    You also MISINTERPRET evidently. This site has been rife with jackasses claiming when the perceived "less skilled" fighter wins by KO out of the blue, it's because they landed a lucky punch or they needed to be bailed out by their power. Usually the same ones that shout skills pay the bills from the rooftops. Yet those same posters can't seem to process the skill level possessed by many aggressive fighters, as evidenced by the countless hater threads dedicated to denigrating them. Obviously their timing is excellent and they created those openings. But still, it must be said, many fighters who are visibly struggling with an opponent, they're forced to make the needed adjustments, because they're having difficulty initially, sometimes even for the majority of the fight beforehand. Regardless, I was being passive aggressive and sarcastic. That's pretty obvious.

    However, a footnote. Without the natural or perhaps unnatural power, would those perfectly timed shots have the desired effect? Would they crush orbital bones? Would they violently drop opponents three times? You can have the greatest timing in the world and be more than adept at making openings, but if the power isn't there, the opponent is usually undaunted, and walks right through it and outworks or continues to outbox their opponent. Also who's to say that had Canelo's power not crushed Saunders orbital bone, what would have happened in the 9th. For all we know, Canelo may have gassed himself out in the 8th which could've potentially allowed Saunders regroup and work his way back into the fight..

    Is that supposed to be an insult? Most reasonable non-Canelo fanboys had Saunders winning. 6-2, 5-3 Saunders or 4-4 are the only possible scores, and even 4-4 is stretching reality to the breaking point. But you're right, I do hate Davis and Canelo, but I still score their matches fairly.

    No point discussing this with you. The lights are on but nobody is home.

    Like I said you don't understand boxing so discussing this with you is a waste of time.

    No you don't Stevie Wonder can score their fights better than you. Even the Brits had Canelo ahead not just the official judges and I.

    Stop it. I had BJS ahead and i dislike him. I even rooted for the Mexican. It was a super close fight. It was a boxing masterclass against a pressure heavy style. You can score it differently, there isn't one truth if it comes to the scorecards in this fight before it was stopped.

    I dread to think what you are on when watching Canelo and Tank.

    Certainly not Canelo and Tank jizz, like you. In fact, you're probably wearing a jizz beer helmet.:lol:

    The judges had Canelo comfortably ahead so did I. Bollocks no masterclass boxing from Billy Jsne Saunders.

    I'm not even arguing a scorecard which has Canelo ahead. It was a close fight. You can score some rounds differently. Why are you so obsessed with a freaking scorecard? If you had Canelo ahead, so it is. I had BJS ahead. Do you think scoring is a science? Do you think because of the judges having Canelo ahead it makes your scorecard "better" than mine? Grow up little boy. You're trying to convince people that your scorecard is more truthful than others. Wow. I have seen it all.

    You're making it seem like Canelo was behind on points against Saunders when most sensible posters had Canelo sightly ahead or at the very least had it very close with Saunders ahead by the time of the stoppage. Canelo was going to the body, breaking Saunders down. And timed him numerous times. Obviously power helps but it didn't bail him out. Power is what bailed Chisora out when he was getting worked by Takam. Canelo vs Saunders ? No. That fight was close and Saunders himself was already slowing down. Lets get real here. You'd have a point if Saunders was schooling him the whole fight but that wasn't the case.

    A perfect example of power bailing someone out is Wilder vs Ortiz
