oh and now he is down

[Batman]

Now lets listen to Canelo talk about how GGG is ducking him

[powerpuncher]

Canelo is a good fighter with heavy punches. His problem is that he needs to step up his competition. If he is going to stay at 154, then he has a few good fights there that need to be made. If he goes up to MW, then he needs to actually fight a top fighter there.

You only need to look at the size of him against Smith, he still looked massive in comparison.

Good performance off Canelo but pretty similar to Brook v GGG last week, Smith just couldn't hurt him

i think he is heading up to middle weight, I think canelo golovkin is inevitableand by the time it happens canelo will be favourite as golovkin will be too old.... in my opinion canelo has just sniped the opportunities that came his way, the middleweight title v cotto and now the 154 title v smith, i really think he wont stick around 154 after this but lets wait and see !

I can't decide if Smith did better than I expected or not. He kind of had a few moments, but it was hard to tell if Canelo wasn't just taking a breather or waiting to counter. In the corners it was pretty clear Smith didn't have any confidence after 3 or 4 rounds.

[Batman]

He needs to move up, he is fucking massive at 154

[Batman]

Have they been interviewed yet? I've just got Buncey chatting shit, what has been said in the interview?

Can't agree with that, Smith is a natural 154 lber, and only got his work in when Canelo wasn't doing anything.

[Spicoli]

Irony is he may do better at 160 than deep 154. Once he debuts of course. Get this guy a fookin golden chariot ffs. Maybe Saunders or Lemieux - Stevenson winner. Didn't pay for this but still want a check for following it

Oh I'm not saying that it is the same but you have to agree that Canelo looked a lot thicker than Smith and just generally bigger in the body, Smith did only get the work in when Canelo wasn't doing anything but even then he just didn't have the power to hurt him.

I'm not taking anything away from Canelo and I'm not bitching about the weight I was just saying he looked so much more powerful

He needs to fight a legit MW if he moves up.
