I agree with Lusty here he does start 30-27 down on the scorecards already !

Being serious it depends on what clause Canelo has put in Smiths contract it’s one thing that annoys me if you fight at SMW then you should fight them in what is normal conditions.

Callum defo has a chance without doubt but I back Canelo to win on points here.

We need to remember as well Callum sparked Fielding in one round also I believe Rocky had clauses inserted against Canelo if my memory is correct.

Yeah even if Callum takes his head off they'd probably still give a decision to Canelo's widow.

Needs to get it done inside the distance to have a chance.  Does Callum win a shootout though?

Callum is a beast. This will not be easy for Canelo at all

As lusty said no matter how talented you are as you keep going up in weight classes the guy's get bigger and can withstand your attacks and come forward. I make Canelo a big favourite but if Callum comes in with his head screwed on and a game plan to match then he could win. BUT he needs a Ko as no way he get's a decision in the U.S.

Imagine if it was at Anfield though and no covid? I'd made sure I got tickets for that.  :D

Canelo will have so many clauses inserted, Callum will come in looking like a Featherweight.



Really looking forward to that, good look to Callum!

Bloody hell thats a tight turnaround time, typical Canelo tactic. Hope Callum has been training already. Should be a good fight.

Will be interesting to see how Canelo deals with his size. I am sure he will find away.

I imagine it will be finished with body shots.

Always felt GGG was robbed by Canelo, so would be wary of it going to points

Tried to double check and it seems so, cos they've got the AJ fight listed as DAZN/SBO and the Canelo fight is just DAZN https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/boxing-schedule-2020-fight-dates-tv-channel-and-live-stream-for-confirmed-cards/1l3zwnho1gotu17qp8l44fmww9

That's DAZN elsewhere though, this is DAZN UK launching. Campbell Garcia will be on it too (and not sky) whenever they re-arrange that for, talk of boxing day which would be nice.

I have it 60/40 in ginger's favour if this actually takes place at 168. Smith is the epitome of a fighter who works to the level of what is in front of him. This is his opportunity to turn a solid career into a great one. Winning this puts him in British fighting folklore.

He's fighting Canelo, most probably in Vegas or Dallas. He'll need a KO just to win by split decision.

If he does the unlikely surely he can try and demand the rematch is here? Not that Canelo would fancy leaving Vegas

Would be good to see Callum win but I have a feeling he’ll get knocked out. Canelo is an absolutely awesome fighter. If Smith goes the distance he’ll have done well, but can see Canelo ripping him a new one big time and stopping him.

Dubois v Joyce and AJ v Pulev are being held at what looks like a wedding hall. I suppose no need to have it at the o2 but what a weird setting.

Also never knew Joyce is 12 years older than Dubois! Always thought he was a young prospect. Can't see him becoming a world class fighter, he's started far too late in the game.

Benn is fast and throws lots of punches I can’t help but think he is too reckless and a step up in level he will get picked off.

Oh yeah, he'd stand no chance against Spence or Crawford right now but he's far the better fighter here
