[Other Sport] Canelo Vs Billy Joe Saunders

StonehamPark · May 7, 2021

Weigh in today, fight tomorrow.

Should be a very interesting fight.
Saunders a tricky and very slick boxer, will be a really fascinating watch against Canelo.

Canelo heavy favorite to win of course.

Who'll be watching?

I might set the alarm. Actually think it has the potential to be really boring if Billy Joe fights on the back foot which is probably his best chance of winning. Still a massive ask to get a decision against Canelo even if he does deserve to win.

No chance it will be boring.

This fight has the lot. Saunders is a very easy character to dislike, so no big disappointment if he gets sparked. On the other hand if he can somehow pull off a shock win, wow you would have to admire the underdog.

If he fights on the back foot, 12 rounds is still an awful long time, with 70k Mexicans baying for your blood and a vicious counter puncher tracking you down. The locals will not want to see Alverez cruise to a points win, even though he would be almost certain to get a decision, even if somehow it was close.

I don't think Saunders has the power to gain Canelo's respect, so not sure if he can keep him at bay for 12 rounds. If Saunders manages to go the distance and a lot of neutrals think he might have edged it, the judges will give it to Canelo anyway Imo.

I think BJS can only win on points but “should” have a decent chance.

I fully expect the fight to go the distance. I suspect sadly the judges have already made their mind up on the winner.

so have they made the ring bigger?

DJ NOBO · May 7, 2021

Taking everything into account, I can’t see how bjs wins this fight.
He is not heavy handed at middle , let alone super middle.
And he won’t get a decision there.
He will do himself credit but will get outclassed.
Canello in ten.

Mackenzie · May 7, 2021

Come on Canelo.

If BJS can implement the 'hit and don't get hit' strategy then I think he'll win, but I fancy Canelo, he's in a different class to anything the pikey had faced before.

Trying to work out in advance how to get my DAZN to cast onto TV screen. Everything I've tried tried I just get sound and no images. Just want to make sure it works before tomorrow

BiffyBoy100 · May 8, 2021

From listening to the pre-fight interviews, Canelo speaks little English yet still comes across so well and humble. Billy Joe Saunders will need such a huge PR machine and "tyson fury type narrative" to ever be likable.

I think it's going to be a boring fight, but Canelo in round 10 / 11

This is the first sporting event in history I'd rather the Englishman lose - he has no class.

You like the beef, juicy mexican beef :lol:

Got under canelos skin with him saying, 'you're in trouble now', to BJS.

Lenny Rider · May 8, 2021

BJS is your archetypal lovable Gypsy rogue, through his sport and some astute non related business deals his is financially secure regardless of this fight, and whilst the figure is life changing money his life won’t actually change that much. He had a classic You Tube interview with Seconds Out yesterday talking about God and how he’s here because of him and will win because of God, then finished up informing the interviewer that him a Tyson Fury bang prostitutes together &#55357;&#56904;

I really do fancy him to win this, as I don’t believe, aside from an ageing Mayweather which he lost and beating GGG with contentious score cards, Canelo has never fought anyone of BJS’s quality and calibre.

I’m going for an 8,9 or 10 round stoppage. &#55357;&#56397;

Yeah, always tricky to choose what's most lovable between encouraging domestic violence, abusing the homeless, multiple drugs bans, saying the seats at the Amex need to be padded as a homophobic insult, associating with MTK, animal cruelty........

Canelo played a blinder with all the ring size nonsense though. That really distracted the focus of the Saunders camp.

Muzzy · May 8, 2021

BJS is an overhyped CJT of the highest order, and I for one hope he gets his ass well and truly kicked in this fight.

Herr Tubthumper · May 8, 2021

My prediction is for BJS to be decked in the third round.
