Little Red is going down!! Smith is going to drop him . Watch…
No way in hell (aka Mexico) would DLH allow Canelo fight anyone with a 10% chance of beating his cash cow.
He ain’t Golden Boy anymore! Aren’t you up to date???
GGG: Valdez jus got out of the Mexican jail. Hes still behind on times lol
He’s not with De La Hoya anymore
Idiot, Canelo is a free agent, he is not longer tied with HLH.
Yep let’s hope so ! Canelo “Cinnamon head steroid king ” Alverez
“Steroid King” Lol, gosh you people are pathetic!
Yes, huge height advantage as seen in the photo. However, let’s not jump the gun here. Alvarez’s arsenal of weapons, great chin, and perseverance will equalize that height. I will predict a TKO for Alvarez.
Height advantage is nothing compared to “juice” and judge(s) advantage.
Nothing had changed loosers starts crying before the fight
The WBC included their belt to allow Canelo a higher limit of Clenbuterol for this fight. Canelo loves fighting these European, straight-up style, boxers. This is why Canelo would never fight a guy like Plant – who has good rhythm and movement. Winning the World Boxing Super Series is no small feat. This is a solid matchup as long as Smith dont pull a Kovalev at the end.
Your comment does have some validity in my opinion. It does make sense.
I don’t see any of these guys fighting Erislandy Lara, Austin trout, Danny Jacobs or GGG (3x) Please do tell who Plant has foughten that has an actual worthy resume….?
Don’t worry, I’ll wait…..
Same song and dance weve heard before. Except back then it was about Callum smith when he fought the brother. Now its Plant. If/when he fights plant, it’ll jus be “another name” hes avoiding let it go guys
Canelo is not a coward like the rest of all the champions that never fight each other maybe they should learn from canelo he is showiny them how is done and he will fight any champion in 168 or 160 he just can’t fight them all in one night get the point
Caleb plant is a nonody he hasent fought anyone really as por smith is a way better boxer and fighter and he refused to fight canelo once already
Canelo will beat his body into submission
I agree with punishing the body. Canelo is at the perfect height for full leverage into his body shots and chop him down.
Smith in 2!
. . . !
Smith’s Big height advantage means Canelo will have a field day playing the xylophone on his ribs! Expect a good deal of body shots coming his way.
Canelo will only be able to win with landing to the body … because he wont be able to reach Smith’s head ! (he will, but it just looks like it ‘)
The only way the cheat will beat Callum and that is if he has been eating lots of contaminated meat.
That’s a dumb ass comment. Always hating.. this guy deserve his props. His resume speaks for its self. Canelo is 1 pound for pound. We will see what adjustments he makes throughout the fight. Should be a good one!
It’s difficult to look past the Ryder performance and see where Smith has a chance. Ryder positively stayed with Smith by feinting and showing an interest in getting inside when Smith would wind up on the ropes. Smith could not get the leverage he wanted to do damage. A far cry from the Groves fight and you’d have to be a fool to think Canelo hasn’t studied the Ryder fight.
The question now is what did Smith learn from the Ryder fight? Will he be sharper for Canelo? Will it matter? We know Canelo knows how to feint and get inside to do damage. We know Canelo hits a lot harder than Ryder. We also know Smith can bang but he needs distance to do that. Canelo is going to make that very difficult for him. Will Smith read the feints? Will he stand up to the pop of Canelo?
It’s all very interesting and I think we’re in for an entertaining evening. Good for both of these guys to turn up for a much needed history session. I’m leaning Canelo but I’d like to see a very good fight either way. Keep it alive!
As a former fighter, Canelo’s, First throw, will be a jab to the body. Once, there is contact, then, Canelo, knows it’s easy to hit him. Then, he will break the confidence of his opponent. ( It’s that simple)
Canelo gonna chop down that tree.
Canelo delivers a knockout. Wouldnt that be surprising, or even Canelo getting knocket out himself. Hmmmmm
Dangerous fight for Canelo, but experience in the ring will start showing on the later rounds of the fight. Canelo will work Smith’s body all the way to the 12th round. It should be an interesting fight to see.
Callum is gonna flatline Canelo…bet your holiday saving$$$$
I’m going to tell you the truth canelo is a piece of sshhiitt he lost to Mayweather and he lost twice to GGG it doesn’t matter if he loses the judges are in his pocket. Es la verda
