CANNY PLAN Callum Smith accuses Canelo Alvarez of deliberately targeting tricep injury

Canelo Alvarez admitted right after the fight to having targeted Smith's right arm to disable it.
There's nothing illegal about it, arms are fair game.

 

You're supposed to go after an opponent's weakness. The guy has a cut, you try to open that cut up more. He's hurt to the body, you try to hurt it more. Injured shoulder or bicep or whatever, you target it.

 

He was loading up on some huge shots knowing they would hit arms. never seen an arm swell up like that though, that mexican cow meat is something else i tell you what

 

For ****'s sake.

 

Canelo didnt target the injury,he inflicted it

I remember he tried the same thing with floyd

 

After round 2 Reynoso tapped Canelo's shoulder and said "Finish him here first".

Then after round 6 Reynoso said, "You're starting to hurt his shoulder."

 

Those are legal punches so i have no idea what the hell Smith is complaining about.

 

What a cry baby. You target any weakness.

 

Hopefully Callum and his family didn't bring that Super Coronavirus to TX!

 

whats the difference between this and any fighter targeting a cut or a swollen eye?

 

“Sweep the Leg!”

 

No one should be surprised by this. Clenelo lacks true confidence — the willingness to go into battle on an even playing field. Whether it's PEDs, stacked gloves, rehydration clauses, or catchweights, Clenelo has to have every single possible advantage heading into a fight. The fact that Clenelo targeted Smith's arm is a reflection of his slimy character. Yeah, it's not illegal, but there's something to be said for playing the game right.

It's like in baseball — many guys will slide into base as hard as they can w/ the intention of causing damage. Some take it to the next level and want to take guys out. And the nature of the play gives guys that "unintentional" gray area that can absolve them. Again, you have to decide what you want to look for and appreciate in an athlete.
