Let’s get it on!…..
Agreed scoobs. So ready for this fight
Smith is very much a live underdog here folks
Canela should win.
Arturo: well, if Smith believes that he is not gonna get a fair shake as you do, i guess he better seek and destroy and not let it go to the scorecards. If he does, he will jus have to deal with whatever decision is made.
Artura, his name is Canelo!
I got Canelo Alvarez by Body shot KO!!!! Slowly but without a doubt Canelo will break Smith with body shots and finish him with the left hook body killer!!! Let’s go Alvarez!!!!!
Is the weigh in open to the public
Smith in 2!
Yeah Smith Going Down in two!! Hahahahaha let’s go Canelo Alvarez!!!!!!!
I dont see Callum as an easy win by any stretch. His record shows he packs a punch. Its all going to depend on his chin. He has stiff whiskers Canelo is in for a long night.
Callum has been smacked by bigger hitters than Canelo and has never even been wobbled. Groves it’s tons harder than Canelo and he got a couple of good shots in on Callum but the Brit kept walking him down. No way on Earth does Canelo stop the Brit with a shot upstairs. To the body is possible but I see Canelo losing the fight but getting the decision. I’m calling it right now, unless Callum lands hard upstairs then he will knock Canelo smooth out.
Interesting point re Callum’s chin. Makes it more interesting.
Beterbiev should be at the top of the list. Thats the best fight out there which his camp wants no part of.
Beterbiev is to heavy for Canelo. Maybe GGG vs Beterbiev. Do u think GGG would take that fight? Lmao
Well apparently Kovalev wasn’t too heavy. A shot older fighter. Let him face the best in the division.
Other than Mayweather who he lost to and GGG who he lost to once, but was awarded the fight what top tier fighter has he fought? Callum is really the first and he gives him the freaking fight with a months notice. WTF? really? Bivol or Beterbiev? It ain’t happening. Thats what I hate about todays boxing in the 70s and 80s. All the Ali fights against the best in the division. Sugar ray leonard, marvin hagler, tommy hearns, roberto duran, dwight kwawi, carlos monzon, and etc and etc. All fighting the best available oppnents. now a guy loses one fight and hes no good. It all f***ed up.
Ryder faught Smith the way a short fighter should fight a taller fighter. The problem is is that Smith is most dangerous at mid-range and he throws damn good uppercuts. Ryder just rushed him pretty good and kept his head in his chest. Canelo doesn’t fight that way, so this is an interesting fight. Smith will not be fully trained nor at 100%, but I have to give Canelo props for even taking this fight even though it’s in his home country (sort of) Smith has real knockout power and is not shot to s*** like Kovalev was. The only problem is that Smith can only win by knockout. All Canelo really has to do is dance around the ring and pot shot and throw combinations that hit air or Callum shoulders or gloves to win the fight. This could be a boring fight where the Mexican evades all night while being chased down by the Brit. However, all Smith has to do is land a clean shot once and Canelo will at the very least be on queer Street. If the Brit gets him there he will definitely finish him, because Smith is a monster when he hurts you.
Part of what you said is accurate, but not the way Canelo will fight him IMO. Smith’s foot work is clumsy, very bad and Canelo will take full advantage of that. Canelo will fight Smith the same way he fought Golovkin the second time, but not the way he did against a shot Kovalev, Smith is bigger and fresh.
Chris: i agree, Smith is definitely a Monster. This is for sure Canelo’s biggest test and we will see what he is truly made of. Especially with no ODLH by his side. It will be interesting. Idk man, i think im still going with Canelo. His ring IQ and obviously the need to win to prove his point is at stake. We will see though. Its gonna be a nail biter!
Smith better KO Canelo and definitely not let it go the scorecards otherwise he could find himself on the wrong end of the track.
Get your money on Callum Smith, you won’t regret it.
Can’t wait for this fight. Smith is a live dog! Oh and Armanda La Grande his name is Arturo and Canelo is the red headed slut who I am sure you have a tattoo that says Canelo on your rump or a tramp stamp…
Lmao.. I hope Artura sees your post… fukkken straight up Canelo hatter; Canelo will win and everyone will make excuses!!! Canelo is P 4 P # 1 for a reason!!!
I believe the odds are too wide for this fight, Alvarez has not beaten a proven fighter at this weight
(No you can’t count Kovalev he did not even throw a right hand the whole fight and he was the Krusher obviously he has issues with his right hand)
Bottom line is I would give Alvarez 2/1 edge but not 5/1 6/1 etc..
