Dan Bobish is after the King of the Cage Super Heavyweight championship and says he's in the best shape of his career... weighing in at a "trim 335 pounds."Standing in Bobish's way at a title shot with KOTC champion Eric Pele is a little-known puncher named Joey Smith... a guy, who although still new to the game at 2-1, features two brutal first-round knockouts to his resume.The Bobish-Smith bout is the headliner for Friday's King of the Cage: Raging Bull event, scheduled at the Agora Theater in Cleveland. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster or by calling the Agora at 216-881-6911.
