What's your views on Callum Smith after his last fight?

Discussion in 'British Boxing Forum' started by Primal Pledge, Jun 18, 2016.


  1. Just wondering what's peoples opinion on him after he struggled to take out a Argeniatian shantytown road sweeper.

    Because from what I remember from his previous fight with that mohammed terrorist guy, the sky commentators were shouting through the scream ''world class? you better believe it'' and sure as hell many people did believe it as they came out of the woodwork saying he'd destroy GGG and he'll take out kovalev, talking about him as if he was the new Sugar Ray.:lol:

    Hes very good, its was a flat performance & every boxer can have them. I don't like how he seems to sit in range with his hands up high, he should use his feet more. There's also a lack of head movement as well at times & all this together means he's quite easy to hit. Overall though there's alot to like, he's a big hitter to head & body & hes big for the weight as well. Seems destined to win a world title.

    Well, his trainer is Joe Gallagher. Joe abhors his fighters using even the smallest amount of head movement, and appears to coach it out of his fighters. :patsch
     
  4. That explains the stiffness :lol:

    Didn't realise he was trained by that fraud. He must have a sign in his gym behind the ring ''No head movement allowed''

    All his fighters go in with the mentality of taking a hit to land a shot themselves and stand toe to toe and trade.

    Degale would dance rings around this stiffjob.

    Think he looks easy to hit, his power won't carry through against the top guys and I don't think he will make super middleweight much longer maybe 2 more fights at the weight he is a unit tbh.

    I've still got faith in him.
    His last performance was flat, he still dictated and dominated the fight..

    I think he'll go far

    He could have finished him in first couple of rounds but I reckon he just used him as a sparring session to stay sharp, take a few digs and have a bit of a run out.

    Callum didn't look the best in his last fight but he should still be the 2nd Smith to get his hands on a world title. If you look at Degale he hasn't looked great in his last couple of fights.

    Said from day one, check my posts. Stand by it. Callum will be a World Champion.

    I will go on record now an state he will unify also, his only danger is Degale. An Chunky is someone who doesn't get anywhere near the respect he deserves.

    Smith will be one of the best UK boxers in history, bold statement but I believe it, see what happens

    Didn't think too much into it, it wasn't a meaningful fight... just one to keep him ticking over and get him out in front of his home crowd while he counts down the days until his mandatory shot.

    He was hardly going to be able to "get up" for an opponent like that.

    6'3 Scott Quigg, a good boxer, but will get beat by a slick fighter I think. I don't think he uses his length to his advantage either. Luckily 168lbs isn't the strongest division, but surely he'll be at 175 soon.

    Callum ain't even the best of the smith brothers Liam is.
    My man Singh beats Callum easy. I've sent an offer to Eddie of 20k for the fight but they haven't got back to me yet. Their running scared!
