    I think that Canelo will stop him with a body shot at some point.

    The ladies with the tape measure showed it standing proud at 8 inches long with good width unanimous decision before I knocked them out. You know what CST80 you can be a prat but you are growing on me.

    Probably goes 12, but I hope Canelo finishes him off inside the distance.

    Depends how he approaches the fight, it's possible.

    I personally think Canelo breaks him down and stops him late.

    It will be a boring fight with Saunders running around the ring pot-shotting and Canelo blocking most shots off his high guard waiting to counter, however BJS was badly hurt in his last bout and Canelo is a fantastic counter puncher and might sto him late after 9 or so dreary rounds.

    BJS is even more of a wild card than Fury. We haven’t seen the good BJS in so long, it makes you wonder if that guy will ever appear again. He was fun to watch but theaters version looks to be sloppy and out of shape. Canelo seems to be getting better with each fight and is very disciplined.

    I voted yes, but if BJS isn’t in the best shape of his life, he will not see the final round. Canelo is a very skilled fighter who is always in top shape. He’s also a great body puncher and I expect him to work BJS’s body hard in this one and test his fitness level. BJS is going to have to fight the fight if his life to win this one or to make it to the end. Fury resurrected his career, let’s see if his fellow gypsy can do the same. I hope he does because it makes for some interesting matchups.

    Jacobs when orthodox, loses almost every second of those rounds, in the second half, when he turns southpaw. He wins most of those.

    Who has BJS fought since David Lemieux that has motivated him to train to be at his best? Canelo is the biggest possible match for Saunders, probably for the rest of his career. Many of you are assuming that Saunders is out of shape, or not in the best possible shape, but all signs indicate that Saunders is training like never before and will be in the best shape of his career, certainly the best version of himself since fighting David Lemieux possibly ever.

    You claim that Canelo will work BJS's body hard. Have you ever seen Saunders fight? He's not an easy fighter to land body shots on. He's quick, he's awkward, he's elusive. Canelo will have a very difficult time landing body shots on this guy. He might have to try and trap Saunders on the ropes. I think you and many others are severely underestimating Saunders motivation which will have him in tip top shape come May and his difficulty as an opponent for Canelo when he's in that kind of shape.

    I felt this way like 3 years ago. Not so positive now.

    This fight would've been interesting a couple years ago.

    BJS milking the MW title, pulling out of fights, and fighting inconsistently is interesting to you? The man is regressing.

    No he hasn't, but he also hasn't had the opportunity to fight a top level opponent like Canelo. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for Saunders and he knows this is his career defining fight. I predict he will surprise all the doubters by being in tip top shape and giving Canelo a very competitive match.

    Some fighters do not train hard or get into their best shape unless they are fighting the best. Look at Mayweather, he got himself into incredible shape for Canelo, but then barely trained for Maidana and looked like a shell of himself and almost lost. Saunders knows he has to put himself through hell in this training camp.
