I don’t get this whole mismatch thing
it’s not like Canelo is blowing opponents away in a few rounds. Most of his fights with decent fighters are competitive and some debatable decisions. pretty much any solid world level fighter is generally competitive with Canelo, so there’s no reason why Smith can’t be, even if he loses.Comment

For me, it's the styles. Looking at Smith's height and long open body, I think Canelo will be super aggressive, and tee off on him. Callum doesn't use his height advantage effectively and isn't a defensive master either.I don’t get this whole mismatch thing

You can look at that two ways though...
Callum actually does his best work at mid range too, where he is deceptively quick with short punches and can catch and counter. so far Canelo to get in range where he likes to work, he has still got to have to be in Smiths comfort zone too.
Don’t get me wrong, Canelo is a heavy favourite, but there a lot of people out there that think Smith is just some big lanky guy and don’t realise he fights really well up close. It could be interesting.
Smith is not Rocky Fielding 2, as we saw when Smith folded him in a round.
I don’t think it’s going to be as simple just as being able to tee off on Smith’s body. I think he’s good enough to not make it too easy to do that. Not to say Canelo won’t have his success doing that.Comment

when one rocky fielding meets another rocky fielding, one of the rocky fieldings has to win and it happened to be the rocky fielding named callum smith. in reality they are indistinguishableYou can look at that two ways though...

We shall see soon I guess. I never meant to say Callum is a bum. It's not a mismatch, but Smith is at least a few levels below Canelo.You can look at that two ways though...
