Canelo vs Callum Smith on Dec 19th

[Master]

What is the Uk start time?

4am?

Watching it on the DAZN app.

That is the time BBC radio 5 live will start their commentary so around then.

Smith is 4/1 to win, that's pretty good odds l, Smith has done well in the past and he's a lot taller. Its possible alvarezs team have seen smith's performance v a guy who is a similar height to alvarez (ryder) and how he had a bit of a struggle there, the thing is alvarez isn't that great at hunting people down and is not so good at cutting the ring off either, could be a miscalculation by them... I'm betting ten Canadian quids on Smith at 4/1.

I give Canelo and team a lot of flak for a lot of things..... but THIS..... isn't one of them.

Canelo & Team NEVER miscalculate.

If they agreed to face Callum, without rehydration clauses even....... the computer must've spit out a major flaw somewhere.

Risk-taking is not in their DNA.

Maybe but I'm not sure, alvarez really isn't a great come forward pressure fighter unless he learned a lot recently and if he did then we have to tip our hat to him :S... He doesn't seem like a guy who does well chasing down a good tall guy, this fight really could go badly for him...

But I also do I agree that his managers really do calculate well, I just think they might be putting too much stock in the ryder fight, add in the promoter and broadcasters disputes, I think this is going to be interesting.

Good points and I sincerely hope you're proven right. I wouldn't mind a KTFO victory for Callum.

If Canelo wins, I would say this would be his best win. Smith is a solid fighter and as far as I know, there are no crazy stipulations for this fight.

[powerpuncher]

I am predicting a close match that Canelo gets the nod on the judges scorecards.
