Canelo against Smith WBC, IBO

San Antonio Texas, super middleweight world championship; Canelo(5.10),(53,26ko, 1l,2SD) vs Smith(27,16ko)

Callum Smith is a true super middleweight, 6’3 length, good technique, good punch, up to now he has not faced top level opponents, he has beaten good fighters, but not top level ones; he is world champion but he is one step below Canelo, let’s say an important step, he has finished some fights with points that if they had happened to Canelo he would have closed them before.

What is certain is the one man they both beat, Canelo in the fourth and Smith in the first. This does not mean that Canelo hurts less, it means that being small he took more time to find the way to take the shots, which will happen tomorrow night, but once found it will be a problem for the good Englishman. Canelo will take some risks for sure, but he is a boxer of another category; I repeat it will not be a walk in the park, because boxing is made of sacrifices, sweat, to get out of unexpected situations, but Canelo really hurts, and he has another class, another technique, another tactics, another mind; another difference, in our opinion, that here Canelo is in his natural weight category; and in our opinion Smith does not make a big weight cut.

For sure it will be a good fight, that Canelo will bring home, he is serious focused, stronger. In our opinion there will be a GGG vs Canelo three….
