Yes. ChappyHova or Simon may disagree but as much as I dislike him, BJS is a really skillful boxer. Really, really skillful. He's not had a good challenge for a while but he tends to always rise to the quality of his opponent. I've never known how good his jaw is but then Canelo isn't necessarily a big hitter at this weight. My money would be on BJS doing enough to at least deserve a draw and losing 118-110 on the cards.

I don't think it's going to be the easy ride that some seem to think it'll be for Canelo but at the same time I don't think Saunders causes as many problems for him as others seem to think either. Saunders is a very, very good fighter but Canelo is absolutely elite. I see BJS proving tricky for the first 3 or 4 rounds but then Canelo figuring him out and taking control of the fight from that point on. Canelo is an expert at making the ring small for his opponent (part of the reason BJS was whinging about ring size no doubt) and BJS doesn't carry significant power so Canelo is going to be pretty happy to walk him down and keep constant pressure on him. Close rounds will go to Canelo because he's going to be the aggressor in most rounds and it's also just the way it goes.
All things considered I think BJS will fight well but Canelo takes a fairly comfortable points decision.

That's a broken eye socket if ever I've seen one.
Commentary and one of the scorecards seemed bizarre to me in their generosity to BJS. I had Saunders winning the 5th and 6th round but the rest were Canelo's for me. He put some really nice stuff together in the middle rounds but everything meaningful came from Canelo.

Does anyone, other than butthurt Wilder fans, genuinely want to see Fury vs Wilder 3? Outclassed in the first fight and absolutely battered in the second, there is no question as to who the superior boxer is. This should not be standing in the way of Fury vs Johsua.

isnt it just a money grab by Wilder? even he doesnt want to fight tyson again cos his career would be finished as a big time boxer. he knows he'll get a money offer to step aside and let the AJ fight happen

He's probably happy with either a payout or another big fight, his stock is at an all time low and only a fight with Fury or Joshua will bring in decent money or interest for him.
Hoping he doesn't price himself out of a payout and they just pay him to fuck off.

Bob Arum is a fraud and doesn't want Fury to fight Joshua. The amount of Wilder fanboys who've been silent for 18 months yet who are now giving it the big one is hilarious though. And likewise people who kept saying Joshua was ducking him.

Arum is a fucking amateur. How are you announcing a fight when there's still arbitration pending. Makes Fury look like a mug too.

Pacquiao's social media is all saying a fight is on with Spence for 21st August.
Dude is 42 and still more than happy to fight top P4P fighters in their prime.

Weird fight - genuinely don't know who I'd fancy. Pacquaio is Pacquaio, Spence at his best you'd favour would beat him up but no idea what that crash did to him.

So Fury v Joshua is only happening when they’re both well past it, right?

Eddie Hearn moved from Sky to DAZN. Subbed for the Canelo Saunders fight and only cost £2 a month. Surely no chance they keep it that low with him there.

Pacquaio vs Spence is off due to an eye injury to Spence. I don't know why I bother looking forward to fights anymore

Worry for Spence tbh, he's had some rotten injuries in recent years right when he should be putting together the highlight reel of fights.
There is a proper lull at the moment, nobody for Canelo, Fury taking the piss, Crawford not arsed. Joshua Usyk better deliver.
