    6th was BJS's early, but Alvarez controlled the second half.

    4-2 Saunders. Close round to Saunders with more landed punches.

    Canelo slowing down just a little bit. He's not as sharp as he was in the early rounds.

    Saunders getting comfortable and controlling the pace.

    Round 6

    Álvarez is getting turned, countered, and frustrated at every turn by Saunders. Álvarez getting at most an oblique fist scrubbed against the flank of Saunders from long range, but anything upstairs is off by a country mile. Saunders just outmaneuvering him and falling in with timely brief clinches while stuffing in his own sneaky drop-left body shots. At distance it all favors Saunders with the well-placed jab and fast legs scissoring fluidly around the ring.

    10-9 Saunders

    58-56 Saunders

    Yeah but he was warning him a lot last round, I don’t see why, Canelo was crowding him and he held for 2 seconds, which I think was totally fair. Anyway. I’ll watch it again and will probably find you are 100% correct. Got my beer goggles on...

    Yeah people on here should stop scoring for Canelo, where the guy is landing on thin air, and on BJS arms.
    This ain`t a scoring shots for god sake. Just because he is targeting the body, doesn`t mean he is landing this shots, he is landing on BJS arms, and this ain`t a scoring shot .
    But the Bias is strong here.
    4-2 for BJS so far.
    Canelo land nothing at the 6th, yet BJS landed a huge hook counter, that land 100% flush.
    How you can score that round for Canelo exactly? For what? For missing shots?

    Saunders is boxing Canelo's ear off at this point.
