Canelo v Saunders - May 8th Unification fight

[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.

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

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.
