    Callum Smith:Canelo only a decent puncher I expected bigger I overestimated his power

    From Callum Smith post fight interview

    "He never hurt me once in the whole fight. He hit me with one decent body shot where we broke through at the same time. I landed a head shot, and he landed a body one, and I felt it a little.

    "His power wasn’t massive. He was a decent puncher. I expected bigger. I probably overestimated his power.

    "I feel a better version of me would have been a better fight. His power wasn’t more than I expected. I probably expected a little bit more. His power was decent.

    “He tried his best to get rid of me, but he never hurt me. He closed the gap without ding anything, and he always keeps you thinking.

    Then why the hell didn't you do better, Callum?? Are you really that poor a fighter that you couldn't beat a midget?

          Ah...yes...here we go.....more lame British excuses. If I thought a guy had no power then I'd CERTAINLY let my hands go more than the weak British fighter did...but no....the weak brit didn't do that did he. I'm convinced Canelo tore the weak brits bicep with a PUNCH that was blocked.

            As expected.. I predicted that he would hang his hat on going the distance. It was clear with about a minute left in the 12th, where he was looking up at the clock and forcing clock-killing clinches.

                For being in with a guy who punched with less power than expected Callum sure didn't take many chances. Specifically in the last round where he knew he needed to make something happen & instead was clock watching

                  he's right in what he says, he says a better version of him would have made a better fight, which is correct

                  that better version only exists in his dreams however
