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

[gregregegg]

Eyes gone was that a hook or head? Both happened in close succession I thought. But fornicate that sucks as a Finnish.

[Enlightened-One]

77-76 to Canelo.

The eye damage seems bad.

[Jeff_lacy_ko]

Billie the beeyatch

[Ruthless-RKO]

His eye was gone!

It looks like the doctor trying to find his eye might

[BROZO]

the damage looks more like a thumb

[margaret thatcher]

i had it 6-2 canelo, bjs took a shellacking that final round

[Evander]

The way BJS is squinting strongly suggests his reason for not going on might be an eye injury.

[margaret thatcher]

did the doctor retire him or did he quit?

[Jeff_lacy_ko]

He quit

Yeh. Canelo took rd7 off.. BJS got confident. Round 8 was dominating from Canelo.

Canelo didn’t even sit on his stool.

[Ruthless-RKO]

did the doctor retire him or did he quit?

He quit

He never got off his stool. They were still trying their best to sort his eye out. If you don’t get up after the minute is up, fights over.

[Evander]

Decent win for Canelo, I think this will look good for him.

[JxhDel.]

That eye...

[JxhDel.]

That was still sublime by BJ, he is not a bluff... props to Nelo who arose from some nasty puzzles

[BROZO]

Canelo seem to be hard to like once you get past the Nationalism of Messican- Americans. He keeps winning and it is no fault of his own but he makes it hard to like for some reason.

[Enlightened-One]

Saunders immediate reaction to Canelo’s huge right uppercut, his wincing face, suggested a broken or orbital or damaged cheek.

[KiwiRider]

Billy was done, eye or not.
Canelo was on his toes ready to finish him.
Way better fight than I was expecting

[lankester]

BJ was solid, however he is not at Alvarez level. Alvarez is too complete.

[Cent0089]

Canelo will be in the gym tomorrow. Saunders was tough fight. Fun fight. Plant is going down in september, Then hopefully fight with Charlo will happen. NO BOXING NO LIFE !!!!!!

[lazboy]

Question is, who is at Alvarez’s level?

[KiwiRider]

Soo... Plant lookin at a payday

[KiwiRider]

Question is, who is at Alvarez’s level?

Bivol?

[lazboy]

Question is, who is at Alvarez’s level?

Bivol?

If he is, it’s unproven.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Billy was done, eye or not.
Canelo was on his toes ready to finish him.
Way better fight than I was expecting

He wasn’t even sat on his stool. He was ready to go for the kill

[Ruthless-RKO]

78-74
77-75
77-75

Official scorecards at time of stoppage

All for Canelo.
