    Round 5

    Álvarez is following Saunders, getting caught between his eyes with jabs and then blundering directly onto a looping left that clips him hard and makes him blink and take a backward step. Álvarez crowds Saunders across the ring without actually throwing a punch, and then in the final stretch rushes in and scores a scooping underhanded right on the body falling into a clinch. Saunders patiently boxing in rhythm on the outside, keeping Álvarez on the perimeter with his jab and quick jettisoning pushes off the ball of each foot.

    10-9 Saunders

    48-47 Saunders

    I get the feeling with the respect Canelo is showing that Saunders might have harder hands than I thought.

    Some of that Gypsie magic just made an appearance. They don't like it when they get some. BJS making progress in the right direction.

    Very good round for BJS.

    I have it 4-1 Canelo, but I can easily see 1 or 2 of those rounds being flipped.
