Well great advice but does f.all for me now.
Any competent channel would ensure they make registering for its only event that's ever been worth paying for as easy as can be on the day of the event. Glad they aren't a company that doesn't usually broadcast anything worth watching
Its over 6 hours before the program starts.

Meh, I can see another Lara type fight. Maybe not quite as negative, but similar. The road maps to beating Canelo laid down by Floyd and Lara are pretty negative.


There's a real danger of a massive disappointment tomorrow night.
agreed. interested to see how Canelo works out Saunders. the late rounds will be survival for BJS though

This has controversy points decision to Canelo written all over it.
Billy ain't glass jaw Khan, and that's the last guy Canelo knocked out.
And so far, no pro has knocked Billy down.

Nah, Floyd stayed in the pocket and picked Alvarez apart. Lara was very negative especially down the stretch. Lara didn't beat Alvarez IMO and that fight also happened damn near a decade ago.

I guess what I remember most are the last two rounds where Canelo held the centre of the ring urging Floyd to engage as Floyd danced around him in circles throwing the odd jab from range, but mostly dancing to the crowd booing... :maybe:

Nate’s recollection is correct.

Floyd was surprisingly flat-footed for the vast majority of Canelo bout.

are you on the bill train mate?

imagine that your daughter/son died of cancer, and someone made a dig at you about it. wouldnt that person seem like total scum? what if you were walking down the street minding your own business, then the same knob yells out to everyone that you're a pedofile, and calls on people to attack you, which they do, while he laughs away and films it?

that's only about 1/8th of why ppl dont like the dood, straight up knobhead...i really dont understand why ppl would hope a guy like that wins just to annoy pp on the internet, well actually, it makes perfect sense that someone like that would support bill, birds of a feather :lol:

I don't think I've ever seen BJS fight, besides highlights. That being said, I don't like Canelo all that much. BJS sounds like a real heel though. Should help the PPV numbers get up a bit though, eh?

TBF, I don't really care too much who wins this fight. The landscape doesn't much interest me anymore.

isnt it on dazn? not ppv

i just dont understand why any reasonable person, especially someone who considers themselves a loving respectful person and familyman, would cheer on such a scumbag. i mean how low do you have to be to mock a guy for losing his daughter to cancer? to call a random old man passing by a pedo and encourage ppl to attack him. to phone up dudes and describe in explicit detail how you f@cked their wife, and to film all this and post it publically to humiliate them. it goes on and on and on

total scumshite bag, the people who think all that is funny prob are just his type


the things ppl usually rag on canelo for pretty much all apply to bjs too. bill has been housefighter nearly all his career, he's gotten generous judging before, he's used peds before, etc etc......but of course he's been far more protected than canelo has.. canelo has had the balls to take on a murderers row but bjs cant say the same

Sry dude. Didn't mean to hit a soft spot. As I eluded to earlier, I know jack all about the man except he said a man's breath was sh!t. I was unaware of his preceding behavior. If he's as bad as you say, I wouldn't like him much either. Luckily I don't follow the man.

BJS probably never expected Canelo to break his face either.
Yes, some fighters have kept fighting with similar injuries but not everybody can do that.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Hopefully that's the last we see of him in a ring as well. Boxing is far better off without the likes of him.

No shame in this RTD, the damage suffered by him looked nasty enough. Anyway, Canelo controled the fight indeed, he was a better fighter this night, with the superior handspeed, power and timing.

Canelo shut Andrade up in style.

Andrade is trying to receive a good payday, but the mofo should fight some living bodies first.

Actually, Saunders-Andrade still sounds interesting.

mmmm, really. Doesn’t matter if he’s got a glass jaw. BJ Saunders was rocked and hurt by Isufi. fornicate sake, even granite chinned GGG was backed up Canelo. He has serious pop.

The game plan was perfect, the thudding body shots got BJ to respect his power and to slow his legs.

BJ is an asshole. A complete cock with some terrible views and behaviour.

I gave BJ two rounds, perhaps three.

In the eighth, Canelo put his foot down, broke his face and BJ quit. Something he mocked Kell Brook and Dubious about horribly.

A broken orbital bone is bad, but fighters have continued with that injury. I’m not he should’ve, but you reap what you sow.

Pity GGG and Mayweather are past their prime. Would’ve been nice seeing those fights with Canelo prime for prime.
