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

Round 5 : BJS

4-1 Canelo.

 

Much better round from Billy. Finding his groove now. When he starts acting cocky like that he is actually at his best.

 

10-9 Saunders

48-47 Canelo

Really good round by Saunders, landing more, nice double jab in there, BJS working well.

 

3-2 Canelo

 

3-2 bjs
5-0 on the judges scorecards

 

Good round by Saunders.

 

3-2 BJS

 

Very nice round from Saunders, he actually took the action to Canelo some and landed a couple of very clean head shots. Canelo loading up too much.

4-1 Canelo.

 

R 1 10-9 Canelo. Luv those heavy body shots.
R 2 10-9 Canelo. He looks much stronger & obviously has the heavier hands.
R 3 10-9 Canelo. It's a fly-swatter versus a shotgun.
R 4 10-9 Canelo. Billy has a big mouth & not much else. Needs to show something soon or the fight will be gone.
R 5 10-9 Billy. First round I've seen some meaningful offence from him. Not sure he won the round, but in the interests of fairness, I've given it to him.

 

saunders looked like dog **** for the first 4 but won the 5th

 

Canelo loading up too much, he could gas out late on

 

Round 5
BJS is starting to return body shots and is also starting to land some stiff jabs and a few power shots
BJS is going to have to earn the respect of Canelo
This been a better round for BJ is the Canelo is just sitting the major trap
10/9 BJS
48/47 CANELO

 

Saunders is fighting with a high boxing IQ and confidence.

 

Finally some action from Saunders, better maintain it

 

Clear Billy round IMO 4-1 Canelo
