Yeah the catch and counter is smiths go to move. If anything it was actually a smart game plan by canelo and his team.
He says it’s no excuse after making an excuse that he deliberately targeted his arm that’s why he could not throw his money punch with the left hand blah blah blah. From where I come from it’s bull****.
You sound frantic and quite frankly insane. If that was the plan? Then why the hell did I see him targeting him arm from the opening bell, I even commented on it on the RBR for Christ sake. Just give it a rest and take a step back Mr. Lawyer, you misread the article, and in a fit of rage, you decided to make Mt. Kilimanjaro out of a toppled salt shaker.
How is that an excuse? His arm ballooned up. People talked about it. And now Smith explained what happened, took nothing away from Canelo and gave him praise for it. If the man wanted to make excuses, he could have easily blamed his short camp.
I thought so too, over time I realised he's a pathological liar and pure fool with an ego the size of a country.
OP ist stupid. When Canelo hit Khan on the Chin and Khan went to sleep, would it be an excuse to say "he hit me right on the chin with a really hard right hand?"
You give it a rest mate. It was a stupid thing for Smith to say. It’s only on this forum you will get people defending the indefensible.
There's that age-old saying in boxing 'take away your opponent's best punch'. Canelo just took that to another level. Also Smith presents his arms as targets because of his static shell defence. Might as well have painted targets on them.
Speak for yourself mate. All Smith needed to say is I lost fair and square and make no excuses. Excuses sound like what they are excuses.
Apart from the fact he was already training knowing he had a December date which could well be Canelo. Excuses are BS.
