    I honestly think BJS has a serious chance of outboxing him - and think he's very underrated by many - whether he can keep it up for the full 12, God knows. Maybe I'm an idiot. I probably am an idiot. :pac:

    Looking forward to it though.

    Canelo is an excellent boxer as well as boxer/fighter...

    Saunders will land next to nothing on offence, unless Canelo is so nonchalant and simply does not care what Suanders hits him with

    It will be a walk down quit job beating....

    eazy night...Saunders cannot outbox Canelo, or outfight him

    Run, hold, spoil and pitter patter until he gets taken out, or loses very wide on the cards

    I do think Saunders has more than most give him credit for but just think Canelo will really be too much for him.

    Looking forward to it, will even sign up to DAZN incase i nod off so i can get the replay next morning.

    BJs is a very good boxer but for whatever reasons he just never got his career going at the very top end ,( I know he is a world champion)

    Down to himself and sometimes others he never got enough quality opponents to really kick on ,
    He kind a built himself up but then never took the final step to fighting top tier guys consistently ,

    I have 50 on Canelo to win. I would love to see Saunders do it, but I just can't see it happening. BJS certainly does get up for the occasion but Canelo has been mixing with a much higher class of opponent for a much longer period of time. Hard to think that BJS, who crash dieted to get down to weight /really hasn't been active enough / has been competing against lower level opponents, will cause him any issues.

    Just me or has Canelo head and jaw grown year on year while still managing to be chiselled


    The Mexican beef is some powerful stuff ,

    That you, Billy Joe?

    This is exactly what Saunders (a drugs cheat) will say when he's laid out!!!

    He has grown....it happens....you mature and fill out as you age..

    Blocky and stocky build....

    Still a small SMW fighter....

    Canelo is a 160 lbs fighter really....

    Betway offering 2/1 on a Canelo finish. Seems tasty to me, although there will be a stake limit on that price.

    Would love to see a good competitive fight, but don't think we will. Fancy Saul to dominate and eventually take him out.

    Nice to see the support act being a world title fight between Soto and Katayama at flyweight. Should be a good one.

    Just looking at the weigh ins. Don't know any of the undercard at all. You would have thought that they would have had at least one other star on the bill given the massive main event and first time 70k in a stadium. No idea why they didn't stack the card.

    Saunders very confident in the face off. He's got massive confidence, but I think this is a bridge too far for him. And a bridge too far for everybody tbh.

    Few very good prospects being shown in the early fights from 10.30pm. Keyshawn Davis the standout.

    How the he’ll do you get DAZN?! Is there a Sky Q app or channel? Saunders looks in great shape anyhow so I’m gonna have a look at Canelo to stop him after 6. I fancy round 8 but it’s hard to pick the round

    App Store, Smart TVs, Games Consoles, Fire stick, Chromecast etc. It's harder to not get it to be honest

    There is a free month for Dazn if you sign up...might be worth doing the month and then cancelling it after. I really only want to watch this fight.

    It is $20 a month subscription. If the fight alone is just 2 then I will do that of course.

    *Note, I live in Canada, so it might be a different subscription policy.

    They're saying 4am. DAZN have been decent getting fights to start on scheduled time in the past so hopefully not much later than that.

    I think it'll go thr distance and it'll be close

    BJS is a lot better than he is getting credit for here that's for sure

    But he hasn’t shown anything against proper world class opposition for people to say how he’ll fare here..

    He could show it later, but until he does, I don’t see it as odd, or unfair to him to have him a clear underdog..

    He gets credit for what he has shown to in his career, not what he may or could show.
