Canelo ain't going anywhere near that.

For an elite boxer Smith is slowish.., a little plodding.., but is he the biggest SMW in the history of the division ?
You don't have to be that good when you that big.

There isn’t much at the weight for him.

Eddie in a tux, where’s the usual turtle neck or the latest Essex fashion?

Good to see that Joe Gallagher is so realistic of Smiths bargaining power vs the biggest name in boxing that he feels he can say ‘the fight happens at Anfield or not at all.’

Sweet Caroline, casuals singing, 1/50 favourites and dodgy hometown decisions for GB&I fighters @ MSG in NYC.

Eddie gets a lot of stick and rightly so - but he's managed to export his crud to America and they seem to be loving it. :witzend:
