Taking his time and not rushing anything will be his downfall, among other things. You can't sit back and hope to plant traps or counter Canelo if you haven't got the skill-set to do it in the first place. Canelo will chop him down like he did Fielding. It might take a few more rounds, but the result will be the same.
We saw Canelo against a shot Kovalev who didn’t throw any punches and he wasn’t chopping anything down tbh. Kovalev just took a dive and signed his cheque.
He’ll fight behind his jab and keep his composure.
I honestly don’t know what happened to him against Ryder or perhaps it’s because Ryder is a brawler but Smith has always used his height adequately in fights.
The good thing is that Canelo isn’t a brawler and that will give him more time to use his range effectively.
****em , what style do you say Smith has. Most of us Americans have not seen him fight. I think it depends on his style, because Canelo is a counter puncher , who is a great mid range and inside fighter.
People are writing off Callum Smith due to how awful he was against Ryder. But he just had a bad day at the office and I see him giving Canelo all kinds of problems.
Not saying he'll definitely win but the fight is going to be similar to Loma vs Campbell. I'd like to see the odds.
One thing you can't take away from Callum Smith is that he's a very calm/measured fighter that takes his time and never rushes anything...and he'll be very disciplined against Canelo. And once you can do that, with the level he's at, anything can happen.
Don't write off the Scouser - he's not Rocky Fielding.
