Lew came through his debut tonight with a convincing points victory,
Started nervously which was to be expected but once he let his shots off and landed some hurtful body shots the confidence grew and he really relaxed into his game plan
Would be a great thing If in the new year when he fights next we could run a coach load of us to the venue and really get behind him early in his career
The Charlton badge was worn with pride on his fight kit and he had a healthy following but boxers need to be ticket sellers it makes them a real commodity for promoters and Lew will be involved in some exciting fights his style is such that it will always be aggressive and front foot imposing his style on the fights
It’s never dear at this level and you can get some cracking value nights
Congrats Lewis the journey has begun let’s follow and help him reach his dream of fighting for a belt in a ring smack in the middle of the pitch at the Valley
It would certainly tick one of my bucket lists of sporting venues to watch a fight

Not just from you I've heard some good things about Lew Smith not seen any footage or anything of him though
Lew Definitely has something about him mate it’s going to be down to him how far he can go , I really like how he talks about where he wants to get too
Good team around him also has more than a chance of having a very decent career
there’s two more fight weekends before xmas and I reckon his opponent will be out grafting both weekends , a decent black eye or a cut and that’s out of the question,
Showed great professionalism from Lew respecting that part of the game when he could’ve easily just come out and blown him away
Which could mean missing out on 2/3 more pay days.
Understandable that they come to survive rather than come to fight.
But for any boxer in their first few fights it can be more about the day and getting used to the lights, cameras, weigh ins etc. More than the actual fight.
No doubt have much tougher spars than what they face in the first few outings. But level of opponent is a long way down the list imo
Has he got any London shows coming up?
We need to help him on this journey there’s enough of us who love the boxing to help him in this way and have some good nights out along the way
Win win
I'll do my best to be at your next fight and will bring my boys with me.
