The Best Thing About This Fight

Don't sell yourself short. You have some good knowledge. You know what you're talking about.

 

Yep, them baby boomers couldn't handle their child not getting the same trophy as those who won. Soccer mom's cried from the mountain tops and the boomers in charge agreed, just like that they became the participation trophy generation. Quite funny. Them darn Starbucks cups are just too offensive for em.

 

The usual suspects' crystal balls are, well, crystal clearly not working!

 

True.

 

Here’s another perspective. It doesn’t matter if a round is close or not. What matters is who wins each one. So while Canelo may have been setting up his shots, he was still losing rounds because he was less active many times. His shots may have had more power but his activity rate was not high enough to make a difference. It was a close fight until the stoppage. I had it even up to that point.

 

yeah I’m good with even score cards at the time of the stoppage I figured he had won 3 possibly 4 rounds.

not that any of it mattered as Canelo’s game plan was to get him out of there even if it meant sacrificing some rounds ... so be it.

It was a good fight.

 

I noticed that. Very trainable. The question is, do you believe he is good at adapting on the fly?

 

Sure was. Saunders was a quality opponent. He was not an easy win at all. BJS was putting in serious work. Just didn’t have the firepower to match up. I think he would have had a better chance to win a decision at 160 about 3 years ago. Never cared for his troll antics but the guy knows his way around the ring. Definitely an underrated fighter IMO.

 

yeah he was definitely better at 160lbs. At least after he beat lemiieux.

But that was his best victory.
We’ll see what he’s got left in the tank. if he can come back from this.
