Liam smith or Kell Brook

[afcmarshall]

Both will be around about the same price with the bookies who will do better? Can either of them pull off an upset or last the full 12 rounds?

Smith has a considerably better chance imo.

Brooks a better fighter than Smith but he's up against a better opponent so they are rightly the same price with the bookies. Although Brook has power I can't see him being able to stop GGG in his tracks. He'll need a disciplined performance like the Porter one but he'll also need to take more chances as well. I don't think He'll be able to withstand GGGs onslaught for 12 rounds and will probably be stopped late bravely. Both are the best one another has faced so it's a bit of a step into the unknown for the two of them.

The Smith fight I reckon will go the same way but there's a chance Canelo will bring something out in Smith that maybe we haven't seen yet. He won't be able to outmuscle Canelo so will have to box to a plan and pick his moments. He has a good jab which could cause Canelo problems early similar to the Brook fight.

I think both get stopped late after a good go at it but I'd give Smith more of a chance of an upset because I think GGG is genuinely something special. Canelo is top drawer but I think GGG stops him too.

FWIW head to head I think Brook would beat the daylights out of Smith

Ya, I think he'd beat him pretty handily. Liam still strikes me as quite basic and someone who wouldn't be able to get it done at the top-tier.

Have to agree with this.
