    No Canelo walks forward with his hands up waiting to pull counter, Saunders throws combos and moves, there`s going to a lot of missing in this one.

    Saunders didn`t land that much on Lem despite having him out-foxed, there was a lot of movement.

    Canelo can't possible understand Saunders posh London accent. Needs a translator; maybe Tyson Fury will help.

    If Billy boy fights like he is capable then this is going too be close. Should be interesting .the judge's will be key if it goes to points.

    No Saunders throws far more shots than Camacho did at 140.

    This response more than anything, has convinced me, you've never actually seen Saunders fight, have you?

    Yes I have and Saunders has nothing against Canelo, Canelo has more skills better boxer better defense more power faster hands better counter puncher better offense better jab, better chin , better combinations, only thing Saunders has against is he's faster on his feet I'm 100% sure Saunders is soft to the body and head no way he takes the punishment Smith and ggg took, Saunders will just be moving or running around taking punishment.

    You do realize that Saunders isn't that easy to hit clean right? And you do realize that Canelo isn't some one punch guy, it's not like Saunders is going to just stand there and let Canelo tee off on him. All you Canelo fans really do seem to have a pisspoor understanding of what your guy does best. Walking down plodders with poor defense. Sure, he walked down Kovalev and landed a bomb late. But Kovalev is easier to land on clean than Saunders, and how many flush shots did it take to KO this shell of a man? Regardless, Canelo has ALWAYS struggled with pure boxers. Nothing will change Saturday.

    By the way, GGG didn't take very much punishment. Once again, you seem to not process what you're seeing all that well.

    dude billy joe has spent his career looking like crap vs subpar fighters all this talk about IF he fights to his potential when he never has fought to this so called potential, look man it’s not Canelo fans that’s delusional it’s his detractors, Canelo has shown top level defense and head movement top level boxing skills, and top level body work all of which tends to get ignored because he’s not the typically face forward brawl that most Mexican fighters tend to be, as far as the GGG fight y’all need to get over it he lost in the second fight dude face was beat to ****, but somehow he didn’t take punishment get serious man... Billy gonna get that ass taxed

    So, are we just going to ignore the fact that Saunders has had ONE away fight, where he knew that he needed to put a career best performance in, and that he won the fight, against perhaps his most dangerous opponent in dominant fashion? Why do people get caught up in this narrative? Clearly in the UK, Saunders does enough to get a points lead, adn then cruises and looks like crap. Because he knows he can half ass it. But when he knows he needs to deliver. He delivers.
