Smith v Canelo

[Nameless]

That was an interesting bout but the better man won. In my opinion, Smith has a style similar to Canelo, same kind of roughness to him BUT he's kind of a category just under him in matter of power and raw talent. Still, a very competitive fighter and he'll have some other cool fights quite soon.

Loved the post fight interview, Max was able to press him on the real question and watching him take jabs at Oscar was glorious. We'll be reading Max's sudden resignation letter next week lol

Alvarez says he hurt his hand which is why the fight went as long as it did. I haven't watched it myself yet so I'll reserve my judgement until I see it. Could mean he's not fighting in December or until Cinco de Mayo or 1 year from now. Perhaps they'll use this as an excuse to not fight at all next year, wouldn't surprise me.

So Alvarez hurts his hand fighting a 154 lb'r and cites that as a reason the fight went 9 rounds. GGG literally breaks Brook's face and rates his performance a 3/10.

What I find very strange is the input of Joe Gallagher , Joe is a good trainer with success however like his advice to Scott Quigg against Frampton , his advice is always stay tight / take your time / blah blah blah.
Quigg could have beaten Frampton with a busier work rate , I'm not sure Smith would have won but I was left thinking - Smith is the defending champion and is in there to survive , sums up the value of the WBO belt really.
End of the day Canelo was way better.
