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

Was clearly a thumb to the eye

A thumb in the eye with thumbless gloves! What kind of mushrooms are you eating?

I doubt Charlo takes the fight he calls out everyone and then they say ok and he ducks, different excuse each time. What if Canelo has not had his COVID jab yet, has Canelo done enough to deserve a Charlo shot does the day have a Y in it ......the guys an average fighter who has made ducking into an art form.

He probably wont. He has hinted at wanting that fight though. They're both huge in Texas right? Im just sick of people believing Canelo is ducking this guy who hasn't really fought the top guys at middleweight. No Danny Jacobs, no GGG, no Lara. Same goes for Andrade.

Had it 5 to 2. In favor od saunders..you just cant win on cards vs clenelo. But does not matter Saunders quit so...

Ggg wont fight either one of them guys. Truth be told, anyones resume can be picked apart, including canelo. Bjs hadnt fought anybody, callum smiths resume was weak as well, so was rocky fielding and yildrims resumes weak. Canelo still chose to fight them. Stop talking that who deserves sh**. You say youre the best, then fight them all. And yes andrade and charlo should be fighting each other too, shouldve been happened but canelo still should fight them both.

Curious why you think GGG won’t fight either of them, if he is it’s because he’s waiting out a trilogy with Canelo. BJS and Smith had titles Canelo wanted, Smith was the man at 168. Yldrim was his mandatory and I won’t begrudge someone with his stature to fight a gimme every now and then, all the greats have done that. Truth is these young fighters are avoiding each other because they don’t want to lose but at the same time by doing so their stock stays flat and then they expect a Canelo fight and get a huge pay day and run away when they don’t get 8 figures. When nobody stands out you give room for Canelo to fight whoever. These up and coming fighters need to fight each other, Andrade, Charlo, Crawford, Spence guys like these are wasting their primes and just laying in wait it’s ridiculous. I say no fight until each of them takes a high profile fight.

Canelo broke Saunders' face. What more do you want?

that works against the low level opposition he’s been facing he needs to face a live dog.

[Reverb]

Yup, Canelo stated he knew Saunder would stay in his corner, he felt the orbital bone break. Wicked uppercut to the eyeball ouch

A definite ouch. Be interesting to find out what the injury actually is. In the corner it looked like his cheekbone had gone awol.
Unfortunately for Saunders, his years of quotes aren't proving wise. No big surprise there.
I'll be surprised of he has much interest in returning. He's done very well out of boxing, was I believe, already set for life before this fight, and he was waiting on his shot at the pinnacle. I'm guessing a hefty price tag would be required to ask him to step back in. He wasn't easily fired up to switch on for many opponents as it was.

Keep my name out of your mouth, you tedious old guard dork high on the fumes of your own farts

I never said your name, sunshine.

Why? Charlo is trash who has fought no one, let charlo fight ggg, Jacob, billy, or boo boo to earn the right to have nelos nuts in his mouth. Charlo is nothing but a dam tune up before a sparring session

Charlo fighting no one is beside the point. We can easily say that Plant, Andrade, and Benavidez fought no one (not to mention Smith, Saunders, Fielding, Yildrim, etc.).

My point is that it looks like Plant will be another easy win for Canelo. Whereas, I think Charlo can give Canelo a fight. Can't say for sure but he is young, powerful, has speed, defense, etc. The Benavidez fight would be my second choice. But we all know the Plant fight is pointless and will be another repeat of the past 6 Canelo fights.

Juan Macias Montiel is pointless. It looks like it will be another easy win for Charlo. Why didn't he accept Benavidez' challenge and move up to 168 lbs to fight him?

Canelo has to fight the entire world before he gets any respect from some of you. But every other fighter gets a pass to cherrypick.

[BodiesInFlight]

This is gonna be a great fight, I know it.

Saunders isn’t a Callum Smith turning up happy for the opportunity, fighting in straight lines.

Saunders is an excellent technical boxer and proud gypsy fighting man. He wouldn’t dare accept defeat easily like Smith, not in the culture.

So proud. So culture.
