Callum Smith moving up to 175

I’m excited, hope he does well

 

Not very well

 

Good luck to him. I think he'll do ok. He looked too thin at SMW.

 

6'3" and 168 pounds. Dude looked like he just escaped Auschwitz. Putting on a few pounds will help, but let's see if his (low level)
power comes along with the extra weight.

 

Smart move. I expect him to do very well up there

 

Loses a lot of the advantages he carried at 168. Won't be that much taller, longer or heavier than his opponents, and they'll hit harder than he's used to. His one-dimensional Gallagheristic style will be his downfall because it relied on all the advantages of size which will be diluted at 175. Hard to say what this all means for him until he debuts there...

 

I'd change trainer & promoter if I were him… He looked really good at one point in his career but in his last two fights he has looked **** .. he's flatlined & lost momentum.. I just don't sense any urgency or next level mentality with him.. he had all the physical tools but his career has been disappointing..

 

The Smith brothers have a stupid sense of loyalty to Gallagher. They wont leave him.

 

He must have been killing himself to make 168.

Might be good for him, theres some easy to make fights for him at 175.

 

Why change promoter?

Hearn got him his biggest ever fight and pay day

What more could he have given him?

 

A training camp

 

Why not?

 

Touche!

 

Wonder if Callum will continue to come to lose after his stellar "let him plod towards you" Clenelo performance
