    Canelo - well done mate. Bigger heart, bigger balls.

    Well, Billy Joe did well. I actually had it a draw at the end of the 8th but Canelo too sharp, too fast, and hits too hard.

    ...and Nasal Joe has no balls OOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!!

    This I'm shocked by. He was still doing well but those body shots over time were what hurt him. He gonna use the eye jammy as an escape.

    The eye is completely closed already.

    I think it was a very badly injured eye.

    But you would expect him to go out on his shield and come out for the 9th and go for it

    Looked bad as soon as it happened. Definitely looks like a fractured orbital, at the very least.

    The side of his face swelled immediately.

    No by landing the cleaner harder punches. Saunders was not winning this fight. If you didn't see those punches its because you must have extreme bias toward Canelo. I'm no fan boy of Canelo. My history of post will show that.

    Before Camelot talks please know the man understands and speaks English....So tired of folks saying he need to learn. English

    He understands perfectly but like my Spanish I can follow but not respond clearly so I use a friend or my wife to relay
