No Eddie! No It Is Not! Decent fight though

[Wurider]

No it's not.

Said absolutely nobody ever, bar Edward Hearn.

Not a soul outside serious boxing fans know who Saunders is in USA. Eddie needs to lay off the peyote

2-3 years ago this fight would of been decent but now it’s a terrible fight. Saying that Saunders is a legit 168lb champ is a joke, he’s got good skills but that was ages ago and he’s nowhere near the athlete he was.

Easy fight for Canelo. Hopefully it’s in miami where the brits and Mexican fight fans can enjoy it

Just business as usual for boxing’s kingpin Canelo Alvarez... just another step toward unifying and 168, something that has never been done.... EVER! Canelo, greatest Mexican boxer of all time. Say it now, because when he finishes his career, he will have the best career, based on accomplishments and accolades, out of any Mexican boxer ever

[Monty Fisto]

Not one of the biggest fights in boxing, sorry, Eddie. It is, however, good enough: a unification bout against someone who has some skills. I think Canelo has far too much for him and it will end in a stoppage. BJS will probably get himself into better shape than he has been in recent bouts, but I suspect not good enough shape to handle what Canelo will bring. BJS kind of a paper champ anyway.

It's a good fight,and perhaps Saunders can surely perform better than Smith. It's not a fight that gets you salivating and very excited, compared to, say, Canelo vs Charlo or Benavidez.

Got a feeling this will be another controversial Canelo "win" with most people thinking Saunders won the fight. Saunders has all the tools to make Canelo look mediocre and actually beat him.
