Anyone else think it looked too easy for Canelo?

    Yeah, opinions on this fight are a bit all over the place. I think it’s a pretty simple read.

    Saunders’ style is exactly the type that would need to be employed to beat Canelo, for someone who isn’t a (much) larger banger. He is a tactical, slick, and skilled boxer. He boxed well and bagged some rounds before getting busted up. It seemed like he was fighting mainly to keep Canelo off of him.

    For his part, as I saw it, Canelo never really had to take it out of 1st gear. He said he was going to work Saunders out and then finish him later into the fight, which is exactly what he did. He never really upped the pressure, or his combinations gunning for the finish.

    Although Saunders did win some rounds, as the fight unfolded, I never seriously thought the outcome of the fight was in question.

    You will see all 3 fights all Crawford needs to do is accept the money and bluntly he has no choice as it’s the most he will get.

    What the hell are you even rambling on about?

    I was simply refuting your claim that it was "too easy". He was losing 5-3 on anybody's card that wasn't taken in by fanboyism.

    How could it be too easy if he was losing 5-3?

    You're just making up things and arguing against them.

    Who says he was losing 5-3?

    You?

    They are, of course, the official score cards...right?

    The judges scored it 5-3?

    Otherwise, you dribbling half wit, what are you blathering on about?

    Answer the question, who scored it 5-3?

    Hang on, according to you it would be "anybody" not "taken in by fanboyism"?

    So, basically, anybody who disagrees with you, yes?

    After all, your opinion is the only one that counts...right?

    I'd give up if I were you, as you are clearly aa thick as two short planks and are going to achieve nothing...beyond embarrassing yourself even more than you already have.

    You are probably right, in the end he'll either take it or it won't happen.

    I mean you can think that. I don't know that there is any proof but we'll likely never know.

    Honestly this is my suspicion and best guess. I think it's pretty probable that most or all of the fighters are in fact on PEDS. Just the way it is and so in that respect it is a level playing field if everyone is juicing.

    Your point about the fighters with the most dollars getting access to better PEDS that arent detectable may have some merit. But a guy like BJS probably would have access to PEDS that arent easily detectable too, yeah?

    Ever watched Invictus? It seems that whenever a competitive advantage is found, other competitors find out about it and use it too.

    Saunders fought good. Was outboxing Canelo in some rounds. Was interesting fight but int the end Canelo was just that good and managed to catch him
