I'm old enough to remember when fighters fought regularly with one eye swollen shut.

**** those scorecards fight was a lot closer than that.

What were they? I had it 5-3 Canelo

Joe Saunders has been removed. He will forever be known as Billy Quit this day forward

Props to Saunders for coming to fight and giving it his all.

I think Plant will box better than BJS did but when Canelo starts getting to the body, the hands drop and he starts to take over as he does and stops Plant late or wins a clear decision. Charlo I think makes it more difficult for Canelo than Plant does. And Benavidez is the wild card here with his size, volume, and power for anyone at 168.

****ing hell Canelo landed 53% of his power shots.

Great fight while it lasted. I thought Saunders had a chance to win that fight down the stretch before the eye stopped him from coming out for round 9. At least I thought that until they just read off the judges scorecards. Only 2 rounds for Saunders through 8 rounds??? WTF do they get these judges from. Saunders didn’t have a shot to win this fight even if he continued, the fix was in for Canelo. With that being said. I don’t want to hear Bud Crawford as the top pound for pound fighting nobody in the welterweight division to date.

Saunders and his buddy Brook sat on each other faces too much it sounds like

Saunders isn't a quitter so I'm pretty sure that we will find there is some unpleasant injury there.

ahhhhhhhaaaaaa, ahaaaaaaaaaa, I tough punch to the eye and he quit. I have been watching boxing for a long time and have seen a lot worse with guys continuing. Brook quit 2x, Dubois quit, and now BJS. Ohhh and let me remind you joe smith fought from RD 2 on with a broken jaw and guess what ? He didn’t quit.
