1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,960 Speaker 1: It's in the books. It's can allow for as a 2 00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 1: unanimous decision over Callum Smith on Saturday night in San 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: Antonio to capture a pair of super middleweight world titles. 4 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: My name is Brian Campbell, BC, the Big beij One, 5 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: all those good names, one half of your Morning Combat 6 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: tri weekly duo along with Luke Thomas.

We let it all hang out.

So you know where we're at here. 13 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: Let's put our heads together back inside the Alamodome. Here. Look, 14 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: there's a great quote. I quote Larry Merchant a lot 15 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: because he's the best to ever do it as a 16 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: boxing color commentary analyst. And you know what he said 17 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: about Manny Pacquiao after he shot the world by stopping 18 00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,959 Speaker 1: Miguel Coto to win the Weal to weeight world time. 19 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: He said, many Pacio was great. We knew that coming in. 20 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: He's better than we thought. He was. And that's really 21 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: the best thing I can say right now about this fight. 22 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 1: Canela Alvers was the pound for pound king coming in. 23 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: He was your recognized middleweight champion. He had won a 24 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: belt at one seventy five last year before punting that 25 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: away and vacating it. He was already the best in 26 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: the world. Yet somehow, in really his first real test 27 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,199 Speaker 1: at super middleweight against the unbeaten WBA champion Callum Smith, 28 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: the recognized sort of number one guy at the moment 29 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 1: in that division, Canelo was even better than we thought 30 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: he was. This was an absolutely dominant performance from start 31 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: to finish. You want to call it boring, fine, go ahead. 32 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: I was enthralled just from the absolute mastery of what 33 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: Canela was able to do. Seven hin inch height disadvantage 34 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: and Calum Smith, I mean, let's give him credit on paper, 35 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: He's decently quick. He's got good not great, but good power. 36 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: We've seen him knock out George Groves, hasan endam. I mean, 37 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: he can put some punches together, and Canelo needed what 38 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: two rounds to figure him out, walk through him like 39 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: a knife through butter got inside at will and Calm 40 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: Smith spent basically the entire fight with his back against 41 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: the ropes, which is absolutely the worst spot you want 42 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: to be against. A hard puncher who's smaller than you, 43 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: has a speed advantage, is more accurate than you, and 44 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: as we sort of found out as this fight went on, 45 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: it's just leap years ahead in terms of ring IQ 46 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: and really, you know, ahead of almost anyone he gets 47 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: in the ring with. And Canelo Alvarez already has a 48 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: great resume. I give him credit for always daring to 49 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: be great for the most part, and this was a 50 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: little bit of a dare to be great one. He 51 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: was a heavy betting favorite Canelo against Calvin Smith, as 52 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: he should have been, but again he's taking on a 53 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: bigger man, a guy who's unbeaten, a tough customer, and 54 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: Canelo he pissed all over him. I mean that's like, 55 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: straight up. He made Callum Smith look like Rocky Fielding. 56 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: And while he didn't get him out of there, although 57 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: he had him hurt multiple times, and toward the tail 58 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: end of that fight I predicted an eleventh round TKO 59 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 1: I looked like it would happen. But let's at least 60 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: give Smith credit for toughing it out, even though he 61 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: had seemed to blow up his left arm there and 62 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: just was not in the fight. This was all Canelo 63 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: and his ability to have such a mastery of footwork 64 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: speed to be able to carry his power up and 65 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: weight like this. I mean, look at this, like we 66 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: call people pound for palm greats when we try to 67 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: compare their skill, right, Okay, if featherweight, it's never going 68 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: to fight a middleweight, but we can compare them in 69 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: this mythical sort of ranking of who's the best in 70 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: the world. But there's a literal sense of pound for 71 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: pound Canelo. Each weight class he goes to, whether it's middleweight, 72 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: junior middleweight, light heavyweight, super middleweight, tonight, he's the same fighter. 73 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: And the fact that at one sixty eight and one 74 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: seventy five through now three fights, he's proving that he 75 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: can walk down these bigger guys with ease and be 76 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: the bigger man and fight like the bigger man is 77 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: really what I'm trying to say, and be the bigger puncher. 78 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: I mean, he was in there against Circuit Covilev in 79 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, who's one of this era's best punchers and 80 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: knockout guys. Yet he completely dissuade kovi Lev from ever 81 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: throwing his money punch that right cross because the speed, 82 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: in the accuracy on Canelo's combos, I'm sorry, and his 83 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: countershots was so great that even covi Lev knew, I'm 84 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: gonna get knocked out early. I'm gonna get caught with 85 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: something clean because this this middleweight Canelo, when he moves up, 86 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: he's got the full package. Everything's there. And because of 87 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: the speed, the accuracy, and how built he is, how strong, 88 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: he's able to land powerful shots. He was the bully 89 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: in this fight. He was the puncher, but he was 90 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: also the boxer when you needed to. So he's backing 91 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: up Calm Smith at will, and he's going to the 92 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: body and he's splitting the guard with right hands, and 93 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: he completely took away Calm Smith jab. So when we 94 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: talked about the scouting report, here Calm Smith a seven 95 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: inch height advantage, right, ridiculous reach advantage. The jab was 96 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: going to be key to keep Canelo away and keep 97 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 1: him from getting inside. Absolutely all right, obvious, taller fighter, 98 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 1: you got a jab, you got to keep him away. 99 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: But I was arguing that the right hand was going 100 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: to be just as important because if he did not 101 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: gain Canelo's respect early on. It was going to be 102 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 1: a long night for him. I never expected it to 103 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: be this easy. I expected Calvin Smith to kind of 104 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: split the first six rounds, be in the fight, work 105 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 1: his jab, looked his set up, and look, he's a 106 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,919 Speaker 1: little bit. He's not a stiff. He looked like a 107 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: stiff on this night. Straight up. Sorry, Calm Smith. Canelo 108 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: made him look like a stiff. Floyd made Canelo look 109 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: like a stiff in twenty thirteen. Okay, it happens. There's 110 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: levels to this. Canelo just so happens now to be 111 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: at this super level where he made Calum look like 112 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: a stiff. Even though Callum can do some things. He's 113 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: got good combination punching, he's got good uppercuts, he can 114 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 1: do that, he wasn't able to get any of that off. 115 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: Canelo not only swallowed it up, but his upper half 116 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: movement has always been great. Look back at the Laura 117 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 1: and Trout fights. How Canelo, who does not have great 118 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: foot speed, can certainly pivot, swivel and just avoid shots. 119 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: His ability to roll with the punches here against Callum 120 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: Smith was incredible, and he almost didn't need to use 121 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: it because early on the first half of the fight, 122 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: I was very disappointed in Calm Smith. I get why 123 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: he was as passive as he was, but I felt 124 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: like that right hand I was arguing how important it 125 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: was supposed to be. If he wasn't going to be 126 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: able to land it in the first half of this fight, 127 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: he's gonna have no chance to win. You gotta hurt Canelo. 128 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: You got to give him like Gannati Gilofkin did right. 129 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: You got to keep him away and give him reason 130 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: not to walk you down. Gannatti did it with that 131 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: very hard jab and the good accuracy, and even with 132 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: that in their second fight, Canelo rallied and walked him down, 133 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: and that's why we had that great finish to that fight. 134 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: Calvin Smith had had really no chance in this area 135 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 1: and his ability to not be able to overcome the 136 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: speed was one thing, but Canelo warped his mind. Canello 137 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: completely disarmed him, and that's where it was disappointing. Callum 138 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: was never willing to risk it all and risk a 139 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 1: knockout loss in order to have a chance to hurt 140 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: Canelo and try to knock him out. And I can 141 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: sit here and rip him and call it a you know, 142 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 1: a flaw and all that. But having seen the Covid 143 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: left fight, having seen Canelo fight for years, I know 144 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: what happened. I know what he can do. And you 145 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: saw what happened when you match together Canelo's speed and 146 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: IQ and technique and footwork and balance and all that 147 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: with Calums. It was two different fighters in there. And 148 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: this is a testament to who Canelo has become. He's 149 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: only thirty years old and he's already got a killer 150 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: Hall of fame resume. This is already his era, right 151 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: maye the Pacquiel took the baton from Oscar, it's now 152 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: the Canelo era. It's been the Canelo era. And the 153 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: fact that he's only thirty and only getting better is 154 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: it is a true testament to who he is. Like 155 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: a young many Pakio, Canelo turned pro at some you know, 156 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: fifteen or sixteen years old whatever, some stupid young age, 157 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: and yet is one of these special all time creatures 158 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: who you know, has warded off any of the damage 159 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: that slows people down. Is an incredibly hard worker, can 160 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: rise up and down and wait and still be the 161 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: same guy, and can show you that he seems to 162 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: be on his way to some incredible longevity that Canelo. 163 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: I'm sorry that Manny is still operating under and Floyd 164 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: also as a as a boxing life. I mean, this 165 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: is a special guy. And believe me, many times along 166 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: the way, whether we're talking about the looks, thinking he's 167 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: just some mattin a idol, not a real fighter, or 168 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: we're talking about the matchmaking, because it was a little 169 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: bit of points right he waited out triple G originally 170 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: a couple of years. There was points where you can 171 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: pick at it. But overall, I mean, even the tainted 172 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: beef slip up. Canelo may have a couple slips here 173 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: and there, but he's overcompensated and covered them up by 174 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: being what the fighter of an era should be. And 175 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 1: I'm not some Canelo superfan. I've picked against him and 176 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: been upset a little bit about him getting the benefit 177 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: of the doubt in close fights. I scored the Trout 178 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: fight against him, which not a ton of people did. 179 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: I scored the Laura fight against him. I scored both 180 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: Triple G fights against him. Yet I do also get 181 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 1: aside from being a superstar, y Canel does get the 182 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: advantage to certain judges. He lands convincing, hard, clean shots. 183 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: He's very efficient and as you saw tonight, he can 184 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: completely take over and dominate a fight, and going to 185 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: that finish he was still looking for a knockout in 186 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: the twelfth round. What more could you want out of 187 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,839 Speaker 1: this guy? It's incredible who he has become at one 188 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: sixty eight, where he retains the speed and elusiveness of 189 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: junior middleweight and middleweight, yet it's just so much larger. 190 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: Where at junior middleweight at one fifty four, you know 191 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: he could have problems with a guy like Laura, who 192 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: is quicker and more technical than him, But that gap 193 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 1: now at sixty eight between him and the bigger men, 194 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: and as we saw against him in covil At for example, 195 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: he's way too quick. Normally, when somebody moves up to 196 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: a highway class like this, they may have that quickness 197 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: of that technical advantage, but what they lose is the 198 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: power difference. The fact that Canelo's able to carry this 199 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: power up and that he's taken his small frame and 200 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: just bulk that thing out and his neck muscles are bulging. 201 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: I mean, he's absolute a complete specimen and this is 202 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: his time and no Calum Smith will not go down 203 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: as the most difficult challenge on his resume. But it 204 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: could have been a sneaky challenge. It could have been 205 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: a close one that went to the cards. He could 206 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: have been in a little bit of a firefight. None 207 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: of that happened. None of that even remotely close happened. 208 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:18,839 Speaker 1: How dominant was this? You want to check out the 209 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: copy box numbers with me super quick. They didn't. I 210 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:23,959 Speaker 1: don't think they got enough of a trumpet playing on 211 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: the broadcast. This don't had a rough broadcast. Let's be 212 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 1: straight up with this, Okay, Frian Kenny had a rough 213 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: night arguing with a lot of people. That Chris Mannix 214 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 1: Demetrius Andreid portion after the fight was just mind blowing 215 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: it in its ridiculousness. But let's give Scanelo credit. He 216 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: outlanded Smith two hundred and nine to ninety seven and 217 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: landed punches. He landed forty three percent of his punches overall, 218 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: which is ridiculous. He landed fifty seven percent of his 219 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: power shots. He's incredible. I think of performance like this 220 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,199 Speaker 1: really shows you that he truly is the pump for 221 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: punk King. Respect to the Monster Naola a new A 222 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: out of Japan. Respect to Crawford and Spence. They're in 223 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: that discussion too. Lomon Tenko fell out of that discussion. 224 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: We love the guys like Usik and Tao Femo and 225 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: Pak Yeah, who are in the second half of that 226 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: top ten pound for pound. But pol Will showed you 227 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: what he's got there. He showed you the goods and 228 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: the fact that he wants to continue to push now 229 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: as a promotional and network free agent and just keep 230 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: adding belts, saying what he said, we're coming for more. 231 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: He said that multiple times in the interview afterwards. I 232 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 1: want to see how far he can go, and I 233 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: don't think we need a third Triple G fight. We're 234 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: going to get into that a lot more on Morning 235 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: Combat on Monday, because Triple G fought the night before. 236 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: But uh, you know, I'd love to see him against 237 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: a lot of guys who either have belts right now 238 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 1: at one sixty eight or have had belts and got 239 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: a couple of surprises who I want to see him 240 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: against two. But I'll save that for MK on Monday. 241 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: For now, let's just put the bow on this fight. 242 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,959 Speaker 1: It's just another time to stop sort of look at 243 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: what he has accomplished in this fight. Dominant overall. Canela 244 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: is one loss. Oh there's caveats there, because he got 245 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: humbled by Floyd. He was twenty three. He came in 246 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: with an awful game plan. He deserved to lose that, 247 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 1: but he learned a lot from it. Does he have 248 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: other losses? I think I've seen it before. I mean 249 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: the Laura and Trout ones or flip a coin. In 250 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 1: my mind, the second Triple G fight was very close. 251 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: First one I thought he lost. But even if he 252 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: had lost that one and avenged it in the rematch, 253 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: I never thought he would be this good when you 254 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: look back at different stops, right, he was like a 255 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: golden boy type guy in the beginning under Oscar when 256 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: he's fighting Codo's brother and Shane Moseley. I never thought 257 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: that Canelo would be able to be the complete package because, 258 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: don't forget, there was that point where he was almost 259 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: getting criticized by the true Mexican fans and his junior 260 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: middleweight title run because he wasn't Chavez. You know, he 261 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: didn't walk you down. He was more of a of 262 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: a thinking man. More for Barquas. Now Marquez, especially at 263 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: one point thirty five and above, became a killer but 264 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: he was a crafty counterpuncher. And for him to put 265 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 1: the whole package together the way he has and to 266 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: be able to package all of these wins where it's 267 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:19,559 Speaker 1: the the Laris, the Trouts, Miguel Coto glove can I mean, 268 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: like it's it's pretty special. So I hope he gets uh. 269 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: I hope he gets what he deserves in terms of 270 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: the respect he certainly has, the money he certainly has. 271 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: You know, he's operating the right way. He's being the 272 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: guy at this point that you want as the face 273 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: of the sport. So yeah, I'm bad one because I'm humbled. 274 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: It was a great win for Canelo on this night. 275 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna fight at one sixty again. 276 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 1: I think he made that comment in the post fight 277 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: interview afterwards that it's fun to not kill yourself and 278 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: cut down to wait and for him to be able 279 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: to have that ability to be this great at super middleweight, 280 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,319 Speaker 1: and it's not easy from here. There are some fights. 281 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: You know, Caleb Plants got some quick hands. I want 282 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: to see that. Benavidez, David Benavidez throws punches and bunches. 283 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: He's a big dude. I want to see that. But 284 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: I thought Calum Smith would have provided something more. And 285 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: you know, I took a little bit of a shot 286 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: at Callum Smith, but overall, Canela made him do that. 287 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: Canela made them dance his dance, the dance he wanted to. 288 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: And for a former junior middleweight champion to go all 289 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: the way up to sixty eight here and be the 290 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: bigger man and walk these guys down unless he unless 291 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: he pisses motor oil, right, unless he's just a full 292 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: on taking the designer cream and clear, we're looking at 293 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: something special, a man for all seasons, Big Red.
