Naoya Inoue (Japan) vs Michael Dasmarinas (Philippines) | KNOCKOUT, BOXING fight, HD, 60 fps

And we have been talking about the possibility of this fight, and Chris, you talked to Errol Spence, and hey, what about Terence Crawford? Champ, and you see the crazy full 6'3", and a 5'8". It is a big difference. Sensed weakness when he fought Rocky Fielding. Callum Smith, to his credit, also in this weight class. Canelo was this pace against Sergey. To see if he is accepting of that pace. And I would think Sergey Callum Smith needs to build, even just landing a shot, okay, to be able to touch him. He already touched him way in. He's real calm, he wants to take it. Callum knows that, that's why he's not committing to that strong jab that he has, but he is committing. Big unification. Champion versus his very experienced. He is the world. There is something to going in and fighting Igg event. It can sap jab. Uppercut short. Trying to measure him, and there's a... Their fight last year. Serg over the, through 500, Canelo was that good defensively. Canelo able to find range with that jab now. A better first round than he did against John Ryder, his land shots. He knows he can knock that tonight, and survive. Long jab, final 10 seconds of the opening round. Landed more, maybe won that round. Success for Callum Smith in triangle, in this fight. It was slow, but dangerous. I mean, Canelo was inching his way in, and Callum knew that, so it was a smart round by Callum Smith. We hear Eddie Reynoso say, watch out, that left hook is exactly what George Groves. It's one of Callum Smith's. Brian Kenney, Sergio Moran, Chris Ickes here, ringside Hall of Fame. Hall of Famer Joe Calzaghe back in London. First round, but Canelo Alvarez able to land a bit. And Callum Smith, we getting through it. Show a little something. You're shaking your head, Chris, you disagree? It was close, but, you know, like the man coming forward, you know, a couple of... Chris, you know I like Canelo in almost every round. Brian, we've got to get to round before you start questioning my score. It is. Right away, I'm just surprised. At least it points out that judge's ringside. Good for Callum Smith. A judge ringside could reason to Callum Smith. That's good to know. Again, Callum Smith does his height, but he does not use that dick to keep his man at his ear tonight. Long jab there by his back. It's very careful, very cost with the right hand. I like that Smith, he's alternating in height, so he wants to smart. Smith able to peer deeply in front of him. Right on the belt line. It's back to head of Callum Smith, and Canelo goes for his block. Smith, for being, having such a long reach for short right hand. That was a good jab by... That first round, according to copy box, thought that would favor the 6'3 fighter in the ring, and not the 5'8 fighter. Smith, Callum Smith could be in for just off the side of the head. You cannot let Canelo Alvarez go and wing shots at you. And that's round two. But you're doing good with the jab. Looked out, clasped early. He came on down in the 8th, liver shot in the 9th, and there by Canelo. But Callum Smith is not, and he has done well for his two rounds. Eyes off Canelo, right there. Look, he's kind of coming into the round, he's right there on Smith. Sergio, there was, there is shots. Let's go to London, and the former suit champion of the world, Joe Calzag. Your thoughts on this fight so far? It's cagey couple of rounds to start with. Obviously, Canelo's trying to close that range for the big Smith. Needs to be more, deal with that jab, and it's a bit busier. Joe, thank you so much, champion. Eventually, UNIF titles beating Jeff Lacey, which, you know, some anti-UK buy-in by many U.S. fans, who figure, well, look, you did, felt well in incomes here. And Joe Calzaghi certainly proved it. Michael Kessler, Bernard Hopkins in that event tonight, again, against an international fighter in Canelo Alvarez, superstar from Mexico, Ups. He's letting him get into some rhythm, but I don't like, as Joe pointed out, the lactivity with the jab. If Canelo was going to smooth, you've got to keep throwing that jab out. You can't let him get that close range. Canelo trying to cut. It could be long and strong. It could be flick arms next to his head. Callum Smith doesn't want to quite engage. It would be, that would be disastrous. Canelo is just, he's not only short. Good jab there by Canelo. Can close in. Able to step right. Good defensive work by Canelo. Jab again. Sergio, he's closed now. He's been closing the gap and he's quiet. They're basically stepping on each other right now. This is where Canelo could explode. The Smith family is here. There is Canelo's mom, Ana. I don't know if you guys remember, fans began to, in the eighth round. Here you can see in that third round, Melo Alvarez started to close the gap, land with more ferocity and more, as we open up the fourth round. Well, the feint is one of Canelo's best attributes. Instead of baiting him with that, and Canelo hit him with that left hook. That was a nice shot, but Canelo comes back harder right now. Gets Callum Smith up on the ropes. Getting him in the point. Fall off balance. It's all fighters balance. But Callum Smith did not put out the stick and dance away. He needs to stand and he needs to trade and land combat against Canelo Alvarez. It's possible, but it's difficult. Tries with the body. Hard right hand by Canelo. It is something, when you look at him now, that body just looks different, Sergio, than when he was a, from Canelo with the hook, than when he was a champ at 154. Brings the power to this weight. Bulky and muscular, and it needs a single shot because both of these good counter punching. You see Canelo out Callum Smith. That Smith throw is outstanding defense and head movement. Punch out there to use as a blindering. Shades of a lot of punches in their fight. And a lot of punches with Canelo, but a lot more accurate. Canelo moving in on his man. To mark up the face of Callum's champion. Tries with the jab to the body and then the head. Nice, decent Sergio uppercut in this round. And now it looks like Smith is bending his knees even more, but not if he's standing right in front of Canelo. And land those banging to the body. We had five. Callum Smith doesn't hurt. Boy, after the next round he's going down, is what they're telling Canelo. Impatient, but also menacing. Did so in round three. We open up now. Round tries to establish himself in this. He needs to start winning rounds. This is going to be an important round for Callum Smith right here. He needs to get that respect. I agree with you completely, Sergio. You're right. And make him pay. Canelo is just moving in with him, coming back. Chris Mannix, we're going to go to your score. How about since then? Yeah, I thought Callum was more act-lighter in that first round, but since then it has been all Canelo Alvarez. They have been sharper. They have been harder. I tell you, that was beautiful head movement. You saw Callum Smith land an uppercut. He tries to cut again, and he tried to. And Canelo just got out of the lead. And Smith card right there from Chris Mannix. Last going to Canelo. And you can have it. Yeah, we've seen the movement when Canelo fought Jacobs. It was incredible head movement and defense in this round. And it's underrated, Sergio, because he doesn't look like a great defensive fighter, but look at that fantastic defensive fight. He's coming. Gareth Davies has every round so far. Alvarez, hard body shot. You've got a lot of English rooting for Callum Smith. Demetrius Andrade, who has a middleweight well on our broadcast team. Demetrius, what do you think? Callum Smith definitely didn't come here to win. Job establishing the jab. He looks really good in there tonight. Smith needs a, I don't know, man. Game plan was to, you know, try to win the second half fight, but he's looking like... He's not looking to win? He's looking like he came here to win because at this point, I'm going to expect they haven't done anything to, you know, have him win. Thank you so much. I just wanted to make sure. That's a little harsh, but I know what he's saying. Put it in different words, but I agree with him. You came here to win. You've got to show that you've been in frustration in front of a big push. Joe Gallagher there in the corner, his trainer of the year a few years back. Callum Smith, I mean, that's beautiful right there. Normally, you roll with the shot like that, but to be so composed... So much time at the top, so they took this up style-wise. Maybe not the comes knocking. Chris, you have to end. This fight, he believes his... You are seeing a great fighter in action. Canelo dictating the pace, landing the... The gap in the first two rounds. Good right hand by Canelo when he comes down to the fight at distance in the first two rounds. ...to opponents, even to big guns. Even guys that keep their guns holstered, they're afraid to drop because these Canelo... exclusively. Joe Calzaghe in London, fellas. Yeah, but the fifth round was a before for Smith. You know, he started from combat, and he's holding his ground, fumbling combinations. He had a bit more success. He's trying again here, Joe, and this is a much bigger fight. He does. He backs Canelo, allows him to load up and... Great here. This is it. Back to you, guys. Thank you so much. Good to hear from the hall of view back in London. And there's Callum Smith, historically has a high... good copy box record for most jabs in one of his fights. He broke Glenn Coff, light heavyweight champion of the world, and so Smith is gonna have to do that. He lands a jab there on Canelo here in the sixth round. Yeah, Callum Smith not only has a record, a lot of jabs and a lot of jabs, along with Matty Golovkin. And more experienced. I think he's gonna have to dig deep. Final set, the sixth round. Callum Smith a bit more... in that round. Mo Angulo, Jose Zito Lopez, a past his prime Shane Wins that I just listed, Chris Mannix, Triple G, Daniel Jacobs, championship-level experience, was at 154 pounds. He has been all the way up to Golovkin, Cotto, Ruffini, these types of events. And he also knows what it's like, guys, the size of Callum Smith. You wonder if Callum Smith has the pop. Sergio, it doesn't look like he's got that. He probably, he can push Canelo back. This entire fight, we only see Canelo coming from Smith, has an imposing size, or he's cutting off the ring. No respect for Callum Smith. Also, Sergeant Pop there by Callum Smith. He tries with the hook by Callum Smith for the jab. Then when he blocked that right hand, that's a good uppercut, from Canelo, it drove him back. Whenever a fighter is so easily like Canelo, it's because there's a lack of respect, because nothing's coming back. Smith hasn't found the openings. He hasn't gotten respect from Canelo. Huh. And an even round. Only 10-10 rounds these days. I know, Commissioner, but on occasion, a judge may do that. But it's a shot right there. It is 10-point. If you start to do that on a regular basis, and Chris, you're scoring a lot, a few rounds, 10-10. You just have to make a choice. Throw his hands, and he... Now, it feels like an uppercut, big uppercuts and a knockout of pull-ups. Tonight, Gennady Golovkin landed his. Great weapon. No question. I think Davis, that great fighter. You're right, that's like bazooka. It's amazing. Long right hand by... Fight. You know what I'm saying? Well, he has the Canelo break. He makes him not... Ha! He has the timing. He knows how to block. They look better than this right now. Title. He caught George Grove with a hook in the 7th. On the same night that Anthony Joshua's, he knocked out Hassan Endam, but Groves and Endam are not Canelo. Doesn't look good for him here tonight. He was a counter right hand, and he was able to drop it with a catch. Both hands are dangerous, but he's not letting... To the body. So you knew which... 6-3 and 5-8. That was a body shot that he stopped Liamson. So, of course, he's going to the body and affected. We've seen this with Jacobs. He didn't throw enough punk in. Lead uppercut by Canelo and then a right. Provides such a tight package. And then when you throw a shot, if he's able to move... Counterpunching. It really... Even Chavez Jr., if you remember that, would make you want to not punch. Good combination there by Callum Smith. He gets more active throwing his hands. Power punch far. Nearly 2-1. Look at that percent. Percent of how a punch is landed. Just missed that right. He's comfortable. He is walking in. He is down. Callum Smith. Canelo gets a little lazy walking in. He's hit. Taking shots. He said, no, I'm going to keep walking in. Putting right hand. But they're popping on each other. Laying each other. And if they both do that, win that battle. Uppercut from... Smith is very game. Jab. Trying to... But it's an awful lot to do. Tries... Jab. Coming up short. Snapping jab. Waits to lose in range. Nice right hand by Smith and an uppercut. But Canelo beneath the hook. Beautiful weave. First two shots. He lands the third. Not here. Forward. Imposing his will on his side. Go with him. All right. He lands that left hook right here. But right here, two left hooks and the rest. Canelo rolls with these shots. And does his own. Putting one flush on the jaw. No trouble taking that shot. Round. It has been mostly Canelo Alvarez. Fires off and lands a right hand and then it's back. So Smith fighting back and now Canelo gets under the hook and goes to work. Uppercut landed. Now coming from the nose of Callum Smith. That uppercut has been the best punch for Canelo. Fighters can't land uppercuts all the fighters. That's not the case here. Smith firing back. Sergio, you brought this up earlier in your Jacobs. Canelo rolls big punches like he sees them. They still connect but he's able to land them all. That was a hard body shot and then a right hand. A lot of Mexican fighters do that. Chavez used to do that in slow motion and he's rolling with the power. Blood now pouring from his nose. He waves and now back up against the ropes for Smith. Hard right hand Smith is hurt. Buckled on the ropes. The ropes kept him up shots of the night. He fighters with his own combination. Fighting back with everything he has. Oh, the uppercut there and that was straight to the front of his face. He's physically imposing. Teeth inside. It's the uppercut. Callum Smith, the champion of the world is getting buffeted up. Uppercut respect. Final 30 seconds of the ninth round. Look at Smith going to drive the middleweight champion back. But you see just a little bit of give on Callum. Right hand. He's hurt. Cut landed. That body shot hurt Smith quite a bit. 20 seconds. Hard right is getting beaten down but he has it. Here we're going to see the smaller man bullying the bigger man against the ropes and it's the right uppercut that keeps landing. Callum Smith with his hands up. Steve Smoker, your thoughts as to... Almost. Not really. Really? Not really. He's got his wits about him. What are you laughing at? Tell him Steve. But if you sit on those ropes that state I'm with you and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Round 10 and you won. Have you guys thought yet about Callum Smith acting on... Were you at that point yet? No, no. It's a bad beating, Sergio. It's up to you. Callum Smith is hurt and that was a knockout. I don't think he was supposed to be knocked. I'll give you that. I hear you. No, I didn't think it was in the hard shots there from Canelo but I think we are where if you're in the corner of how long do we let this go if he's won maybe one, maybe two rounds here. Hard shots again. Sergio, I thought it was interesting. Callum... Canelo Alvarez for the first... We've seen him do a little dance like three years ago. I've never seen Canelo dance either. Smith was hurt by that shot to the body and then the uppercut straight up. Canelo just walking comfortably as well. Let's go to Joe Calzaghe. Joe, would you just stop in this fight? Yeah. Canelo is just struggling out doing his best here punches. He's getting back rolls the uppercuts, the hooks. It's a lot harder. Cody, thank you so much. Joe, I'm with you. It's a world title fight. Normally the thought is some rounds let him either go out like a champion fight one. There we go. And I don't think Cal under these shots. Canelo coming from the nose of Callum Smith. Final 50. Hard right hand. Mayok drops his hands low for a moment to suck. All right, the smaller man pushing the bigger man back. These shots are being blocked. Which will does Callum Smith have? Again, it's frequently said to say, OK, I'm done. But we're approaching 27-0 defending champion in this weight class most every round. We're now in the 11th round and Callum Smith is taking a beating. Yes. Withering away. Weakening. I don't see it in the fights. You've got to give a champion the benefit of the doubt. Firing back off the ropes, no question. Hard Canelo. Body shots his championship career. But Canelo Alvarez will hard at the superstar level for a reason. Better and better. Yeah, I mean, we're talking about the security chin he had going back to Jose Miguel Cotto when he got buckled. How this guy would stand up to big punches. Canelo making us look at that in round 10. Six. Just a huge disparity. Snapping off the jab. 50% of his shots as well. He's accurate. Not in his head. The total package. He's trying. Trying everything he can for an animal. Right hand. Buckled his knees. Another right hand after the hook. Smith fighting. That was borderline low. Maybe it was. Jab to the head. Left. Was that low? Got it? I didn't borderline, but it was devastating. Right on the belt line. So that's how you know it was good. He's old that place, Sergio. Right? Covering legal scoring area. But wow, it was a devastating shot. Been down, Brian. Never been dead. He's enduring here with Canelo, but you gotta give him a motivator to just finish this fight. Anna watching her son fight. And look, folks, Smith, you can see it in his face, but you know that the finish line is now in sight. That would be terrific. 12th championship of the world. Canelo Alvarez curb and punishing here tonight. And Canelo has bullied Smith the entire show. Canelo's going for it here. You can see hard right hand. Canelo answered with snapping jab from Canelo Alvarez to the face from Callum Smith. He fires back. He is landing some big, big shots. Smith is hanging in there. Even the body shots, too, and that's a lot of will and condition, and he's been able to stand up to it. That's a question. Trying to move in with the jab and get close. Smith able to get out of danger and make him miss that uppercut. Canelo winging shots throughout this fight. Hump from Canelo. Right hand oomph to fire back. Yeah, smiling at him because he tried to catch him with that. That's one of Callum Smith's best punchers coming a mile away. That is a nice try. That is not going to work. Approaching the final minute of this fight. You can't play footing right hand again, and a shot from Canelo trying to close the show. Can he finish with a knockout? I don't know, but Callum Smith trying to end this fight on his feet. Canelo has the 11th round knockout with Kovalev. That was, what, nine years ago? Final 30 seconds. Final half minute of being a world champion. Did everything you could in this fight, and the shutdown, he escaped. Canelo Alvarez is a feeling-out process, but Canelo, look at the head work, and then to the body, uppercuts working throughout this fight. The body shots and the uppercuts were the best thing that Canelo did. Just pressuring. By unanimous decision, Saúl.
