What are your guys predictions ?

I think BJS will win some early rounds but be stopped around round 9/10 or possible survive & go the distance and lose on points,

I think he will try to run, hide and spoil and will succeed in that for a time because he has got some good technical skills but I think he will get caught in the mid to late rounds and stopped, all week I've been thinking round 6/7 but I will say probably round 9. I don't think he will see the final bell, I'll be surprised if he does anyway.

I don't think he has anything to trouble Canelo, or discourage him from walking him down and I can see him getting caught and punished when he starts to tire from the forward pressure in his face.

Watching some of the pre fight videos, my god is there a more unlikeable character than Saunders?

I'd usually root for any kind of underdog, but the man is remarkably obnoxious.

You can see some guys do it to build the fight etc.. but he is just awful.

Seeing them all sitting around the hotel lobby, they will need industrial cleaners to get rid of the waft of testosterone and bullsh*t when their crew leave.

Wouldn't be surprised if Fury is on a wind up with him aswell, filling his head with nonsense knowing he will get dominated. The machismo is gas.

Saunders old man giving lip to Canelo at the face off yesterday.
The absolute cut of him.

It's an interesting topic, the concession will no doubt be seen as a win by BJS, its all mind games, in his mind he's already 1 round up.

I could see Billy winning a good few of the early rounds and then going on the run. If it goes the distance he'll have a chance but I'd fancy the Mexican to get a stoppage around 9/10.

I honestly think he was hoping it might get to Canelo and his team - doesn't seem to bother them. Maybe I am mistaken but that is supreme confidence from the Canelo side.

BJS looking at losing his belt and record - seen the odds were 7 to 1 on for Canelo - pretty steep.

I literally watched a clip of him yesterday saying everything was sorted and what was agreed at the start is whats happening, is that a concession?

They're going with the 22ft ring when 20 ft had been agreed. Canelo has agreed to it.

Why did Saunders say yesterday that everything was sorted and that everything was the way it was agreed from the start if there was any change?

To be even clearer, if he had gotten some concession don't you think he would have crowed about it as he was talking on camera being interviewed?

Edit: Ill dig for the video link after work

Probably the most deluded person I’ve ever seen, he thinks he’s 1 up but everyone else in the world knows he’d love an opportunity to duck this. Have never hoped a boxer would get really hurt in the ring before but fcukin hell I do hope Canelo retires him here with a great amount of both physical and mental pain as a send off gift.

From that it seems that Eddie is saying there was an initial misunderstanding over the ring size on his end (and Saunders) and nothing to do with Canelo or his team and when he went back and said theres a problem Canelo said straight away yeah no bother.

Can't for the life of me find the video.

Is this the same man that said Daniel Kinahan is a top bloke that never did anything wrong? Clearly a man to be trusted on his word haha.

The video a few posts back with the Hearne says all that needs be said.

BJS was being a whiney b1tch and Canelo doesn't seem to give a rats ass. That may be why he didn't want to continue the conversation, it seems to only have upset and affected him and his camp.

It will give BJS a better chance than he had - more running room

If you have a DAZN subscription can you just put the fight on at any time you want Sunday morning?

Too hell with that - crack open the whiskey and shout at the telly when everyone else is in bed.

Got to keep some traditions alive

SHOVELLER

Saunders is not standing up for himself. Cant believe anyone would fall for that laughable narrative. He's been found out with the ring size BS. If it wasnt that it would be the arena lights or not enough tickets for his goons or Canelo ate too much.

The funniest thing is Canelo is more or less yawning with this crap and Saunders is too stupid to notice.

Love to see him sparked but going for UD.

begbysback

I’ll believe he’ll fight fight him when I see him in the ring after the bell goes, until then it’s very possible the snake will wiggle out of this one.

Anyone see bookies odds on the fight not happening?

Quick question on DAZN. Well a few.

So it's 1.99 a month in Ireland.
The fights included in that price and catch up is available anytime next day.
Is it device specific or a sign in 1 user job on any device?
Is it browser or app based?

Will have the fight live on my TV service but was thinking I would sign up just incase the whiskey gets the better of me on the night Haha.

If anyone has used/uses the info would be much appreciated

I'm the same but I'm just after looking it up on their website. For 1.99 is a great deal. It's all on the homepage when you scroll down.
Devices are your usual TVs, Samsung, LG etc.
Chromecast, fire stick, Xbox, PlayStation, phone. Be harder find a device without the app available
Seems a great job.

Nobody is backing Saunders as heavily as Fury..

Fury says it will be an easy smashing..

Aren't they related so not surprised to be hearing that.

Might as well be confident pre fight, if he doesn't think he can win he's got no business in the ring.

My bet is they don't even like each other. Competitive family rivalry. The fact Fury is saying he will smash him only ups the pressure on BJS and there will obviously be certain level of embarrassment on his end when he loses.

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.

What are you basing that on though?

He fought a shot Andy Lee who has since admitted his head wasn't in a good place for that fight. David Lemieux? Levels below Canelo.

I hope you are right as would love a competitive fight. He does look in great shape and his head is screwed on for this one. Nobody gave Lopez a chance against Loma, but Canelo is a different animal.

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
