Verdell Smith : ウィキペディア英語版 | Verdell Smith Verdell Smith, a.k.a. Tommy Bowles, a.k.a. Tim Brooks (born November 1, 1963 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) was a professional boxer in the light welterweight (140 lb) division. Smith, a journeyman fighter, appeared on the front page of the May 10, 2004, edition of ''The New York Times'', as he was the focal point of a lengthy article in the Times's sports section on alleged fight fixing. == Professional career == Smith turned professional in 1988 and fought the majority of his fights in Oklahoma and other Midwest states, under his birth name and other boxing aliases. In the article, Smith explained that fighting under assumed names "is what we needed to do, (order ) to get paid", and was also quoted as saying: "None of my fights are fixed. I just don't like getting hurt, and I'm not going to risk my brain and my kids to prove anything."〔 Among his notable fights, Smith lost to Jesse James Leija, Julio César Chávez, and Jorge Páez. The fight with Paez was the subject of a 2004 FBI investigation against promoter Bob Arum for fight fixing.
