Re: Liam Smith's size as a light middleweight
He looks taller but canelo isn't a huge lightmiddle heightwise. Canelo is thicker I am sure you will see in the ring, but thats not what will decide the fight, levels will decide the fight.

Liam is pretty stockily built himself though. It's not like he's just tall but scrawny with it.Counter-puncher wrote:He looks taller but canelo isn't a huge lightmiddle heightwise.

Canelo is the more talented fighter of the two for sure although we don't really know how good Liam is yet due to him feasting on a lot of poor opposition up to now.

Re: Liam Smith's size as a light middleweight
canelos huge at the weight
look at the difference here. canelo much broader. bigger neck, bigger head, bigger fist, bulkier body etc. i wonder what they weighed here

Canelo looks like he's got a bit of a gut on him in that pic. I agree with the rest of your points though in regards to how they look there.TheLeprechaun wrote:canelos huge at the weight

Re: Liam Smith's size as a light middleweight
Liam is taller but Canelo is bigger when it comes to most of the other attributes/measurements.

maybe but it looked like smith won the battle of the "guns" when they were head to head with t shirts onThe Law wrote:Liam is taller but Canelo is bigger when it comes to most of the other attributes/measurements.
Re: Liam Smith's size as a light middleweight
The Tecate girl to the right in the video is a near perfect example of the female form.

Re: Liam Smith's size as a light middleweight
I personally thought Canelo's biceps looked bigger. However, I don't think size will be an issue in this fight.littlepug wrote:maybe but it looked like smith won the battle of the "guns" when they were head to head with t shirts onThe Law wrote:Liam is taller but Canelo is bigger when it comes to most of the other attributes/measurements.
Re: Liam Smith's size as a light middleweight
I do agree Canelo looks the bigger. Thicker set and bigger hands, so overall I'd expect him to have a decent power edge in this fight. Liam has a chance though, it's no Kell Brook vs GGG type task I don't think.
Re: Liam Smith's size as a light middleweight
What's your pick? I reckon Canelo between 8 and 12. Liam could make it to points but with his style he's going to have to absorb a lot of punishment. I'd see Gallagher throwing in thr towel before that happens. I see Smith delivering a brave offering and having little moments in the fight but just not being quite good enough.The Law wrote:I personally thought Canelo's biceps looked bigger.

I wouldnt be hugely shocked if he ends up being Brooks introduction to 154 next year either.

Hopefully he'll look like Jimmy Krankie after the fightCaptainSpacerod wrote:Canelo looks like Jimmy Kelly in this vid
Re: Liam Smith's size as a light middleweight
I predict a mid to late round stoppage win for Canelo. I think he will gradually break Liam down. I agree that Beefy will put on a brave effort and he's not afraid of anyone.lefty wrote:What's your pick? I reckon Canelo between 8 and 12.

Re: Liam Smith's size as a light middleweight
both like to box behind a high guard so can see this going to points, have to favour canelo just based on his experience, although be interesting to see if smith can capitalise on his extra height

Re: Liam Smith's size as a light middleweight
Canelo looks the bigger man, and that's despite being sucked in drawn and probably struggling to walk because of all the weight he cuts to get down to 154/155.
On the night he is going to be a lot lot bigger then Smith I imagine (on the scales at least) but I am hoping that it is going to take so much out of him to make it that Liam can win this on workrate.
However, looking at who they have boxed and past performances I wouldn't be getting my hopes up for a smith win, especially with Gallagher in the corner.

Re: Liam Smith's size as a light middleweight
Does Smith have good side to side movement, is he light enough on his feet to move in and out? (Not expecting Willie Pep)
