    I have got 28/1 on Smith to win in either round 9 or 10.

    When he was fighting at 155ib it was always rumoured he was coming in ring around 180ib. I think both fighters in ring weight will be similar.

    With five loses on his record it was hardly the performance to force a big opportunity in the States. Was really disappointed in Ryder.

    I see Team Canelo has picked a really big ring for the fight. The biggest Callum Smith has ever fought in. That tells me Canelo is looking just to fight and range with counters. I think picking a huge ring is a mistake by Canelo's team, what's peoples thoughts ?

    Can’t see a way Smith legitimately gets the job done.
    If smith can avoid the body assault Canelo will be looking at landing then it will be Canelo unanimous for me.

    still great to see the matchup and one ill be staying up for

    Thanks mate, I missed that. I think I was proper worried about potentially seeing a spoiler that I didn’t look properly.

    I fancy Smith to produce the goods tonight. Feel he is being massively overlooked

    My prediction.

    Canelo gets to him, yes, Smith will be awkward for the first 4 rounds, he will stick out a long jab but Canelo will apply pressure with his positioning and feet, he will make Smith work. Canelo will eventually get closer and then it all starts to unravel for Smith.

    Ryder could close the distance so don't tell me Canelo can't.

    Canelo ends it with bodyshots between 8-11.

    Smith the most overrated Brit I’m aware of, just a weight bully from what I can tell. Canelo stopped kovalev didn’t he? So he isn’t going to be intimidated by a lanky scouse giraffe. Canelo via brutal Ko 1-6

    Looking so forward to this, I really want Smith to win but I just honestly can't see it happening.

    Not good. Other guy had no interest in fighting really but still, he should be getting to him

    Weight bullys dont exist. You both weigh in the same.
