one sentence to sum up the fight is, wtf is canelo made up of, he is allowing smith to hit him and he doesn't move a little especially the head shots againsts the ropes.
It was a mismatch from the beginning, until canelo started to i don't know let him hit him or just rest alot and therefore be exposed to getting hit, but liam smith is very slow as I have seen alot of boxers, they are planning and getting close before they execute, same with smith he was planning and doing nothing and coming close to an extent their gloves touched while in defence and he is still thinking and then executes he is lucky canelo is not attacking while he is thinking. It was a bad match.
I never oscar de la hoya well and canelo was my favourite fighter until he started avoiding ggg even after bragging about his mexican heritages.
but dela hoya is a sneaky evil person, before a fight he talks up about the opponent, how he is strong, undefeated; same with amir khan, his fast, but then after the fight he is like 'canelo thrashed those people like easy work, he made pros look like nothing lol, he brings them up so as to exaggerate canelo's toughness in the ring when in reality he has been giving canelo, blown up welterweights and weak fighters to beat just for his reputation.
I like max kellerman's interview after the fight, lol savage attacking the promoter as it is. but the canelo fans, something wrong with them, max said about ducking ggg and canelo responded ironically 'i fear no one' and the whole crowd goes wild, seriously lmao.
but I enjoyed canelo's skills, snap in punches and combo, upper cut and compared to liam's punches which lacked snap, comfortable, his punches were a lot of effort, some of his punches looked real weak.
but in terms of the fight, the only exciting part was canelo fighting and going reall aggresive especially that body punch which knocked him, ouch looked painful.
