Canelo v Saunders - May 8th Unification fight

[TIC]

the legend grows. billy joe quit like a pussy

[Batman]

what is it with us Brits having weak eyes?

[Rotten Apple]

The bitch in Saunders came out

[palmerq]

I don't know I had it 6-2 alvarez there, Saunders had some success and good rounds but alvarez landed some really good stuff to the body and really did some damage in the 8th there. Saunders is just the wrong style for him and very good and in a big ring, that's a good win for the Mexican....

[Spicoli]

And people give Brook shat. I honestly can't see Plant doing much better once it goes rounds though

[palmerq]

I think that's the toughest fight at 168 for alvarez he still follows guys around and gets jabbed and hit but the good movers... I don't rank alvarez as top p4p guy though, he just has a few too many flaws....

Plants top notch classy dude but honestly not near big event or seasoned as Saunders. Be interesting and has to happen before Benavidez

BJS down on two of the cards by 4 rounds, no point in him carrying on with the fight regardless of the eye injury lol, he wasn't winning that fight regardless.

I had it all level after the 8th

Same

[imp]

Let’s see if he gets the same abuse as Dubois.

[TIC]

good cards. i only gave billy joe three rounds

[erics44]

Saunders would have had to win 9 clear rounds to win (at least)

he was doing well, even a case to say he was up a couple, but none of the judges had him winning so whats the point in carrying on with a broken face

[Beanz]

I had Saunders level. He fought the fight that he was always going to fight and Canelo was clearly being given rounds on the idea that he had intentions rather than punches connected or any kind of work-rate gulf on display. I can see how you may have had Canelo up on the cards but I still don't see how you can only give BJS two rounds. If Tibbs made the decision then you can't blame the fighter for following his corners advice. Canelo is a brutal finisher and you have to respect that kind of eagerness to fight such a range of challengers, but the judging was Billy Bullshit all night long.

They have to make that happen... Pay the money eddie!

I just think Saunders was as bad as it gets at this weight class for alvarez, he's always struggled with good movers and he gave the git the big ring too(apparently the biggest ring Saunders has fought it)... Alvarez showed the same strength and weaknesses as before he's just pretty good and I think too much for plant.....

I had it the same as the judges, alvarez just did more damage the whole fight... Maybe I'm a crap judge...

Plant next then onto lightheavyweight I say... Andrade is no threat.

[imp]

He won’t go to 175.

He will stay at 168 for the rest of his career and arrange suitable catch weights when needed.

I thought it would be Canelo towards the end but BJS obviously decided he had enough after one punch.

If it is broken then his career will go like Kell Brook.
