Got my DAZN subscription. Now just gotta decide to either stay up all night on Saturday or wake up super early on Sunday to watch it.
Not a fan of Saunders (boxing or otherwise) but always love an underdog and got a feeling Canelo isn't expecting much from him.
Still think Canelo will see it through though.
Anyone else watching or listening in on 5Live?

I used to watch boxing in the 70s 80s and 90s,but so many titles to contest put a stop to that.Some fantastic lower weight fights going on then.

Canelo will win all day long. I don't even think it will be close. I think if may weather vs Canelo we're to fight in their prime Canelo would win. Mayweather fought him when he was too young.

Jimbo, while I think canelo should win I can see Saunders messing him about with his unconventional style for quite a few rounds. The glass jawed Khan was ahead till he got stiffed. Couldn’t disagree more re mayweather he would beat canelo every day of the week.

Couldn’t disagree more re mayweather he would beat canelo every day of the week. Canelo has fought everyone and beaten pretty much everyone. Even fights that have got dirty and people thought he wouldn't win... Ie against GGG. He has fought at different weights and still wins. He quite rightly goes down as one of the best ever. He can take a punch and also has a good punch. His knockout ratio is very good. Saunders is a difficult fighter as you say but I think canelo has fought that before. Saunders I don't think has had the opposition like canelo has had. To me Saunders needs to step up alot to win this and I just don't see it happening especially with his mind games he has employed its fired canelo up. Plus Saunders is a complete idiot and I hope he gets knocked out. |

Saw the title and thought you were comparing a pasta dish with a comedy star.

Jimbo, can’t deny Canelos credentials, and like you I think Saunders is not a likeable person.

I woke up at 4:15 to watch it.
Saunders can consider himself unlucky and was fighting a really good fight.
I'm not Saunders biggest fan at all but I gotta give him his dues there. The momentum was with him going into the later rounds.
That said it was a great punch from Canelo that seemed to affect Saunders vision more than it should have. Think it fractured his eye socket.
He just couldn't see and the corner rightly pulled him out.

Not sure if you can ever really come back from that sort of thing. Really plays on a boxers mind in future fights. |

I made Saunders well in front , canelo just couldn’t get his shots off and the fight went exactly as I expected , Saunders winning early rounds but the canelo catching up with him.

Looking at the judges scorecards they all had canelo up. Judges scores we can all sometimes take with a pinch of salt tho. I like bunce and castello on BBC and they both seem to suggest canelo was in control and slowly turning the screw. Sometimes the beauty of boxing is the different points of view. Whereas we can all agree orient have been p00p this year 🤣 |
