Canelo was losing the fight last week by at least 3 rounds before the KO came - a prime Krusher would have iced him.
I really don’t like BJS at 168, I dont think it helps his speed and power. He’s a middleweight, Canelo can get away with moving up because he has a bigger frame. The reality of it all is, BJS has zero chance of knocking out Canelo so has zero chance of winning.
If the fight gets made Billy's 0 is guaranteed to go. It's likely he will be no further forward in his career this time next year tbh so don't hold your breaths.
The sad part about fighting Canelo is that even if you beat him, you lose, because the cards are cooked every time.
Would need a KO which he has zero chance of. The fight will be even enough for Canelo to get a clear decision I reckon. Some people will have BJS winning. He will finally get a massive pay day though.
I know there’s the PED issue with Canelo, and that he’s been gifted a few decisions...but the fighter he is today is just phenomenal. I’d said for years that I believed BJS beats him, but then he fought GGG twice, had a comfortable win over Jacobs, made easy work of Fielding and iced Kovalev. He’s elite imo. At 168 and 175 he might drop a few rounds but I’d back Canelo to beat him, and I’m a fan of BJS. At 160 I think BJS is a hard nights work for Canelo but there is no way or point to Canelo going back down to that weight.
I always hate admitting it but what you're saying about Canelo is bang on the money, he has become an absolute machine, he's almost certainly an ATG now and the only reasons I find that hard to stomach is because of what you state in the opening sentence. Canelo v Bivol would be interesting.
His adjustments are just brilliant mate. He doesn’t fight the same fight every time. He was outgunned in the first GGG fight although he finished strongly. He turns up for the 2nd fight and goes toe to toe, landing lots of body shots. He doesn’t bother respecting Fielding’s size and just goes in and chops him down. He never looked in trouble against Jacobs who is world class. Against Kovalev, he adapts again, makes Kovalev work a lot harder than he wanted to but happy to give up rounds. He was patient and eventually his investments paid off. Top top fighter.
This fight is happening and I'm backing my man Saunders to give Canelo a tough nights work. My prediction: - Controversial points win for Canelo in a fight Billy comes out of looking elite
