Round-by-Round: Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez vs. Billy Joe Saunders - May 8, 2021

[lazboy]

I got a feeling it's going to be a pro Canelo crowd.

Of course it is.. no question about it

Lol!

calo-oy

is that like 2 names, or 1 name

[Enlightened-One]

Let’s get it on!

[Enlightened-One]

Noisy crowd!

[chucktaylor]

Great, the DAZN feed went to shit during ref's instructions. Is anyone else having issues?
My stream was great throughout the whole card, but now it is screwing up of course before the important part.

[Enlightened-One]

Canelo’s body shots or Saunders jabs? Hard to call.

10-9 to Saunders, because Canelo was too patient.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Canelo round. Better shots landed overall. Saunders did miss a few as well

[ironbeard]

10-9 Canelo. Very close.

[gregregegg]

Saunders edged that for me. Canelo hit harder but only a couple and to the body.

[Evander]

Round 1

BJS landed more and just about takes the round.
Canelo is making it look easy getting this close this early, not a good sign for BJS.

1-0 Saunders

10-9 Saunders

[Enlightened-One]

Canelo’s stalking is keeping the pressure on Saunders, even if he’s not throwing.

Canelo is too patient, but his shots are eye catching when he does throw.

Billy Joe was more negative in this round.

The Brit needs to relax and fight his own fight, otherwise he’ll wilt under pressure.

Canelo’s won the second round for me.

19-19.

[gregregegg]

Close but clear to canelo 1-1 for me

[ironbeard]

10-9 Canelo
20-18 Canelo

[KiwiRider]

Canelo in control here. I don't think Billy has anything to bother him with.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Canelo rd2

[tiny_acres]

Canelo wins rd 2 clearly
19-19

[Evander]

Round 2

This isn't going 12.
Canelo clearly dominated that session.
BJS looking shaky.

1-1

[sir123]

BJS gonna need to do a lot more to get the judges attention.

[hhaehre]

Easy 2nd for Canelo without really going hard

[Ruthless-RKO]

Canelo dominating now

[Jeff_lacy_ko]

Bj needs to sit down on punches but that aint bjs

[gregregegg]

Another clear but not massive round for canelo 2-1.

Billy is going to get tired moving back so much and biting on faints plus getting body shotted.

[tiny_acres]

Canelo wins rd 3
29-27 Canelo

[Enlightened-One]

A tough round to score.

It’s hard not to be swayed by the crowd whenever Canelo lands.

10-10. The sheer volume of Saunders jabs just about did enough to cancel out Canelo’s flashier bigger blows.

29-29
