Liam Smith: I'll Beat Canelo - The Haters Can Go F*** Themselves!

By TMZ Sports

Anyone who thinks Canelo Alvarez is gonna stroll into AT&T Stadium this weekend and walk all over Liam Smith can "go f*** themselves" ... this according to Smith.

The undefeated WBO light middleweight champ is squaring off with Canelo on Saturday night in Texas -- and says he's more than confident he'll beat Oscar De La Hoya's best fighter in front of the world.

Alvarez is a HEAVY favorite in the fight -- and some people are saying Smith is more like a warm-up act for Canelo's superfight with Gennady Golovkin next year.

Well, Smith ain't taking too kindly to the doubters -- and came out firing when we spoke with him moments ago. Check out the clip.

"To the ones who are disrespectful towards me, said I was going to be a slaughtered lamb or something - go f*** yourselves because you're going to be wrong about me on Sunday when I beat Canelo. I will shock everyone who said the things that they said," Smith said.
