Comments Thread For: Callum Smith Ready To Impress, Eyes World Title Shot

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Callum Smith will unleash months of frustration at the Barclaycard Arena in Birmingham on Saturday night and says another win will prove he’s ready for a massive fight this summer.

Smith has been out for nearly six months with a hand injury following his comprehensive win over former World title challenger Nikola Sjekloca in November in Liverpool in a third defence of his WBC International Super Middleweight title.

The 25-year-old is ranked at four in the WBC and will announce a big fight in the coming weeks in his hometown in June, and Smith believes victories in Birmingham and on a big night in Merseyside this summer will lead to him closing in on a world title shot.

callum smith eyes tune up after another tune up for a tune up, dont mention rocky fielding or joe gallagher will drop a bana skin on the floor of the gym for him to slip on.

I can beat sjekloca he is all wrong technically, he's only a 1 , 2 fighter. Ok sjekloca is world class! According to david price his last guy was world class! now even ward saying paul smiths not a soft opponent, these guys think were ******.

His last fight was a decent step up (admittedly not world class) and then he had 6 months out injured.

There's been a few dud opponents but he hasn't been brought through terribly.

I wonder who the big name is that they're mentioning for June.

[knockoutkid]

and you got paul smith saying he's a murderous puncher! does he have a hidden boxrec record cause ive never seen him hurt a genuine opponent?

The BBBofC have ordered Smith/Fielding for the vacant British title, so could we please just get that out of the way before any talk of Micky Mouse World title fights that don't actually mean anything?!!!!!!!!................................. .................

Olegs Fedetovs is just a heavy bag with arms and legs and Callum Smith will learn zero from facing him, but Smith doesn't make the matches, does he. He's the one who does the fighting and, so far, he's shaping ok. There's talent there. He's 6' 3" tall and has the tools to box from outside and utilise the advantages of height and reach but he also knows the value of body shots and is good at whipping them in on both flanks. Callum isn't going to be taking out top guys by chinning them with single punches but it seems to me he hits hard enough to get anybody's full attention, and liver shots bring a world of pain, no matter how tough you are. Smith's developing an all round game and, after giving this next farce a miss, I'll be looking forward to seeing him against somebody testing. The kid's a real prospect imo.
