GBP are trying to match him with Canelo.. I mean common what chance does he have against the bigger stronger much more skilled and experienced Canelo hope he Avoids it since he’s so green compared to a guy with more than double the fights it can ruin him as a fighter if he goes up at this eary stage of his career.
I think that the announcers were talking about Canello’s brother. He would be a different kettle of fish to Canello, but even so If he jumps to far ahead he will easy meat for more experienced ring crafty professionals.
Entertaining but a very short fight from two good boxers. However, from the technical point of view, Liam is very solid and shown to be much better than his rival connecting few but excellent liver punches defining the fight on his favor with one of them quite easy. He is a boxer that deserves to be watched in action.
