Not often you see a graduated journeyman get as much pop and visibility for a ppv as Rosado. Look, I totally respect his approach and pack a lunch mentality but he's all I'm seeing in some lead up ;D. Guy is just two corn dogs and the zippers over his eye reopening away from a wwe promo. Canelo gets the trinket he may actually be in for a bigger division than he may want.
Smith will dent Canelo more than anyone else he has faced yet.
Its free to box nation subscribers so I will get to see a good scrap I hope.
Joshua Franco and Hector Tanajara Jr., both from San Antonio and training at the Robert Garcia gym in Riverside CA, are on the undercard.
Hope i'm wrong but Smith doesn't look quick enough to me to stop Canelo teeing off to the body and multi punch combinations. Not sure just how strong Smiths resilance is but I'd say a Canelo stoppage in 4-8 rounds - again I hope it's a Smith stoppage because he aint winning on points in Texas
Just watching Beefy on BoxNation now, the closer the fight is coming the more worried I'm getting, I really fancied Smith to put a bit of a show on and make it a tough fight for ginger pubes, watching now though I can't help but notice that he gets tagged an awful lot, fair enough he is fighting bums who can't hurt him so he may not be too concerned and he may do better at staying out of Canelo's way.
I also have a feeling that he may freeze, similar to Frampton when he took his first fight over the pond, I fucking hope not, I'm just getting these niggling doubts that Ginger Pubes will get an easier night than I was originally expecting.
he does seem to be a lot taller than canelo though, well going from the weigh in photos, that will be a good advantage for him. This one should be a fun fight whoever wins I am looking forward to it.Quote:

I haven't at all thought he would win but I did pick him to make a good fight, I'm just thinking now though that canelo will just be too good for him.Quote:

Hoping it goes past the 6th round so El Pollo can come up with a lame excuse as to why he didn't finish off a smaller fighter.
Rooting for Smith.
Well boxnation have said they are expecting the main even no later than 5am, been on for am hour and no sign of any undercard fights yet
