.

smith chased that bitch around the ring for the last 3 rounds.

1st round fairly close could of gone either

2nd round banks's

3rd,4th and 5th smith had him defonatly.

in my opinoin anywho.

[YakiKadafi90]

i hate d contender.. not only r d guys on it pretenders n not top caliber fighters, but d whole set up of d show sucks..

after a close fight like dis u dont know what to think, cuz they dont show d whole rounds.. its BS.. they should show d whole fight, not just clips

[briefc2543]

yeah i know, im going to watch smith this weekend at bham, im more interested in smiths fight than khans

[motokouk]

smith won the title fight this month! Great fighter, he got off to a slow start but finnished the guy good in 5th round, amazing! Smith got some real clean punches in this fight!

[IronsMike88]

how can people even say banks was in this! smith was all over him like a sack of shit, some of his punches were pure brutal and it's clear to see banks was rocked

[daystar17]

Banks out box paul all the way and ate his punches.

[avidlemon]

Stop talking complete bollocks dickhead. Smith had banks truly rocked several times in the fight. Banks threw a decent jab throughout, but not enough to bother a classy operator like smith. What has banks done since contender? Nothing. Smith won his last fight, and is fighting for a tittle in march this year.

[Chriskangley]

he won in boston against danny, and how come smith was bruised like a banna and banks had no scars. the only reason why paul is gettin a title shoot because he's a good old boy. i'm not no fan of banks but smith is just not good. believe dat. thank you

[khmer100]

i h8 banks

[daystar17]

he's a better boxer than clown paul

[muayadict]

very good fight, very close one too.

[IrishLuiz]

Aw paul... you should´ve smashed that bitchy bastard´s face

[moomintom]

England (L)

[kornangel420]

Banks is a balding chump lol dumb nigger

[muayadict]

i want to see u in the ring fighting against him, u fucking nazi bitch.

[daystar17]

you can't talk, God Bless you and i hope you change

[avidlemon]

Hey dickhead, smith won the english middleweight tittle! Hmm, banks ate his punches, what like the one he "ate" in the fourth, where he was hanging on for dear life. Face it, he is a bum.

[avidlemon]

why would i want to change when i am RIGHT! Banks is off the radar, and Smith is making his first defence of his title this weekend. I rest my case

[supaneso]

whats the name of the song they put at the end of all contenders fight?

[southpawx44x]

wats the name of that song?...it starts about 4:40 thx

[prospectboy]

I thought that Paul was going to dominate that fight. He let his emotions get in the way. I have alot more respect for Banks now. Both of them gave a goo fight.

[Adummy007]

brilliant fight

was routin for smith all da way through

dont like banks fort he was to cocky but he is a gud fighter

paul smtih gonna be a champ someday :D!!

[crazyfootyfan]

smith should have won by more points

[jablack9]

narr there both good fighter but it shows how much smithss emotions were in the match he threw to many punches and landed half...david banks is great he tought him self to fight he has made the distance in my books

[SkJumpMaN]

you gotta giv respect for both fighters... both fought a war and survived

[Manamebeshauno]

I like the series of Contender, and the fighters are skilled. However i recalled watching a runner up Pter manfredo Jr against welsh Joe Calzaghe, and got absolutley slaughtered. I think that there are much better fighters around the world thn these people. Anyway, great series and love following there storylines.

[ROBBO1978OVBLYTH]

Well i thought it was a canny good fight!

[kirbyblue22]

I think both of them are shit people go on how good smith is and he got his ass handed to him by a fag like banks. and it was a pretty shit fight

[avidlemon]

stop talking wank you complete shithouse. Smithy to win the rematch!

[heavymetalplease]

banks is a lil homo that looks in the mirrior all day no wonder he lost

[sniperlee1]

flashy yank against english grit ? i know what my money would be on !!! COME ON SMIFFY

[Pumpkinsboy]

Far too many right hand leads from Smith, he telegraphed every one. Very frustrating because Smith just needed to jab his way in. Wasn't Smith recorded as the hardest puncher of all 16 fighters in the initial tests?

[avidlemon]

he was indeed. He is still very raw, and i would say you are probably right he telegraphed too many rights. If he was able to refine his technique a bit, he would have destroyed banks.

Still think he is boss though!

If the rematch is broadcast in the states but not here in the uk, can anyone who see it, please put it on here. I want to see smith prove it wasn't a one off and destroy banks!

[Pumpkinsboy]

Not sure if it'll be televised. Shame it's not in the UK, I'd have travelled to see it myself...assuming it happens.

[Pumpkinsboy]

According to boxrec, it's the 6th November in Boston, but it's not confirmed.

[Pumpkinsboy]

Smith can bang, he just needed to listen to Pepe. He almost never went to the body, but when he did once or twice, you could see Banks wince and drop his hands. I think Banks was better than most here give him credit for. The re-match is scheduled for Boston in 3 weeks time.

[avidlemon]

ey i live in the uk, is there really going to be a rematch? If so where is it going to be?

Smith needs a bit more controlled agression. He was at least a class above the pretty boy Banks. A bit more focus from Smith, and he would have knocked that shit out!

[avidlemon]

What i meant to say, is where can i see it?

[sullnie]

Listen to your F*****G trainer Paul!!!!!!!!

[ThaSilverSurfer]

bank's confidence exceeded his ability, he is wobbled several times and intiates the clinch on all occasions, his trainer's game plan was to counter,spin and back out then changes mid way and tells him to fight aggressive and move forward...its one or the other. smiths only meaningful shot comes at about 4.10 and he is looking at the ground, the decision should have been unanimously smith's

[ThaSilverSurfer]

er bank's only meaningful shot comes at about 4.10....

[killedtime]

great fight just a shame he cant continue in the contender through the shit ko rule.but i dont think he couldve anyway from a badly cut nose which wouldnt have time to heal.

[liverpoolfcr96]

You live in the next street to smigger an u say well hard? dont believe u, where do u live in liverpool then?

[betterofalone123]

yer liverpool i moved there from wallasey

[betterofalone123]

i live in the next road from paul smith heys well hard he knoked some big guy out outside my house a few munths ago

[scousertom1]

betterofalone is deffo chattin shit. betterofalone lives in wales

[betterofalone123]

hahahaha wales i havent been there in my life if my err utube name ses wales its rong al make a video of his house to prove it ok

[eazyninja]

Put ur hands down Banks.

U just got yo ass kicked.

Banks is a lil Floyd Patterson, Muhammad Ali wannabe.

Nigga got served. Lolz.

Its a shame Smith aint there anymore. I woulda wanted to see him fight Jaiden

[liverpoolfcr96]

Sorry i meant to say he would of won this fight more convincingly..

:-)

[liverpoolfcr96]

I have trouble playing this video for some reason :-( every other vid works fine but this just doesnt load up properly iv only managed to see it once :-( oh well its on this sunday isnt it. smigger would of won this fight under normal conditions, he just had a mentality that he had to get the KO an it affected his whole fight even tho he deserved to win and finally shut that cocky prick up

[liverpoolfcr96]

He didnt say i wanna smash his lips, that makes as much sense as trying to lip read from a monkey. He said i wanna smash his ribs

[youssefdu69]

" i wanna smash his lips, i wanna open up, shut him up, get him home, KNOCK him out..."

now come on smith showboated then did nothin against banks who won that fight. smith is a lot better fighter than he showed on that show but a big mouth too

[spamusubi]

great fight, i thought banks won.and was there an after fight for this?

[leetate]

c that jab on 3.56

[leetate]

if sugar ray trains him that wud b great

[leetate]

i think its booloz though that he didnt go to the next round this contender format is shit the seaosn 1 season 2 format was bette

[leetate]

best fight this series by far

[wricey]

smith blatently won that he is a brilliant fighter

[liverpoolfcr96]

Smigger is quality but i was a bit dissapointed in him there. Hes good friends and training partner with Ricky Hatton and so he has devestating body shots i wish he'd of used them more then went for the KO late on, too eager for the KO thanks to the contender new stupid rules

[xxxhellxxx]

great fight!

[craig140185]

smith won his match but hes out ov the contnder which is stupid i think he was the best ther by far every1 was scared ov him he wil b bk and sugar ray wil b training him

[hughesa12]

"sugar ray wil b training him " is that true

[Bovain]

I feel Banks won the first 2 rounds and the last round...Smith had some powerful blows in the middle rounds...but I would have given the fight too Banks

[pnutbutrncrackers]

I felt Smith won by a small margin. Definitely landed more big blows. Did NOT listen to his coach, though, which was frustrating.

[1a1a2a3a]

I really like Smith... but I think Banks won this one... and kniteboss you're right Bika will win it all though.

[khalidfx15]

i had to rate Banks for this fight coz he had little experience but showed gud boxing

[hughesa12]

on another day smith would of KO'd him in 1. I was dissapointed with smith in that fight.

[shaneocean8]

thx for upload great fight smith represented well he shud have listened n gone to body more but banks wasnt listening to his corner at all

[kniteboss]

It was a battle from start to finish and Smith has no one to blame but himself.He was so guided by anger he wanted the KO which never happened.He should have thought technical and go for points.A win is a win though.Bika im sure will win it.

[London2ATL]

I thought Banks did enough to win, Smith was just looking for right hands and he missed widely.Thanks for uploading.

[einjil]

i thought Banks had the fourth round.

but Smith won the war.

coz he is more awesome !!

this was the bestest ever Contender fight ever !!!

[guardbreak]

Smith..
