Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2017-11-18, good fight between Ishe Smith and Julian Williams: it gets three stars.Julian Williams entered this fight with a professional boxing record of 23-1-1 (15 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.9 super welterweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Erislandy Lara). He suffered his first loss last year against Jermall Charlo (=Charlo vs Williams) but he came back to win in 2017 with Joshua Conley (=Williams vs Conley).
His opponent, the former Ibf light-Mw champion Ishe Smith, has an official record of 29-8-0 (12 knockouts) but he is not ranked as he hasn’t fought since September 16, 2016 when he defeated Frank Galarza (=Smith vs Galarza); before this bout, in 2015, he had beat Tommy Rainone, but he had also lost to Vanes Martirosyan (via majority decision, Martirosyan vs Smith). Williams vs Smith is the main event of the evening. Watch the video and rate this fight!

I was fast forwarding this fight.
Williams is not top class. Smith should retire.
Nothing wrong with the fight.
some dodgy scorecards.
bad decision…
Bad, Bad decision, I’m a philly guy and I can tell you that Williams did not win that fight. But that’s the state of boxing today, give the win to the up and comer and push the crafty veteran right out of the sport. Sad business….
BENT decision!!!!!!!!! Another classic example of ‘cultivated’ scoring by the so called judges. It is time that the entire scoring and judging system as it now stands is overhauled to clean the game up. This would give both the boxers and the fans some honesty. Perhaps like league, rugby and cricket, boxing should introduce mandatory reruns of incidents and perhaps put four ‘ line men’ or accessory judges on each side of the ring, Most fight scores these days are questionable.
