Prediction
This match, just like the GGG match Friday night should be an easy victory for the headliner. Canelo Alvarez should see an easy victory against Callum Smith, although he’s the smaller of the two. Smith is lengthy, but his power cannot match Canelo’s and it could put him in some early trouble. If Smith can take it the distance, kudos to him. Alvarez should get the job done by either KO or TKO by the 7th or 8th round.
