He still wanted to get out and fight as fighters always do after a tough training camp, but he was never going to get an elite level replacement on such short notice. As they’re going to want a full training camp to fight someone like Okolie. I’ve met Okolie at an event he was actually really great with me and hundreds of other fans. Took a lot of time for us all. Not related to Okolie but there can’t be a nicer fighter than Joshua Buatsi. Phenomenally brutal in the ring but outside seems like a proper gent Quote

The Artful Dodger Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 Excited for Canelo v Smith now. The usual height different pictures going round, shows just how phenomenal Canelo is. Stepping up to much bigger men and beating them. I think Smith at his best can do it though, anything less and he’s done. Quote
LFCMike Posted December 19, 2020 Posted December 19, 2020 Would love Smith to win, just don't see it though Quote
LFCMike Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 It was obvious pretty early that Smith couldn't hurt Canelo. Smith took a lot of punishment there and did well to see it through to the end really. Quote
MUFC Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 How fucking good is Canelo? Every punch he throws is a power punch, including the jabs. Canelo’s defense is also amazing - subtle head and foot movement and moving with the punches that hit him. Then to top it off, he’s got a granite chin and impressive stamina and fights on his front foot! I would have Canelo as the P4P#1 if he wasn’t a drugs cheat. Credit to Smith for staying on his feet but an amazing performance by Canelo for the win. The only boxer that could beat Canelo at or below 175lbs is Beterbiev. Caleb Plant could give him a good fight but I feel will come up short. #SweetScience 2 Quote
Danny Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 Canelo walked that didn’t he? Shame Smith had nothing on him last night, I do think there’s a better performance in Smith than what he showed last night but clearly even he feels he’s not good enough at this weight anymore. With that said I’m not sure Smith does much better in a rematch, Canelo won fairly easily without really having to fight at his best, but Canelo is clearly P4P#1. Fair play to Smith for lasting the fight though, chin on him. Quote
Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted December 23, 2020 Subscriber Posted December 23, 2020 Too easy for Canelo. When I watched it at the time I was saying it was closer than the cards suggested and bla bla... but it wasn’t to be fair after re watching back again. It was far too easy for Canelo. Canelo linking up with Eddie Hearn hopefully means we may see a fight with BJS. I think Saunders style will be very interesting and chess match style fight. Canelk went up to Hearn after the fight and said thats 3, who next. On about fighters from his stable. Quote

I just struggled to give Smith a round. His best round was the 8th or 9th, can't remember which, but I think Canelo still won the round. I agree that Saunders is an interesting fight. Just no way he wins a decision against Canelo though over there Quote
UNORTHODOX Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 Callum always struggles with smaller opponents, Im a big fan of his but there’s no way he won that Ryder fight. Struggled badly in that fight then gets thrown straight in with Canelo. But there’s no denying Canelo will go down as an all time great and we are lucky to witness this guy in his prime. Quote

Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted January 16, 2021 Subscriber Posted January 16, 2021 The best stable in the sport and the best promotor in the sport announce how they’re kicking off 2021 in the UK. I also think Hearn and Canelo are planning a couple of fights. Yildrim in Feb then hopefully Billy Joe Saunders in May. Quote
LFCMike Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 Yildrim? The one who got stopped by Eubank Jr? What a waste of time that would be Quote

What a waste of time that would be I know but that’s Canelo’s plan unfortunately. I don’t really want to see the GGG Trilogy to be honest. I’d hate Canelo to win convincingly now that GGG is old and probably past it. I stand by GGG winning the first. Would really love to see BJS as the next test for Canelo. So hopefully it happens in May. 1 Quote
Danny Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) I’d like to see GGG v Canelo even though the trilogy has been ruined by poor officiating, there was absolutely no way GGG didn’t win the first fight and its left a bitter taste in a lot of people’s mouths tbh, and as much as I don’t actually dislike Canelo. He seems decent enough as a person, reps Mexico, always speaks Spanish, a great fighter that’s entertaining to watch. But those GGG fights were legacy fights and the officiating had completely padded his reputation as a pound for pound great, especially now GGG doesn’t have age on his side. Canelo will fight him when he’s a bit older and slower and try and claim the win from that but being honest the whole thing has been bullshit Edited January 17, 2021 by Danny Quote
Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted January 21, 2021 Subscriber Posted January 21, 2021 Just like I said This fight isn’t the most exciting but it’s mandatory and it’s a really fast turnaround since the Smith fight. Then he will end up fighting around Cinco De Mayo, hopefully against Billy Joe!! Quote
Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted February 1, 2021 Subscriber Posted February 1, 2021 So once Canelo has beat his mandatory. Hearn has made Canelo vs Billy Joe and it is all but confirmed. Come on BJS! Quote

You ever heard of them @Carnivore Chris ? Watch the recent Panorama episode mate, up your street. It’s mainly the rise of MTK(formerly) MGM that was founded alongside Matthew Macklin that has enabled Kinahan to rise in boxing. Billy Joe has publicly defended him. And he was a massive part of Tyson Fury returning. Crazy stuff. Quote
