Canelo vs Smith predictions

[kidbazooka]

Smith will hold a huge size and reach advantage but he’s coming off that Ryder fight where he didn’t look his best but we’ve seen guys with off nights and I think it’s pretty safe to say that was one for Callum.

This is dangerous fight for Canelo Smith isn’t coming in with a losers mindset he’s the super six champ, undefeated and the #1 ranked smw. I see this fight nip and tuck for the first half imo but Canelo should slowly start wearing smith down with body shots to take a decision win I don’t see a stoppage here.

I think honestly it is a similar fight to Kov-Canelo. Not a ton of action, a lot of being cautious by both fighters. I think Canelo gets the rounds he needs on the cards.

I think he has a chance to stop Smith late though. He took a beating vs Ryder and Canelo isn't as active as Ryder, but he is a more clinical puncher and finisher.

Smith needs to make his presence felt as the bigger man and get off first. He should take the Nakatani approach if he can absorb canelo’s punches.

Callum Smith by decision guaranteed! Canelo will not get any protection from DAZN anymore!

I agree with that but it’s easier said than done, canelos defense is superb especially his upper body movement.

Good analysis though I do think a lot of people are underestimating Smiths own power the guy can crack so canelo better be on his A game.

It all depends on what version of Smith shows up. We've seen enough of Canelo, even at this weight, to know what he will bring.

Smith was my top pick at 168 pre-Ryder. I thought he looked awful there vs Ryder though. Not sure what was going on with him. If that was a one-off then he can definitely win.

Like most of his fights, I have Canelo getting the decision in a fight that could have gone either way.


This fight could very well backfire on Canelo without Oscar and Golden Boy's influential muscle behind him.

Good gosh!!!

Canelo started at -455 and now is -750!!!! Some serious cash coming in on Canelo too move that much.

I'm torn.

Take Canelo by TKO -115
Or take Canelo decision...
