Looked it up didn’t realize Smith is 6’3” that looks like more than 6 inches and know 7 inches quite well and that is seems like more than 7.
Canelo gonna try and destroy Callum to the body with that height difference. Excited for that scrap tomorrow.
Earlier during the Choi fight: Announcer 1: “That reminds me of the Rocky Creed moment where it froze on them hitting each other at the same time” Announcer 2: “I’ve always wondered who won” Announcer 1: “Well Creed died, so...” Announcer 2: “Yeah, I guess Rocky won in the long run”
This might be sacrilege, but I’ve got no interest now in Canelo-GGG 3. I don’t think GGG can compete, let alone win. At 38, he looks to me like he’s slowing down.
GGG was hitting HARD. I can’t believe he didn’t knock that dude out. I think he could have and he was content just peppering him. Maybe he wanted the work idk if that’s a thing. Sort of like a football team that rolls but needs the starters to stay to get three full quarters of play or something idk.
I think those are valid arguments. But he’s 38 now, and Canelo is in his absolute prime right now. We’re not getting the same version of GGG that went to war with Canelo the first time around. I don’t think that fighter exists anymore. And that’s ok!
Not both the first for sure. He looked good last night but as SC said he looked slow against an overmatched opponent and the fact that he didn’t get him out doesn’t bode well vs Canelo.
DAZN, 8:00 pm ET, Canelo Alvarez vs Callum Smith. Canelo returns for his first fight post-Golden Boy, taking a shot at Smith’s WBA super middleweight title, with the vacant WBC belt on the line, too, because the WBC do whatever they want based on the scenario and the parties involved. It’s a good main event and obviously huge to have Canelo back in action. The co-feature was going to see WBC flyweight titlist Julio Cesar Martinez against Francisco Rodriguez Jr, but Martinez is out. Heavyweight Frank Sanchez and a slew of Matchroom prospects are on the rest of the show. DAZN are advertising the main event for 10 pm ET; DAZN advertisements for main event start times are at this point legendarily comical, but I wouldn’t tune in any later than that if you’re looking to just catch the main event. The 30-year-old Canelo has already won major titles at 154, 160, and 175, and now will look to add a fourth division at 168. Smith, also 30, is defending the WBA title, and the WBC belt is vacant and up for grabs.
