Smith was nothing but a paper champion who was lucky to be holding a worthless title, which Canelo seems pretty eager to vacate with all this GGG negotiations apparently about to take place. Like most UK fighter's Smith talked a huge game with comments like " I know who my next fight will be against-Canelo" since " GBP will be offering me huge money to fight him again after beating Canelo Sept. 17" ...and then afterwards adds something to the effect of ..."sorry I couldn't spar the last 4 weeks due to cuts which limited my training" WTF he sounds like a graduate of MannyPacs course on how to explain losses.
Smith isn't very good. He was UK domestic level, maybe Euro level. Definitely not world level. Your stock doesn't rise taking that type of beating. Smith was exposed.
