    I think it is because he only tends to fight people who are a lot lighter than him, he won't have such an advantage this time so people assume he will miss the weight in order to blow up bigger than usual.

    Fair enough. I wasn't saying otherwise about his opponents, although Lara is a good natural JMW that he beat fair and square, and nobody had any problem with the 155 catchweight for Cotto beforehand. I think that weight was used just so he could parade around as middleweight champ, not because he had any trouble making 154. If he comes in heavy for this I'll eat crow I guess, but there is no evidence that making the weight will hamper him, and I don't think he needs an unfair advantage to beat Smith myself.

    Only action Saturday night but putting this empty card on a $60 PPV is becoming the punchline of Canelos career. He has to really stop surrounding himself with Golovkin KO victims in support roles for one thing . For all the right reasons I hope Liam refuses to read the script and keeps his head out of the clouds and moment..just do work one single round at a time.
