    I can't see how Smith wins other than a lucky punch. He froze against Canelo and I don't think he has that Yarde mentality to think 'eff it I'm going toe to toe'

    This is what I think. Smith is better than Yarde but Yarde gave AB a fight by throwing with him whereas Smith will try to box, on the back foot most likely, and won't put in as good a performance as Yarde.

    Unfortunately I don’t fancy Smith for this one. He didn’t show the heart that will be needed in this fight against Canelo.

    No such thing as a lucky punch. You throw it, it lands.

    I don't get why people give a **** about Callum Smith he literally gives nothing back to the fans. Awful resume and always inactive. He's now 33 without 1 standout win, please don't even try argue Groves was a standout win.

    Not saying he does. I'm a boxing fan, why on earth would I follow him?
