Billy Joe Saunders is going to shock the world!

The judges could be a key factor but I don't believe they are announced to the public before the fight happens, I could be wrong but I haven't seen it. In any case, the 3 judges selected for this fight in America are going to favour Canelo. Joe Parker isn't within a lightyear of pretty boy Canelo's status and financial muscle within the sport and he fought a close fight with a fellow New Zealander in New Zealand, yet two judges gave the fight to him by absurd margins because he's younger and an ex-champion with a much higher profile. Billy Joe could outland Canelo in 10 rounds as GGG did in their first fight and he still won't win. But Saunders isn't on GGG's level, even more so as he's been inactive, while Canelo has improved and Saunders is unpopular for his negative style and his antics outside the ring.

I expect Canelo to win this comfortably without any ****** business. But even on the off chance that BJS pulls out the performance of his life (schooling Lemieux isn't a high bar) it still won't be enough. I don't bet primarily for the sense of risk (which is still there to some degree even in a fight like this) I bet because I like to win money and no one 168 down can even get a draw with Canelo. I'll be going big on him to beat BJS, Plant and Benavidez.
