    Murray didn't win a round.

    Paul Smith keeps saying father time beats everyone, but Murray also lost to everybody he faced for a world title.

    I might complain to Offcom the card was so bad.

    Boring affair. Murray did squat so far as trying to win the fight. Saunders just toyed with him.

    Canelo doesnt cut off the ring well against fast footed fighters. its not like saunders will be running he will be jabbing from the outside.

    Canelo didn't destroy Jacobs or Chavez Jr. He wouldn't destroy a far more elusive better defender like Saunders on his bestday.

    Why did they keep saying "Most people couldn't stand up to this?"

    Most people DO stand up to this against Saunders. (LOL)

    His KO percentage is like 45%.

    Good boxer. Boring as all hell.

    Interesting, I think BJS beats Smith.

    I just don't see him beating Canelo, I really don't, to be honest at 160 I would have given him more of a chance but 168 I think Canelo is too much of a beast for him.

    Canelo can't deal with slick boxers with quick feet. They had to rob Lara blind for Canelo to win.

    Canelo is flat footed and will 100% struggle with Saunders.

    BJS has always been all wrong for Canelo. He's too slick, too quick and tok negative. He has no qualms fighting a boring fight where the opponent gets nowhere near him.

    From what I saw tonight he still has the speed to school Canelo.

    He might not get the decision, but he'd easily take 12 rounds

    Early on in his career I would agree, he has improved a lot in that department.

    Hopefully we will see.

    If the version today shows up, he beats Canelo fairly handily, even at 168. The version that fought Lemieux shows up, Canelo wouldn't win a round.

    No, it’s because bjs fights to safe to go in for the kill the Murray went the distance.

    Hopefully we will see, I can't see any reason why BJS Vs Canelo can't happen if Canelo beats Smith.
