    What happened last few times Canelo fought slick southpaws with good movement?
    Canelo is very good at subtlety edging his way into range by constantly backing you up and he will do these moves to get himself closer without you realising like leaning forward then coming up through the middle with a fast surprising jab or left hook and Canelo’s jab is very distracting because you expect hooks or overhand right from a smaller fighter, but Canelo will come up with surprising catch you off guard jabs and he will land them often and then you don’t know what to expect the jab or the left hook and he does all this whilst cutting off the ring and breaking you down and of course he goes to the body as well, but I don’t think these things will necessarily work against Saunders because the jab doesn’t tend to work against southpaws and Canelo does struggle with them, he will overreach with ring hands and not use the jab and he doesn’t cut of the ring against them like how he normally does, he just seemingly follows them around the ring at a slow pace and that will be a terrible tactic against Saunders
    This will probably be a boring fight with whoever has the right tactics will win

    I bet this will be a really dodgy fight like the Kovalev one. A corrupt ginger Mexican and gypsy... Recipe for some blatant match fixing... Incoming sparring session where BJS throws jabs just out of Canelo's range whilst Canelo punches BJS elbows and arms. Fight is scored 120-108 for Canelo's "power punching" and "volume" .

    Why are all the casuals/Canelo fanboys ignoring the fact BJS was his best at 160. He's looked quite shite at 168 tbh

    And he hasn’t had any southpaw expierience since, simply fighting someone who stands in a different position can a make a huge difference, the only time Canelo looked good against a southpaw was Kirkland and he was hardly even world level and was not by any means slick or had good movement, he gave Canelo combination punching opportunities on a plate.
    Yes Canelo is a better fighter now, but there is no reason he would be any better against a southpaw than he was against Lara or Trout, the technical things what Canelo has learned aren’t thing that work well against southpaws

    This fight should have happen years ago at 160 where I favored BJS. At this point, I favor Canelo.

    Saunders wont throw the fight like Kovalev did. If he loses then he gets either smashed or on the cards. If he threw the fight he would disappear and his community would ex-communicate him.


    They take this stuff seriously.

    Can someone explain to me why the people crying when there's a rehydration clause in place are the same people who are typically crying about "weight bullies" and large weight cuts in general?

    Canelo breaks down and stops BJS.

    I think (and hope) that Saunders gets beaten up.
