You’re talking about a fight when they were young at domestic level for a domestic title and Saunders was half fit

If we want to start talking about fights from years ago then that’s like saying Canelo is going to get hurt because Cotto’s brother had him on ***** Street. Or he’ll struggle with BJS because Lara, Trout etc.. it’s never that simple when comparing fights from the past

You can’t judge one fighter on the past and not the other

Plenty of people said Lemieux would knock Saunders out because Saunders didn’t do so well against Eubank down the stretch in the Eubank fight. But Lemieux was never a high work rate fighter, neither is Canelo. Styles make fights.

I think they are both different and more mature fighters now.

People say Canelo is a much better fighter than when he faced Lara, sure he is, but you tell me the last slick southpaw he fought since?? He hasn’t faced one. There is no evidence to suggest he can deal with that style better than he could in the past, It’s just an assumption because he has some good wins on his record, Mostly against guys that will stand right in front of him and make him look good.

People make Saunders’ boxing ability to be this great asset and that he could pull a Mayweather on canelo, and it just is not the case whatsoever. Sure, the Eubank fight was a while ago but best believe it: Saunders boxing is not much improved. Canelo on the other hand has visibly gotten better every time out, and beat hellish opponents in the process. Who has Saunders beat? Saunders will get the beating of his career.

Canelo and brutal beating can`t be in the same sentence.

Three words: Smith left arm

Saunders only loses this fight by robbery

mark my words. Canelo is going to be made to look basic and his cement feet will be on show. He isn’t fighting some big stiff doofus that walks forward with his hands up like most of his opponents.

Here we go again. Even Mayweather didn’t make Canelo look that bad almost 10 years ago, all three judges had it a close fight. Stop living in ‘canelo-hate fantasy land’

yeah because BJS have a better chance of winning by a more convincingly outcome.

Too funny that you have Pac hitting May once, then gifts. It's okay bro, he lost. That shoulder looks fine throwing that punch as well.

Oh yeah, Nelo vs BJS will not be close at all!!!!

I agree that they hate Nelo but the Judges didn't have it close bro. One judge had a draw but the others had it 8-4 & 9-3

I don’t even know what type of fight to welcome or expect from Canelo in this fight.

im curious..

i expect Canelo to start slow in the early feel out rounds. At the same time it would be nice if Canelo just pressed the gas from the get-go

Eddie Reynoso said last week that they expect to take over in the second half of the fight because Saunders always loses his focus and physical steam. I don't think this is going to be a fire fight, but rather a chess match turned into a slow beat down of BJS.
