Comments Thread For: Saunders: Callum Smith Took The Money Route For Canelo Fight; Wasn't At His Best

[Jab jab boom]

Saunders is the first canelo opponent in 2 years to be given sufficient notice. Short notice is a known canelo tactic to balance the odds in his favor. It used to be, age (picking guys 35 and over)catch weights, then it because rehydration clauses, then short notice. Anyone believing that canelo opponents have been going into a fight against him on a level playing field are blinded by love and in denial.

Stop what? I’m going entirely on what’s stated in the article, and all I’ve said is you can’t criticise someone for saying that 5 weeks isn’t enough time to prepare when clearly it isn’t.

If Smith’s training camp was longer than 5 weeks, then then fair enough, but you should have led with this in your original response and substantiated it. Given how aggressively defensive you’ve been however, I very much doubt Smith said this and you’re just being biased.

yeah that guy is full of sh**. Smith said he’d been in the gym but by no means was in an actual training camp. Obviously there’s a difference between the two. On top of that, this statement was before the fight and what fighter is going to go into a fight outwardly saying they’re at a disadvantage and not at 100%? That poster just wants to hear nothing but 100% canelo praise without any sort of criticism.

Saunders is coming up with excuses for other Canelo opponents’ subpar performances. It’ll be no surprise when he has excuses for himself after the fight.

Saunders is being an idiot on this issue. Fighters at his level have promoters, managers, and/or trainers notifying them when a fight is in the works and potential dates, and negotiations at that level can take weeks and even months to finalize.

The fighter can choose to stay in the gym in between fights, start training when he receives notification of negotiations or when he receives an acceptable offer or wait until it’s official or not train at all! Like Smith and Saunders, Caleb Plant has been rumored as Canelo’s next opponent. If he waits until it’s official to wrap his head around the prospects of facing Canelo, it’s his ****ing fault!

We’ll see what BJS’ excuses are after he sees how tough it is to land a clean shot on Canelo, tries to ramp up his output and gets countered, tries to stick and move with heavy legs from Canelo’s body work, probably something about having to drop 50 pounds in 8 weeks or his toe or some goofball ****.
