‘I Am Devastated’ – Callum Smith Opens up on Loss to Canelo Alvarez

Despite his best efforts and size advantage, Callum Smith failed to defend his WBA strap against the P4P king Canelo Alvarez tonight.

The entire Alamodome Stadium saw the Brit being beaten up by Alvarez as the fight went the distance. Although ‘Mundo’ had his moments, they were pretty small before the mighty Alvarez. However, Callum Smith isn’t ready to make any excuses.

Following his maiden professional loss in his twenty-eighth fight, the Liverpudlian hailed Canelo Alvarez as the better man. That said, he envisions to go back and continue the grind in reclaiming the top spot.

‘Mundo’ had a dream to beat Alvarez and avenge his brother Liam Smith’s loss from 2016. Although he delivered to the extreme, it couldn’t get him the win. He was vexed after the fight, but sportingly accepted the outcome without any justifications.

Aft the post-fight interview, he said, “I am devastated…I come here to win, it wasn’t my night, few little things in it. It’s not even good tonight, fair play to him (Canelo).”

He added, “Yeah, no excuses. I will go and wait, how I feel. It’s dominance at 168, I used to be. But yeah, no excuses.”

How did Canelo Alvarez beat Callum Smith?

Through sheer technique and consistency, Alvarez outshone his Brit adversary. But, ‘Mundo’ might not know where he went wrong. According to him, Alvarez is smart and a clever puncher. Thus, it’s tough to face him.

The former WBA champion said, “He (Canelo) was the better man tonight.”

Canelo Alvarez has now got his hands on the WBA and WBC super-middleweight belts. This has opened the door to some possible thrillers come 2021.
