Does anybody think that Callum is going to win?
It's a bit of a stretch isn't it ?
Smith is good, but he's possibly the worst unbeaten world champion that's huge at the weight there is. I'd have (wrongly) given him a great chance before Kovalev/Ryder, but how can you give him much of a chance now ?
Canelo has stood up well to GGG and Kov, while Smith's size and power was nullified by Ryder. I can see Smith doing himself proud and making a fight of it, but actually win ?!
He's gotta get a KO or win 9 rounds big and 3 close to get a dec - what price do you need for him to do that ?
I'm really trying to dig in and stay up for it, but every Canelo fight feels like a foregone conclusion. Even more so than Mayweather.

Looks that way.
Bizarre to me that Sky wouldn’t try and pick this one up.

Precisely. It’s a matchroom involved fight so it seems obvious to me.

LA and Las Vegas fights are usually very late, 4am or so ring walks in my experience. Unless Texas is a different time zone?
Edit - it is a different time zone and all. Maybe a 3am ring walk then.

DAZN have launched in the UK, they’re the primary broadcast for the fight. They didn’t want to sell the rights anywhere. Trying to build their subscription base in the UK.

Smith is going to get caught in two styles. He will try to box but be forced to fight. Canelo has been aggressive with these lankier opponents. Smith got away with the Ryder win like a thief in the night. He will pay for that tonight.
