    BJS will be motivated and fit for this one. Tight Canelo decision in a very good fight.

    I think we might actually see Canelo do a bit of southpaw in this fight, to show another facet of his skill set.

    Canelo is a far superior boxer, the only issue he will have in stages is BJS footspeed & maybe his southpaw stance. Other than that, Canelo should win comfortably.

    I like BJS as a fighter,i really do

    However he aint going to school Ginge

    He doesn't have GGG power so how on earth does he stop him

    And points? to the human eye, he could win it that way but cmon
    With Golden boy running it ,thats one way of winning already out the window

    I’m actually looking forward to this, think it’ll be a good match up. Think BJS will put in a good showing but be comfortably beaten

    Can't see anything other than a comfortable Canelo victory. He's beaten a plethora of boxers better than BJS, who whilst he has had a good career isn't as elite as everyone says he is. He edged past Ryder and Eubank, who were both green at the time, beat Lemiux who has always been vulnerable and limited, and has struggled with sub-par opposition throughout his career.

    Canelo is arguably P4P#1, whereas BJS isn't top 25. I think BJS goes the distance but is beaten up throughout.

    Ben Davison certainly has his work cut out. Prepared Fury for Wilder and now Saunders for Canelo. As the new permanent trainer for Josh Taylor it looks like he’ll be getting him ready for unification bouts this year too. He’s going to have bags of experience for a youngster

    To be fair BJS could knock Canelo out and still lose a decision.
    He knows this he is not stupid even though he is a gypsy naive at times but not stupid.

    yea no... even if the top form bjs shows up its still a tough close fight.. and the top form bjs only shows up once in awhile... so Canelo UD.

    I wish BJS was still with Ingle. I want the most roided up version of BJS, since we all know Canelo will be juiced to the gills anyway.

    Bjs would have a solid chance of an upset at middleweight but at super middle not to sure, he has always giving it the better the opponent the better I am talk and to be fair he has looked good against lemeiux Lee eubank but canelo is no Lee lemeiux or eubank, a few months ago I thought it was closer than people thought but under Davison he will be trying to nick rounds but he will never get the decision, I think it will go 12 with canelo shut out on the cards even though it will look a lot closer

    He's fought David lemieux and Andy Lee, while looking bang average for the majority of his career and now you think he's going to make Canelo look silly .....

    He is cashing out after clamouring for it for best part of 2 years. Alvarez will oblige.
