This is the one and only Ishe Smith. I want to thank you people for all the post you have made about me and my family. (even the bad ones). As you all know VegasFightWriter is a good friend of
mine; this guy gets all his information from boxing circles. He surprises me sometimes, I deny everything he ask me, even though we're friends I wouldn't give him any information. LOL
This has been a long road for me and my beautiful wife, why was I portrayed so bad or made the villian on TV, hmmmmmm I don't know. I was just so happy to be apart of something so great for the sport of boxing; and I still am. Well it is early Sunday morning and as you all can see I am still up, at the current moment me and Brent are tied for 6 place, people was I that bad on the show? I would of never guess I would be in 6th place right now, wow! Do I feel like a victim, hmmmmmm at times I do.
Why did yahoo take personal shots at me during the whole series, once again I don't know. Why didn't they tell the fans that me and Sergio's fight was a spilt decision, once again I can't answer that neither. Whoever runs the yahoo site, just doesn't like me, and that is evident. They titled my exit interview Ishe Loses but still complaining, or sore loser, I can't remember. You guys watch the video and decide for yourselves.(they change it only after I ask them to) Do I think I will be fighting on May 24th, hmmmmmmm probably not. I really just want my life and career back, I had a lot of fun doing the show and I will cherish every moment I had with them. I've just been praying a lot an letting God's Will work it's way, and you all know my wife is always behind me 100%, she truly is my other half, my backbone, no matter how they made me look, they could never edit my love for that woman. Her and my son is all I have in this world; phil 1:21 describes how I feel at this time. I gave up a lot to be on this show, and I feel good about it. What I really want you people to know is that I'm not a bad guy, nor am I here to lobby for votes, I refuse to do that. I wanted the voting to take it's course, just like American Idol, I guess some people didn't do it like that. Kieran they're aren't many people I call friend in this world, but through thick and thin you have behind me 110%, and I respect you so much for that, and I truly do cherish our friendship. If I don't fight, it's still going to be a great show, I encourage all of you to still watch. I was talking to Tarick last week and he said I'm in a win, win situation, and I said how, he then said, either I will be training on Sat May 21st, (thats when we all get to Vegas) or I will be laying out by the pool. I feel just like that right now, so don't feel bad for me. I feel like I'm in the Matrix and just maybe, maybe, I took the wrong pill. (Big Matrix Fan, I dont think Neo died at the end, if we have any Matrix geeks like me in here, e-mail me and we can dicuss the show and Neo's death, LOL) Whoever promotes me and whenever I fight again I will definitely let you people know. Who knows, maybe I will fight Shane Mosley or Winky Wright soon. Some of you have been a inspiration to me during this tough time. Thank You, from the bottom of my heart. God Bless

If you ever need a relaxing CD to listen to go pick up Jack Johnson's, In Between Dreams. Great CD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (it's one of my favorites right now)

PS: Check out sugarshay.com, and watch the video of me droping my sparring partner last week with a uppercut. Maybe my fellow comrades got a little worried when they heard that me an Joe Goosen are working together, we are doing some great things together, and I know I am going to be a much better fighter now. The video is a pop-up, so make sure you have pop-blocker disable when you go to my website. THANKS

Now you know I couldn't leave here without talking a little bit of trash, now that wouldn't be Ishe Smith. LOL
