4. Canelo Is Coming Down in Weight
Many may not believe this is a big deal, but Canelo is coming down from middleweight for the Smith fight. Sure, the Cotto and Kahn fights were at catch-weights, so it’s not as significant drop. Yet, Canelo has been know to come in significantly heavier on fight night. Having to cut a few extra pounds can drain a fighter and effect stamina. While we don’t believe it will be a deciding factor in this fight. It is something to be mindful of.
