Re: Canelo Saunders

I dont think hes got into Canelos head either.

Still hoping he can pull off a shock win though.

Re: Canelo Saunders

I think Saunders is a bit of a dickhead gypsy or not.

There is a video out there now of him disrespecting a Mexican reporter who is interviewing him. He needs to grow up a bit. Nothing to do with his background.

Being a complete arse is not being bonkers and off the scale. It is like he has never grown up. Maybe if he takes a pasting from Canelo it might force him to.
People view others in different ways. You think he is bonkers off the scale. Others think he is an arse. Each to their own.

Saunders is an arsehole, that's a given, some of the things that he has said are disgraceful. I'd wager that there's something not quite right with him, it's like he's got ADHD or Tourettes. He's been fined the best part of 230 grand and he still can't shut it.

I want him to win purely for boxing reasons, Canelo has been done for Juicing as well, and he got off lightly. Canelo is brilliant, but because boxing is pure business, he gets what he wants, he's the biggest PPV draw and money talks, so the commissions, Promoters, TV companies and his opponents have to give in to his demands, like catch weights, rehydration clauses etc. It's his tune or nothing. Golovkin beat him in the first fight and the second was very close. Lara gave Canelo problems and lost, and Floyd only won on a split decision, watch that fight back, Floyd won 9 rounds and the others were close.

So, i'm backing Saunders, not because i endorse what he says, but because if he won, it would cause a meltdown in Boxing. Saunders wont win, even if it's close, he'll have to level Canelo, which isn't going to happen.

Re: Canelo Saunders

It's a shame they can't both lose.

So Canelo did what he said he was gonna do.
Seemed to be biding his time in order to do it.
He predicted rounds 8&9, and came on really strong. Saunders eye injury looks bad.

Broken orbital bone being reported. Think that’s the same as Kell Brook had, longtime out or retirement

Shame about the eye injury. I thought Saunders boxed well (I only saw extended highlights). THAT punch that did his eye didn't really rock Saunders, he wasn't leggy after it and looked comfortable.

Saunders put up a better fight than Smith, but Canelo always looked as though he could step it up at anytime, and did.

Re: Canelo Saunders

For the first time in a very long time I want a British fighter to get beaten by a foreign fighter.

I honestly can't remember when that was the case before, if ever.

And the dream comes true, along with a bust eye socket an injury he may not come back from ?

Canelo is a real class boxing act,seen a few Brits off now severn I hink

Re: Canelo Saunders

Canelo knew hed done the damage as soon as the punch landed.

Saunders put up a good performance and was trying to win not just survive.

Lack of power was a big problem. Some nice boxing but just didnt have the power to trouble him.

Canelos punches were spiteful and even if he didnt inflict the eye injury those body shots were going to add up and im sure Canelo would have been a clear winner.

Re: Canelo Saunders

I find it quite funny that he quit after the stick he gave Dubois.

Re: Canelo Saunders

I thought the ring size was standard? ie. there is a legal size that it has to comply with.

No its not standard. Think minimum is 16ft and max 24. Something like that. Last nights was 22ft and the commentators said it was the largest BJS had boxed in.

All the fight went from him when that punch landed. Canelo raised his arms as well as he knew the damage that had been done. Both knew there was a serious injury.

If I rember Dubois eye injury was more a sustained pounding with the jab from Joyce.

Boxers really should think twice about commenting on quitting.

We all love a blood and guts fight but when all is said and done it could mean losing their sight or whatever.

It isn't much of a trade off. Not when he is going to lose anyway on the cards.

Re: Canelo Saunders

It will be interesting to see if he comes back.

Kell Brook was never the same after a similar injury and it happened again in fights after the initial injury.
