    I would like to see Saunders do it. Canelo has so many advantages and is so dominant that at this point I am rooting for the underdog.

    I don’t think Saunders does it. I don’t see how he can win the fight from rounds 4 onwards, as Canelo will impose relentless pressure on him and he doesn’t have the gas tank.

    Hoping for a no contest cause of something stupid. Draw is fine (in other words 8-4 Saunders so probably not happening).

    I'm rooting for Saunders with the caveats that (1) I don't really like him, he seems like a douche and (2) I'm expecting a Canelo decision.

    Canelo, but more so a good fight.

    I don’t care for Canelo’s diva attitude, but I’m impressed that he is taking challenges, raising his profile and keeping boxing relevant with big fights.

    BJS can be funny, but more so comes off as an ass and can be vile sometimes like his stunt with the homeless woman, the domestic violence video, or getting friends kicked off a plane. He also isn’t a very busy champion. He faced Lee abd Lemiux and then basically no one else of note at 160 or 168. He wouldn’t be an exciting champion to follow. He’s not going to make big fights happen.

    At the end of the day I won’t be broken up or care if either guy wins or loses as long as it’s a good fight.

    Hoping primarily for a good fight, after that I prefer a Canelo win because he'll make better use of the career momentum.

    Just want it to be a good fight... And be scored plausibly,

    if it goes the distance - if you can argue that either of them won it then either outcome is respectable, but a robbery would really sour it in the memory regardless of how good the fight is.

    Same, I'm expecting Canelo to win a decision but I would absolutely love an upset win even though Saunders is a ****.

    Saunders.

    As Canelo always has the deck stacked in his favour, has already received numerous questionable favourable decisions and Canelo’s casual fan base is quite annoying.

    I'd normally support a fellow Brit. I'd normally root for the underdog. But that's impossible with Saunders. He's such an awful human.
