    Wlad looked lethargic also before fight.
    If about ring surface, if I had gameplan to clinch fight and use hooks, I better had hard surface, btw as hard surface as it is possible to have.
    Guys are different but " puffy floor " for this purpose is stuff that did not looked most suitable for me.
    Wlad maybe is different?

    Saunders has not negotiating power whatsoever. the 70,000 fans would pay to see Canelo fight a janitor from a local high school.; do you really thing they're showing up to see Saunders?

    They'll bring someone in and a fight happens, this time without a whingeing Colonel Saunders.

    Should have been negotiated up front. This is one of the basics that get negotiated from the get go. B sides shouldn't just take abuse, but in this climate you got to beat the champ to become the champ. The champs earn their way to be A sides in negotiations by taking risks and bringing in fans. Mayweather took the B side money to beat ODLH, Canelo took the B side money and beating against Mayweather to become a bigger star.

    At this point if BJS walks away he walks away from a major pay day and opportunity to become the man. Canelo can find anyone in the top 50 at 168 and still sell tickets. He doesn't need BJS to get fans to watch him fight.

    No Canelo has the premier belts WBA and WBC as well as Ring Magazine and lineal belt. BJS can keep his WBO belt assuming the WBO don’t strip him.

    They are showing up to see Canelo unify against an undefeated world champion, not to KO a local janitor in 1 round. They'll either budge or it will be a nothing event so BJS is wise to play this card, if he's willing to take the potential financial hit.

    Bluff and bluster, reminiscent of Fury going on about the ring surface against Wlad. The fight will go ahead. However unlike with Fury I don't see BJS having much of a chance of delivering a win

    LOL....no, they are showing up to see Canelo. They don't care about a belt! Note there has been absolutely NOTHING in the TV news or the local papers about this fight in Dallas. NOTHING. And his Mexican fans are showing up anyway.

    Yes, a janitor will be fine.

    There's no way this fight won't happen. Too much at stake.

    they would strip him rigth then and there. they wont let bjs cheat them out of a canelo sanctioning fee, or future ones, just to watch bjs go and hide in his caravan.

    You indirectly had admitted that pro boxing is only about $ and about NOTHING ELSE there.
    So why this show is better than cinema industry or anything else? This is only business to earn $.

    Let him be, he is a tickets seller and if no one self respecting guy will not agree to fight him in U.S then he might beat anyone and get money.
    Okey, he is mexican and U.S tickets seller in Nevada and Texas.
    Others doesn't care, btw like about BJS too.

    Saunders thinks he can ruffle up Canelo mentally with his antics, pulling every trick in the book, because he knows it doesn't matter what ring he is in with Canelo, his end day is coming. All this absurd talk about Gypsy toughness when it's all bluster, when faced with true toughness like Canelo's strong Mexican heritage the Gypsy goes running like a coward.

    It was all part of the grand Gypsy scheme by Tyson Fury. It wasn't JUST the hard canvas. It was also the Stomach gyrations at the press conference showing how fat and out of shape he was. This caused Wlad not to train as hard thinking that Fury was out of shape after seeing Fury's fat stomach. So it was a well laid trap for Wlad by Fury. And Billy isn't Fury. Canelo won't be dictated to, he's too smart and experienced for such tricks, but he may be willing to compromise. Canelo has sacrificed before to make fights, but never at this late stage mere days before a match. But Canelo has the upper hand here, Billy is the one looking like a fool getting Daddy to threaten to pull out of the fight. If Billy pulls out, then he was the one who pulled out, not Canelo. And he'll be the one accused of backing down from the fight of his life, and that's antithetic to the Gypsy spirit. Canelo doesn't have to give Saunders anything, if Billy refuses to fight under the standard rules then Billy will only bring shame on himself.
