Comments Thread For: Hearn: Canelo vs. Saunders is Biggest Fight of 2021 So Far

[TinAgeOfBoxing]

How many Brit fighters have been demolished recently after being hyped as world beaters? Saunders is on the same level as Eubank and loses to Callum Smith. That is how shyte this fight is.

Saying that after Estrada-Gonzalez...

Hell yeaaaahh this is the fight and to have a packed arena for it gives me nostalgic feelings

Damn, 2021 sucks.

You beat me to it, sad times for the sport I’ve been watching since the 70s.....

I'm a Canelo fan and used to be a Saunders fan, until the Lemieux fight. At this point Saunders feels like depleted goods. Not a lot of intrigue.

Funny that was the fight I became a Saunders fan. Lemeuix holds two of my favorite KOs but Saunders absolutely outboxed and make David look lost and confused in there. My theory is that Saunders fights to the level of his opponent so against Canelo we're going to see the best Saunders to date.

I just think Saunders is a genius at head games ...the press conferences, the in-ring antics ...if he gets under Canelo's skin enough, and gets him out of his game, Saunders could very will win this. UNOFFICIALLY . It would still have to go to the scorecards, and Saunders would still be on foreign soil. Both would be strikes against him getting a decision victory, even if he clowned Canelo from bell to bell. I would not be surprised though, if there are calls for a robbery, after he outboxes Canelo. Maybe David Lemieux was a hothead and more prone to Saunders' head games then Canelo will be. Lemieux shoving Saunders, after he wandered too close to his corner during the intros

Eddie just say whatever for attention, he loves Attention on himself

Solid Fight but a "BIG FIGHT" not so sure about that

Been a while since I've been this interested in a Canelo fight - the matchups against the recent stiffs has been pretty boring outside of just Canelo work. Yilidim and Smith turned out to be about the same level of threat......"Weekend at Bernie's" version of Kovalev couldn't bring much and he still probably sc****d a couple rounds....

anyway, this is the first time in a while Canelo will be fighting someone who actually has rhythm. That alone will make a difference, it will be a good fight. A lot of the comments I see aren't saying SAunders can't compete, they just aren't interested because of the judging.

To the last sentence: I hope so. Saunders definitely isn't a can, like Canelo's last opponent.
