In this video interview with Fight Hub TV, Liam Smith reflects on his loss to Jaime Munguia and rates him as a fighter who could potentially get matched up against Canelo Alvarez. Check out what he had to say...
Smith on how he thought the fight against Munguia went for him:
“It was a good fight until, kind of, the knockdown. Regardless I wasn’t getting a decision no matter what I done, you can tell by the looks of it. I think two judges gave me one round — you know, I’m sure you know I won more than one round in that fight. But all in all it was a good fight. He’s a good fighter in parts, he’s a naive fighter in other parts.”
On if Munguia presented anything he wasn’t expecting in the ring:
“Not really, no. No, I knew he was gonna come like that. He was very clumsy in parts where I think — I don’t wanna downgrade him because he won and he did win regardless of the scorecards which I’m complaining about...still the right winner won. I don’t wanna disrespect him a little bit but he’s not ready for Canelo or anyone like that, not a chance!”
On how he would rate Munguia’s power:
“He hits fairly hard, but, again, he doesn’t hit as hard as Canelo, no.”
On what he wants to do next in his career:
“I just got to try and stay more active obviously. Pulling out of the Sadam Ali fight killed me as well. I haven’t fought since November. Jaime Munguia has had four fights in 2018...I just need to try and stay a little bit more active, hopefully get no injuries...”
