Canelo Alvarez vs Billy Joe Saunders is set for May 2nd in Las Vegas

BJS does have the style to give Canelo issues but his lack of comp against Elite opposition and lack of big fight experience will let him down here. Canelo takes it.

 

Yes you are right the first fight was a split draw. I think Canelo good performance in the second fight did seal the case between these two. "Winner takes all".

If Billie Joe brings his A game it could be a great fight. But I know now by experience that Ifs rarely meet expectations. I would already risk a prediction. Canelo wins this.

 

You sound like a Canelo fanboy. Trout and Lara ain't better than Saunders.

 

My play in this fight is to go the distance.

Canelo points >90% of the time.

Billy Joe is unlikely to put in a performance as good as GGG did in the first fight but is slick enough to box and move for 12 rounds.

 

Perhaps. I think Oscar's chequebook might come in to play here.

 

Ignorance. Check Bhop and Pacquaio's age...

 

Anyone know what shape BJS is in ?

Would prefer a lighter, quicker version on fight night.

 

Pear shaped.

 

You have to KO Canelo just to get a split decision so no danger for him in this one.

 

I predict a late stoppage for Canelo with BJS gassing

 

Clenelo by decision. Fair or rigged.

 

What does that prove? Saunders is 30 and this will be his first fight against a world class opponent. To argue he's past his prime right before he actually steps up is hilarious

 

keep laughing then, until the fight when I will have the last laugh...

 

Saunders looks flashy against lesser opponents but think it's a bridge to far.. took everything that GGG had to offer in there first fight and gave him a taste of his own medicine in the second. Recon Saunders gets dropped before the tenth. Levels

 

Canelo stoppage. Walks him down, slip, counter, maybe bodyshot stoppage or overhand right.
