Canelo Accidentally Injures Callum Smith's Left Arm – Callum Smith has not yet accepted the fact of losing after accusing Saul Canelo Alvarez of intentionally injuring his left arm in a super middleweight fight. Smith had to give up his WBA super middleweight championship belt to Canelo after suffering a unanimous decision defeat to the four-weight world champion at Texas' Aladome Stadium.

After the fight, boxing fans witnessed Smith experiencing large swelling in his left arm. The wound appeared to be caused by the 30 year old player taking several right hooks. He views Canelo's game strategy as targeting his left arm, explaining to Boxing Social: “That was deliberate. I knew from that first round.

According to The Athletic, the bulge on Smith's left arm is the result of a tricep injury – which will require surgery. "I said to Joe (Gallagher) in the first round, 'He's aiming for my arm.' Every right hook he got off, he would butcher my arm.'And then I think I said to Joe in round four or something, 'My arm is chronic."

He added: “It's like taking my left hand, which is called my greatest punch. And what an idea on their behalf, it was a success.” “In the twelfth round, he saw the bruise and laughed and asked, 'Does it hurt?' It's an experience in his name. It really was a tool that was probably my greatest opportunity.”

Although Smith was frustrated with his inability to utilize his unique punch, he made it clear the fight didn't go his way if he wasn't injured." He said: "That's not a fact. If I had two hands as far as fighting, would I win the battle? Probably not. He was a little too kind to me that night. ”
