2. Smith Is a Hungry & Undefeated Underdog
Liam “Beefy” Smith is no slouch. He is the current junior middleweight champion and at a record of 23-0 he is also undefeated. More importantly, Smith is aware of the importance of this shot, at an open workout he told us “I’ve got the ability to out box him, and put him in his place. Just because the writers and the boxing critics label me as the underdog isn’t my motivation – my family and their support is the only one I need. With this opportunity, I’m hoping for bigger and better fights to come my way.” Bottom line, sounds like Smith is hungry and wants to make a name for himself. What better way to do it than beat Canelo? That can be dangerous.
