1. Did Canelo Alvarez and Liam Smith Make Weight?
Yes! Both fighters came in at exactly 154 pounds.
Just like last weeks matchup between Gennady Golovkin and Kell Brook, there were weigh-in day rumblings that Canelo would not make weight.
Ordinarily I’d say Smith shouldn’t work the body as much against #Canelo, but if Canelo is drained from making weight, might work. @Boxing

Though Canelo did look a little hungry, his handlers say he had no problem making the weight.
