Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez Stops Billy Joe Saunders in Eight To Unify WBC, WBO, WBA Titles

[Skillz12]

Saunders IMO was the trickiest of all the smw his lefty stance and style was a tough one and canelo adapted nicely

[Monty Fisto]

Looks more like a thumb to me. Could be broken but the one angle looks like the thumb hit pretty directly on the eye. Either way, beautiful ****ing shot.

Come on, good luck thumbing an eye when the thumb is sewn flush to the hand. That was a ruinous injury, not a poke in the eye.

I had Saunders up at the time of the stoppage

With those crowds and electricity, Canelo really carries a big portion of the sport. His speaking english here and there is really cool I think.

Saunders was dipping his head below the waistline more and more and canelo timed him and caught him as he was ducking low.....it’s illegal to bend below the waist line constantly

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.

How about you let me smash you in the eye, and then see if you want some more dumbass. Same goes to all the other fools here too. i'll visit each one with my bat and smash you all in the eye once. I guarantee you all run off crying for mama.

I had it 6-2, but I could see 5-3 or even 4-4. Broken eye socket, he’s no quitter, you can’t continue with a injury like that.

Johnny has a point here.

suck when fights end like that but credit to Canelo because that last sequence was sick, not his fault he broke the face. I thought Saunders would make it a good event and fight, turned out pretty good but the fight didnt reach its real crescendo. Canelo's body attack against the mover did improve . Like someone else said, that's it for me, I thought Saunders would bring the most problemsI don't think Canelo has much issue with Plant

Just reported a broken orbital bone. That’s what Kell Brook suffered also. No way Saunders could have continued.
