To be honest I see a one sided beat down by Canelo, as I don’t believe Billy is an elite fighter at 168 and think he will gas by the middle rounds. Canelo has had trouble in the past with fighters that move well, so the last 4 fights are irrelevant as they all came forward and met him head on. Let’s see what happens in a few hours but even if you disagree with others, I don’t see the difficulty in seeing where their logic comes from.
“Could go either way” is literally an outcome for boxing fights every week. I could say I’m backing Saunders to win on points and if Saunders then gets a robbery decision on the cards, would that mean my prediction was correct? No it wouldn’t.
If my life depended on it I’d pick Canelo. Because he’s the only one out of the two who has the power to knock the other out and because Canelo just doesn’t lose on cards. Canelo is heavy favourite so that’s hardly a shock. But I think Billy Joe can take this to the distance and will win rounds in the process.
