Canelo, super.

San Antonio Texas, great I say great show.

Canelo vs Smith WBA, WBC of the super middleweight;

Canelo absolute; control, movement, timing, will to win, clear his unquestionable superiority, from the technique to the reach of the blows and to the power that united to a magic angle (only mistake in the match with Money), make him the number one in absolute and among the first five pound for pound in the world, a monster basically.

Smith, heart for sure wrong game plan maybe, but when you have less technique, less punch, less timing but you have jaw, (to consider that Canelo understanding that he would have won anyway has never forced the series, that is he has brought them but has never forced them, that is he has produced the desired effect, but without risking)

Until the seventh the match was on the plane of balance with an advantage in points for Alvarez, from the seventh onwards we have seen some very interesting exchanges with an absolute domination of the Mexican, but has seen at some stage, the replication of Smith, even at short distance, this a bit surprised us, but it was nice to see such a spectacle.

What jumps to the eye was the absolute domination of the match by Canelo, who has always administered everything even perhaps in the two shots or three where he probably lost, but in a substantial balance.

Tactically Smith, perhaps he should have imposed a more hammering rhythm, with that jab and try not to let him approach, but a man like that, who in addition to all the technical skills listed has also a very good jaw, well you can hardly stop him if you don’t have a good punch, something that Smith doesn’t have (or rather doesn’t have to counter a man like Canelo).

The Lord of Mexico, has always started forward, shortening, but not entering, but shortening up to the distance to be able to shoot his deadly blows, his left hook, that uppercut, that right hook to the body, that left uppercut to the body, and it was also seen in some moments, the stoic resistance of Smith, I repeat Canelo has never forced not to risk, let’s say that he is a super fighter even from this point of view, he understood from the beginning, (granted that he knew before he would have won), that he would have raised his hands to the sky, and he has wisely controlled and dominated.

We saw a good match, a control of the champion and the substantial difference between a world champion Smith, and a world champion who is also one of the best pound for pound, in the world. Two men, two hearts, but an obvious technical superiority, tactical power, mentality, boxing is a great sport because it is made by great fighters Canelo is among them, world champion in five different classes at only 30 years old.

Great Canelo.
