Canelo v Saunders - May 8th Unification fight

[Batman]

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

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

Yep. And ironically, he gave Dubois more stick than anyone!

Eubank Jnr is also teasing him now.

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

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.

It it worth watching the entire fight? or just the highlights?

My alarm did not work and missed the fight.

Where is Canelo getting this much power?

Canelo is the same, he’s just fighting lesser fighters lately. Still, even with this euro tour vacation in the Americas he’s got a hell of a resume.

I thought it was PED but it may be the loaded gloves.

It is the kind of fight in which a highlight reel would be a bit pointless. Canelo is very, very good. That Saunders was able to make him miss consistently and tag him in every round was a surprise to many but Sanders lack of real spiteful power always meant it was going to be an uphill struggle. In a way it was a classic Boxer vs Fighter but despite the full stop ending it would be ridiculous to suggest the Canelo was not also a very nuanced and accomplished boxer. In fact it is hard to argue against him being the most rounded and complete fighter active at this point in the sport and the fact that Saunders managed at times to make him look ordinary is the real story of the fight.

[Master]

Canelo is the best p4p fighter today. What he is doing going up the weights and beating world champions is insane.

The rest can not prove themselves the best at their own weight like Crawford/Spence. He is embarrassing them.

[sanatogen]

Saunders did say he would put his life on the line in the ring. These things can come back and bite you regardless.
