Liam Smith: Brit eyeing showdown with Kell Brook

We are ready for him and he doesn’t want to accept.

It is also Mexican Independence Day on Friday, strengthening the feeling a platform has been built for Alvarez to excel upon.

“When you strip him down and forget he is one of the biggest names in boxing, he is a very good fighter but he isn’t out of this world”. I wonder why they selected Smith?

The two powerful punchers have been on a collision course since November, when Alvarez won his title from Miguel Cotto.

“If I deserve to win the fight, give me it, if I don’t, don’t give me it. I’m the champion, even though I am the B-side”.

“I’m not in a situation where I have nothing to lose”. If the money is right for both of us, let’s do it, if not, we’ll go our separate ways and try and get a world title. I want to fight the best.

“My mind is just set on Canelo. We come to bring the pain”.

There was success for Smith in the fourth and the fifth when he pinned Alvarez to the ropes and clipped him with two big right hands.

With most observers locked into a future match-up between the current Ring Magazine Middleweight champion and the recognized best 160 pounder in the world, Gennady Golovkin, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez is now listed as a 12 to 1 (-1225) betting favorite on most Sports Books, while Liam Smith is registered as an nearly whopping 9 to 1 (+875) betting underdog.

“I’m 26 years old, I’ve never ducked nobody”, Alvarez told TMZ Sports of a potential fight with Golovkin, who’s renowned for his knockout prowess.

“I haven’t talked to him about the fight because what he can do well, I can do well, and what Amir failed to do in the ring, I will not fail to do.”

I needed better timing, my timing was off tonight.”.

“I am going to show everyone that I can fight at a high magnitude and hopefully I’ll gain some more fans once I beat Canelo”. “I am very disappointed”.
