    Saunders dominates him even more decisively than Ryder, and isn't robbed of a decision. Saunders is a smart fighter, and he realized the success a southpaw in Ryder had in getting in close, smothering the offense of Smith, and bringing a rugged inside game, fighting on the inside, clearly isn't the forte of Mundo. Not to mention, he and Ryder are friends, and Ryder will be sharing every secret imaginable with The Superb One.

    BJS at his best is a much better fighter but Smith will tower above him, it will look like a light heavyweight vs a middleweight, BJS is done now I think, I don’t think he’s interested anymore, wants one more payday

    Saunders is disgraceful. He’s fat, ugly, boring, narcissistic and a horrible ****er.

    I see a lot of myself in him really

    Can't see this happening without a live gate.

    Didn't Billy Joe retire recently? I remember that, or am I wrong?!
    Or did he just Broner retire, trying to get a reaction and attention, but everyone was just like "Ok, bye!"

    One of the most interesting fights out there. Neither will underestimate the other so they should show their best stuff.
    Considering how small Groves looked and how difficult it was for him to fight from the outside, it will be intriguing to see what Saunders can do.

    And any who still think Canelo isn't a manipulative diva ***** after he's screwed two more champs around like this, you are a disgrace. It's not just Golovkin now. You have two other fighters making it quite clear they've been on the end of underhanded GB bull****.

    The winner should fight Plant for the Title of best Canelo ducker. And if Saunders wins he could try to sniff the title up his nose.

    Callum gets tucked in by BJS. Too slick for a fighter with a low boxing IQ like Callum who only gets by at the higher levels, due to being tall and big at the weight.

    Cant see this happeneing without a gate but seems other than that should be simple enough to make.

    Other than Canelo or GGG should he move up theres no real paydays for either and this will be rolled out as a PPV in the UK somehow.

    Going of recent for. Both have looked poor but Smith should beat him unless Saunders gets in shape and can find his form again. Though itll have been nearly four years since the last time he looked good.

    I got Smith by stoppage in this one, after the 6th round.

    I feel like this is a bad style match up for Billy. He's an in out fighter who stays at mid range, and every big fight he's in apart from Lemiuex, he gets hurt in the mid rounds after getting defensively lazy.

    I can see Smith hitting him consistently with the Jab in the range that Saunders likes to stick to, I can see the damage from that accumulating, and I can see Billy Joe worrying about it more and more.

    By the mid rounds Billy does what he always does and starts slacking, he takes a wrong step, backs himself up against the ropes and gets finished on his feet controversially by Smith.

    He's not John Ryder, I dont think he's gonna split Smiths guard with straights, and I think Billy's combos can lack form at times.

    Smith wins by KO in rounds 6-9.

    I think you mean both were ducked by Canelo. No one ever ducked Canelo. He brings mucho dinero, too much to pass up. Fighters might not like the diva antics, hand picked judges and weight clauses but they usually agree because he can make them lots of money, even if they lose by questionable decision.

    Please note, I’m not a Canelo hater. He’s a skilled fighter and brings much needed excitement to the sport. I hope he stops playing games and goes back to 160 and unified.
