Fair cards.

[PredatorStyle]

Cards are as expected. Would needed to knock him out anyway.

pathetic, no point trying to box alvarez as you need to not get hit by him to win a round. alvarez can lose by ko only which is a bit of a handicap

I'm not calling fix on the cards, but the fact is that Canelo doesn't need to win rounds. The onus is immediately on the opponent to 'do enough' to win a round off him.

I thought Billy won 1,5,6,7 and the other rounds were pretty inactive.

At the end of the day, there was only one clear round. And it was pretty decisive.

You thought yet most had it 4-3 or 5-2 Canelo winning lol

We no-one should have had those scores as there were 8 rounds.

And as I said, I think people are defaulting rounds to Canelo. BJS had to win them, Canelo didn't need to even be active.

Look at it another way, I find it hard to believe people thought Canelo did enough to win 5 rounds.

So, other than first and fifth, what other rounds did you think Saunders actually won?

Some of you need to go back and rewatch the fight. Try turning the volume down or off so that those horrible announcers don't influence you.

Saunders won, AT MOST, 3 rounds....I had it 5-2 Canelo. Canelo's punches throughout the fight were more meaningful and more impactful. A lot of his body shots went unnoticed. I'm betting Saunders noticed them though, hence why he kept ducking so low . Canelo knew wtf he was doing the whole fight, set him up for the uppercut he continuously tried to use, and then WHAMMO!

I gave Saunders rounds 1,5 and 6. I could see him getting round 4 as well.

Canelo doesn't get rounds just because he's Canelo or at least he shouldn't.

Its a shame that the fight didn't last longer, I really enjoyed it.

Canelo did look frustrated at times, I don't give af what these pseudo experts on here say. The fight was competitive and BJS was game.
