Topic: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Billy Joe Saunders - May 8 - page 2. (Read 1455 times)
Nice win for the KO bet, I thought it was a close fight but Saunders got careless and tired in the early rounds. I hope he is okay, it looks like his eye was seriously injured that he cannot continue the fight. congrats to the winners, especially those who made the right prediction.
Just think how the world of boxing would think if Canelo would lose, all praise will be on Saunders and he will be up for big fights after.
The boxing industry has seen a lot of upsets in the past if ever Alvarez lose the boxing world will be in shock but they know that this is not unexpected and it happens, if Saunders beat Canelo it will be his biggest legacy he has stopped the train hype, Canelo knows what is at stake on this fight, and he knows the boxing world expect him to deliver, which he never fails to do.
Yes, we have seen a lot of upset in the recent months but i do think that it won't happen to Canelo Alvarez as he is too good at the moment and never underestimate his opponent which is a very good trait that a boxer should have.
Betting for Saunders is so tempting with the odds now at the bookies but i will stick to my instinct that this will still be a Canelo show via unanimous decision.
Wow, good luck on your bet man, you have already lock and loaded it. That's decent odds, last time it was a UD win by Canelo, so he is not really a big KO artist and there's a good chance that he will just box his opponent here and win an easy UD.
I put my bet in the last minute mate, and after I put in, the market closes so I was just lucky to get my bet inside:
But just like the rest of you guys, I was still looking for more action, Saunder was jabbing his way and then going inside and hitting Canelo with his left. Unfortunately, he has made one mistake, that is ducking around to avoid Canelo's straight but Canelo is wise to always pull that uppercut and hit Saunder multiple time to close that eye.
I have Canelo winning by 2 points in my unofficial scorecard. I agree that he had his moments and winning rounds, Saunders proved to be tricky for Canelo in the beginning. But once he adjusted, he started to hit good jabs too. In the beginning it was Saunders who are clipping Canelo with jabs, but once he got his rhythm, body attacks and then the upper cut, it was imminent that Canelo will win here.
Saunders is really very good in the early rounds, he is employing the same tactics Mayweather used when he beat Canelo, but unfortunately, it will not work anymore, he is facing a very mature Canelo, who knows what to do in the ring against any opponents I don't think any boxer in the middleweight can beat him he is the undisputed middleweight world champion.

That was a really disappointing ending. Billy Joe was more competitive than many expected and then he abruptly quit. Apparently he suffered an eye injury and that was the reason for the stoppage.
The next opponent for Canelo should be Caleb Plant to crown an undisputed champion. Plant doesn't have a great resume so I'm not expecting very much from him but he does move around a lot and could find a way to win some rounds.

Very disappointing indeed as i lost my bet lol, could have won if Saunders didn't quit on his stoll.
With due respect to Caleb Plant, i don't think he has the tools to beat Canelo and their fight is just a formality for Canelo on taking his IBF belt. Saunders is the fighter who have the best chance to beat Canelo and it's evident on this one and i don't think there will be a rematch here.
Saunders is doing great in the early rounds his showboating is doing great until Canelo's keeps coming in and made damage to his body and face, there's really a big difference between a guy who can duck punches and a guy who can hit hard, those hard punches are making a toil to Saunders body and face, he has no choice, his eyes are busted and he is not winning rounds anymore, there are no plans anymore it will go to trash when you got those hard punches.
Sooner or later he will be knock out by Alvarez. He seems to be playing around and putting his hands down, but it doesn't score points. Alvarez is going strong as the round progresses, and I think it's the right call for Saunders and his team.
That eyes is closing and another hit could really damage it. No need to go to another round, it's the right decision. It will be the same for Caleb Plant, will show good early until he got hit by those brick hands by Alvarez.

Maybe if he didn't have eye injury, he would have continued the fight. But it says that his right eye is swelling badly so his camp decided not to continue. A rematch may likely happen. Let us see if Saunders' camp will ask for another match...

Damn on you Saunders, why quit when the fight is close and you still could won it damn.
You only have the mouth and not the heart of the champion that most of the fighters have, better retire.
Canelo won via TKO....

I haven't put any bet yet because I'm leaning that Canelo might win by KO here, just a question of which round. In any case this will be very exciting, two very high caliber boxer.
Seems i'm the only one thinking that Saunders can survive and go to the distance with Canelo lol.
Boxing analyst Dan Rafael and Amir Khan both predicted Canelo to knockout Saunders.
I have a gut feeling that Saunders will be in survival mode and would not engage Canelo early and save his energy running until the championship rounds hehe. Good luck to us.
Waiting for this match also as I have place a small bet.
These 2 boxers are really good ones so I believe we will see a very good toe-to-toe fight.
Canelo is the favorite here but it will not be an easy fight for him.
But their tickets is not yet sold out - https://twitter.com/EddieHearn/status/1391141834135584769 ?
People don't want to go out??
Obviously, Canelo is the favourite here but I do agree that it won't be an easy fight, Saunders is also that good that it can give Canelo problems early. So it's a matter of who adjusted in this fight and take advantage of someone's mistake.
I haven't place a bet here to be honest, but I think Canelo got this by KO or by decision. The KO though is more attractive against the decision odds, but the latter is safer to bet.

This is a fight that I want to watch I hope we have a member here who can give us the link to the fight, there are Facebook live from members but they are easily takedown by Facebook and some of them are links directed for an upgrade before you can watch a fight, I hate people doing analysis on Youtube, they don't really give the real picture with their commentary.
The time has come, it's fight day, good luck to everyone who whoever fighter you are rooting.
I'm sure most of us here are rooting for Canelo Alvarez to win, but I'm hoping for a good fight here, I want to see a split decision if possible, or KO.

Here's the official weigh-in:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdvA5obGF9o
Saunders doing some trash talk or just feeling confident. Less than 48 hours from now, we will see if Canelo can continue his streak and clean up the division or will Saunders be the man to defeat him. 70,000 are expected to watch the fight live tomorrow so get your bet and lock in.

With what Canelo achieved I don't think anything can intimidate him, Saunders can do and talk anything outside of the ring but inside the ring, I don't think Canelo will give him a chance to be confident, Canelo is so good at taking away confidence of his opponent on the first minutes of the fight, Tyson is so right when he says

Everyone has a plan 'till they get punched in the mouth
Saunders will realize this.

And with that boosted odd, it's really tempting not to bet on Canelo by decision here.
Yes, Alvarez really learn a lot from fighting no name opponents and high caliber fighters, you don't underestimate them because with just punch the game will change.

We also saw some of the upsets in the history of boxing but I don't think that this will be one of the greatest upsets that will ever happen.
Canelo by decision is a low risk high reward for me just by seeing the odds of it. I also believe that this fight will end up in a decision. If Saunders will just run and run from start to end, this will end up into a decision. I like the attitude of Canelo though that he isn't doing some trashtalking to his opponents. He lets his fists do the speaking instead of his mouth doing it. Very excited to see this fight
