Comments Thread For: Saunders: I Know I Have To Be More Clever Versus Canelo

[JonDP]

After the fight it will be laughable to revisit all the comments of people saying “Saunders’ movement will cause problems”. It’s not going to work. Saunders is not getting away from Canelo for more than half of the first round.

Alvarez plods. As much as I appreciate his speed, power, accuracy, combos, defence and chin he doesn’t have quick feet. I think Alvarez will struggle to close the distance if BJS chooses to ‘run’ and imagine he (Canelo) will win a boring decision.

I see this “Canelo plods” “he has cement feet” “slow feet” etc a lot but it sure didn’t look that way in the 1st fight against triple G. He quickly circled that ring all night. I think he’s worked on being more agile with his feet in recent years. Earlier in his career he was definitely more flat footed. Part of that had to do with him planting his feet to sit down on his counters, we he still does quite often

If Canelo can get inside, he's going to beat up Saunders to pulp.
Saunders inside game is quite bad.

And I see no reason why he couldn't with Billy Joe, dude's defense ain't no Floyds or Willie Peps.

And Canelo is not the same guy that fought Lara, Mayweather, Trout anymore. Canelo nowadays would body bag a fighter like Trout, his speed, power, defense, boxing IQ, everything has improved since...he is fighting at the right weight...
