Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez vs. Callum Smith - 19 December 2020

[Ruthless-RKO]

Canelo doesn't look like he has been in a fight.

It's not harsh on Smith. He couldn't/didn't do anything all night.

He looks like he did when he walked out.

[sir123]

Canelo is a once in a generation fighter. A true elite fighter, cant see anyone beating him from SWW to LHW.

[DrDuke]

Smith got dominated. No big effort by him. Shades of lil Chavez. I gave Smith only the 8th.

He adapts to everyone.

Cal Smith not being interviewed??

I bet he’s heartbroken..

It's all about levels, you can't box on the backfoot against Alvarez with slow footwork because all he did was close him down and throw basic shots and win every round. I don't think Callum could have gone out on his 'shield' without getting KO'd within 30 seconds but he showed grit, heart - I think Canelo broke his nose in the ninth round with that uppercut so - he stuck it out to lose on points.

What's worse is how much boxing has regressed - could you imagine 1985 Thomas Hearns having trouble with either of these for a few rounds? Chavez and how he closed his opponents off with bodyshots and combinations - he was mesmerising to watch - the way HE totally broke down Edwin Rosario - who was a class boxer himself - and he just dismantled him. If we're going to knock Smith, then we should knock Canelo because compared to the no.1's of the past, he doesn't set the world alight either.

Yeah, he's the best around now but so what! Meh!

[TheGman]

Ever heard the saying "dont slug with a slugger"? Well Smith just fought Canelo's fight.

Probably going to the hospital to get his broken nose fixed, that must be stinging like fornicate!

Beterbiev can probably.

Ah he’s here now.

Really?

A prime Thomas Hearns would have decapitated him and his steroids!

[Ruthless-RKO]

Smith saying he feels he’s outgrown the weight.

He basically cashed in on the 168 division.. will obviously move up now..

Canelo doesn't beat the elite LHWs does he ?
I say Beterbiev, Bivol are good enough to be too big - unlike Smith and past-it Kov.

I think he means today..

[TheGman]

Drop down to 154 and fight spence or crawford,

No, a proper world class light heavyweight would pose big problems! Canelo looked tiny even against Smith.

Yeah obviously the likes of Hearns would have even Calzaghe! I was talking about the current fighters.

[skanksta]

Smith has a kinda haemotoma on his bicep - Ouch !

I know but so what, the game has regressed badly!

[Ruthless-RKO]

Callum’s arms are swollen! Whoa!

Look really bad.

[sir123]

Smith likely to move up to LHW but what isnhe gonna do? European level at best, will come up short against the likes of Beterbiev.

[Grilling Machine]

Yeah, he's the best around now but so what! Meh!

He lost to Mayweather and Golovkin, but he is the best right now. When Smith had momentum after beating Groves I really fancied him to beat Canelo, but that was a good while ago and he did look weaker, regardless of how well Canelo took his shots.

But I've no idea if he's lost a bit of pep making weight, or if the power was still there and he simply wasn't committing fully.

[Jimmy2020]

The Brits giving Smith an ego massage now but everyone else around the world will see him as yet another Eurobum.

What about Bivol?

Is Bivol really THAT special?

[TheGman]

Imagine calzaghe fightin Canelo? Canelo wouldnt of seen round 12 imo,Calzaghe would of pummelled him with his work rate.
