Santos Saúl Álvarez Barragán vs. William Joseph Saunders/Elwin Soto Castro v. Katsunari Takayama RBR

Davis was lucky the bell came to his rescue there because he was in big trouble after that KD. He looked a lot bigger than that guy too. Judging from that he's definitely the weaker brother albeit Keyshawn is obviously still a 2-0 novice himself.

 

Possibly

 

No, it was just the personal threats and ad hominem attacks, which you aren't allowed to do. But I was going toe to toe with you. So I was just as guilty of the ad hominem stuff. Also, I like you, and I'd probably feel bad about it. So I just deleted the whole convo.

 

This will be Saunders coming out party. His performance will rival Floyd's domination of a green Canelo. I've always said a dedicated fully focused Saunders is the best fighter at 160 and capable of beating even GGG. The one time he had to be fully on (because he had to be), and not coast, was an away fight in Canada, he didn't lose a second of that fight. This is the most focused Saunders I've ever seen heading into a match. He'll prove he's as good as I've been claiming he is for the last 7 years on here tonight. This will be his Fury-Wlad moment.

For all of the naysayers. What if Saunders doesn't crumble, because Canelo is incapable of making the needed adjustment? What is Canelo finds himself hitting air all night? If GGG can move a millimeter and make Canelo miss while in range, a constantly out of range Saunders will make him miss all night. I think you guys are giving Canelo, who's proven to be adept at outboxing face first plodders, more credit than he deserves. How many pure boxers who control range well has he faced since his match against Lara? Shot Cotto was a close match, against GGG he lost both, shot Khan and shot Kovalev both schooling him before what they brought in there for inevitable happened. Hell, even Jacobs, who doesn't control range very well took 5 to 6 rounds off of him. That's not a stellar record of incredible performances now is it? Eliminate them, that leaves Angulo, Beefy, Fielding, Callum, Yildirim, Kirkland and Chavez. Oofah! That's horrid. If those looping eye catching shots can't find their mark early, Canelo will get desperate, wear himself out hitting air and be in for a very long night. Because newsflash, it's not hard to walk down guys who are standing in front of it. Canelo is still fairly flat footed, and a plodder on the front foot. Do any of you see him being the hard charging guy, literally running after Lara? Is he even capable of that with the added bulk? This is not as cut and dry as most of you have allowed yourself to be convinced it is.

All The Superb One has to do is evade Canelo's shots and outbox him, when he's capable of threading a needle in a hurricane. This'll be a piece of cake.



That being said, if I'm wrong.... oh well. I'm wrong. It's just boxing.

 

BJS 2.0 is very slick and talented but in addition to him looking like crap up at 168, being inactive, the ill-discipline and not living right for much of his career, the deck and judges being stacked heavily against him, not having fought at this level before or on a stage of this magnitude, Clenelo is a thick-set and powerful natural 168 pounder now who looks more suited to the weight than BJS 2.0 does. He's got an awful lot against him so he's going to have to raise his game considerably and we're about to find out if he can or not soon. His skills and talent are legit though.

 

Couldn't agree more.

Although, you should give Serge a chance, once you get to know him, it's hard not to love him.

 

God no. I'll slap the fat out of his cheeks

 

Oh well, it is what it is. It's a pity, you're both Pisces, you'd probably really get along. But sometimes there's just too many irreconcilable differences. Clearly.
