Comments Thread For: Callum Smith Says Canelo Began Targeting Left Arm in First Round

[Oldskoolg]

Jermain Taylor targeted Winky Wright's arms.
That was actually a very entertaining fight

Because winky used to be very effective with that peekaboo defence so much that even when Winky stood in front of his opponents they never could land flush shots

Hopefully Smith can make a full recovery and get back winning another title eventually.

9/11 Was an inside job

This brother is even ******er then the first one Clenelo beat, no jab no feet... just 12 rounds of
walking around like a dumb sasquatch.. ps never even heard of these two clowns before fighting Clenelo..

It was a clever tactic from team Canelo. Smith's catch then counter left is a shot he throws well, and it was taken away from him early doors.

U said that to say what?

Smith sounds shocked that Canelo had a strategy...

Should've rolled better with the punches and not take the bulk of the damage on one targeted spot.

Pathetic

So Canelo decided to aim for his arms more than his jaw...why would any elite fighter on the planet do that ??
A beyond ridiculous thing to say or to listen too.
A pathetic attempt at a excuse

Love the old school wrinkle he added. The Red Head is impressive. The guy keeps pushing himself and doesn’t rest on his laurels.

As it is an excuse I liked how he said i wouldn't have won with both hands anyways. That kind of took the glare of the excuse making for me atleast ....and why would canello do that ?? Lol lots of great fighters target the arms. Its a simple strategy that is effective wirh the right match ups . With a taller fighter taking away their lead hand is huge . It closes the distance most importantly and like callum just said it takes away his best shot . Tonnes of elite fighters use this strategy often it just doesn't usually cause arm hematomas so it doesn't get discussed as much ....iam assuming u don't fight or never have .
