Canelo odds on favourite to beat Callum Smith

Canelo is leading at the bookies to beat Callum Smith

This Saturday, Mexican superstar Saul “Canelo” Álvarez (53-1-2, 36KOs) will challenge Liverpool’s Callum Smith (27-0, 19KOs).

While 30-year-old Smith is the reigning WBA super-middleweight champion and undefeated in eight years as a pro, Parimatch has predicted once-beaten Canelo, also 30, is predicted to win the mega-match.

The four-weight ruler and pound-for-pound king has more appearances and achievements under his belt since beating Smith’s older brother (Liam) back in 2016 and has only lost once during his entire 15-year pro career, spanning 56 bouts, against Floyd Mayweather in 2013.

Below are some of the latest betting odds from Parimatch:

It’s predicted to be a win for Saul Álvarez:

1. Saul Álvarez Win: 2/9
2. Callum Smith: 3/1
3. Draw: 33/1

The exact Method of Victory is predicted to be a TKO but a safer bet would be winning by KO, TKO or Disqualification:

1. Álvarez to win by TKO: 7/4
2. Álvarez to win by KO, TKO or Disqualification: 10/11

What is less certain it the number of rounds it’ll take.

1. Under 9.5 rounds 5/5
2. Over 9.5 rounds 5/6
