    The Tony Dosh PPV v Pudding Pulev fight was widely available in the UK on Saturday on DAZN as is every fight.

    Hope that helps.

    Smith's fight against Fielding is a crashing irrelevance to whether Smith does any better than Fielding did against Canelo

    It shows that Smith is levels above Fielding which is why he will do better than Fielding obviously

    Canelo will do a job on Smith.

    Smith will probably try to keep the fight at range like Khan did for a large portion of the fight minus the brutal KO. I imagine Canelo will win, but will be interesting to see how he goes about getting into range against Smith.

    I think Smith would have a chance if he had been busier leading upto this fight not ideal coming into a fight against an elite world class operator, being out of the ring so long. I don't think Canelo stops him but I think he wins a clear decision.

    Really? Canelos upper body movement is elite and will get him inside with ease. Smith's high guard and wooden Jab aren't going to help him here. He needs to sting Canelo early and make him wary. If he can't do that he is in for a long night.

    Really looking forward to this fight, and I hope Smith chins him. However...

    Callum is the bigger man here, but so was McDonnell against Inoue. Like McDonnell, Callum has overstayed his welcome at the weight division he turned pro in, 8 years ago. He’s 6”3 & 30 years old...he’s been inactive but still keeping within the weight for quite a long time waiting for the phone to ring and it’s rang with a few weeks notice. He would have had to keep his calorie intake below what his body requires for several months...that’s not strong and healthy.

    He’s weight drained, lads. That means he’s not going to be able to punch as hard as he once could and it means that he’s going to feel the shots more than ever. Ryder had huge success because of this imo and Canelo will make it blatantly obvious on Saturday.

    The size difference at their face to face today looks massive.

    . Size difference is huge but don’t think matter think Canelo is levels above smith and will prove it with sickening body shots and eventually stop smith 7 or 8 rounds. Even with the dodgy past look at his resume. Canelo is elite

    I think a lot will depend on how fit Callum is and how much fire he can take back from Alvarez. Kovalev didn't do anything amazing against Canelo but had him handcuffed with light shots made up of jabs and low energy crosses thrown mainly at the guard and for all of Alvarez's slickness on defense he seemed content to sit there and let that happen bar the odd raid - If Smith is heavy handed enough to repeat that then he may have some success.

    I cant see past an Alvarez win especially when you factor in form and inactivity and Smith's struggles against lesser opposition but the size difference is huge. That said size means nothing when the other guy is much more skilled than you are. See the Frampton fight where he was miles shorter than his opponent but out boxed him easily.

    6/1 for Canelo to stop Smith in rounds 10-12 are great odds imo.
