Callum Smith vs Hassan N'Dam on June 1st

**Boksfan** · 05-04-2019, 07:05 AM

I was thinking N'Dam is a middleweight not super middleweight?

Can someone explain to me:

1. How does N'daam keep getting big fights
2. WHY is he still ranked in the top 10 at mw???????

Well. That was one I didn't see coming. I assumed Hassan would want to leverage his WBC 'silver' or whatever it is to get in on the MW action now it's hotting up.

Why is N'Dam fighting at Super Middleweight?

He should have fought Golovkin

He's had a couple at 160 but his last outting was against Murray at 160 for the WBC Silver.

1.Boxing fans have seen him fight before. He is seen as an acceptable opponent with not a whole lot of risk
2.He just beat Martin Murray pretty clearly. And Murray was ranked at #10 by alot of people I believe

He randomly popped up earlier in the week in the WBA rankings at 168, obvious it was coming.

I assume because he was in the running for Golovkin, Hearn jumped on him when he went Rolls. 168 rankings weren't all that great, name wise.

Dude's a good boxer but gets knocked down too much. Stylistically he makes entertaining fights but top guys cam beat him. Tough as nails. Goes down. Gets up again.

He's ranked top 10 because he beat Murray in his last outing for the WBC silver and because on a good day there's a number of guys in the lower top 10 who he could (though not necessarily would) beat.

Ndam will be tricky for a few rounds until Smith gets his range and timing right
