Smith detroys Newbank.

He’s a hell of a fighter so I give him his props. I think he can get in title contention and get a big money fight relatively quickly.

That was supposed to be the Nelo fight, no?

He has only ever beaten George Groves. There is nothing else.

Good. Callum Smith in terms of ability is definitively way above Domestic and European level 'And he is just about hovering in and around World level. Pretty much like Luke Campbell was during his career in the light weight divisions'.

And by the way? I consider overall Luke Campbell in terms of pure boxing ability 'To be a marginally better fighter than Callum Smith. At least in the professional ranks, but not that much'.

Luke Campbell fought in a more competitive advanced boxing division and era 'The only real reason why Campbell was not a World Champion, was because? He was competing in the 135 pound divisions, at the absolute peak of Vasily Lomachenko and other great fighters such as Jorge Linares'.

There has not really been that level of ability, in the Super Middle Weight and even Light Heavyweight Divisons 'During Callum Smiths career'.

Apart from Dimtri Bivol and Arthur Beterbiev, the Light Heavyweight Divisions are also way below par compared to past boxing era's 'In my opinion'.

Note: I personally think Callum Smith's performance vs Arthur Beterbiev, was a improvement from his effort vs Canelo Alvarez 'I honestly thought Smith underperformed vs Canelo Alvarez. Liam Smith when he fought Canelo Alvarez at 154 pounds, actually for as long as the fight lasted? Produced a better effort'.

Callum Smith really should of established his jab vs Canelo Alvarez, which would of given him more time 'To potentially set up his power punches. But instead he did not quite, put enough power into his jabs'.

Maybe that performance was down to Smith struggling to make the weight 'And the short preparation time for the fight. Smith only really had 6 weeks to prepare for the fight'.

To conclude: So, far his light heavyweight career has been satisfactory. Nobody can really say that Callum Smith has had any bad performances at 175 pounds, he has pretty much executed his best fight in each contest.

I think Callum Smith is good enough to string together a few solid consecutive wins 'And get himself into title contention. Whether he can win a World title, will be influenced highly by stylistically factors'.

Smith has power, and skill for skill he has a good level of ability 'Those attribute's are always going to make him a dangerous fighter for the majority of light heavyweight fighters. As I don't think this 175 boxing era is super great in terms of overall ability'.

Many people regard Callum Smith as the best fighter out of the four brothers 'I am not so sure. It is very close between Callum Smith and Liam Smith' etc.

How humbling to have fought Canelo and now on a Sunny Edward’s undercard.

He has the frame to move to cruiser weight, I'd chase zurdo if i was him, i don't think he make light heavy easily.
