This might not make sense until next week but, hopefully, then it will.
Saunders will do way better in this fight than most people think because it's the first fight as a pro that he is prepared to lose. The judges will not rump him either.

I thinking that this will be a good fight. BJS probably won't win, but I'm guessing he'll give Pednelo fits during the fight.

I'm trying to think if any other fighter in the past has come off a string of poor performances to beat a top five pound for pound ?

If the judges were impartial billy joe wins. Unfortunately though we know nobody gets a fair go on the cards against Canelo so he will lose.

Good point, me neither. But I think he'll rise to the occasion. Again, he won't win.

To have any chance he'll have to perform way above anything he's ever done in his whole career,which is possible I suppose,how much are Americans being charged to watch it ?

At least it's not in Vegas. So the fight is even in rounds going in. Not the usual 4 round headstart for Saul.

Usual DAZN pricing as far as I know, so one time (one month) $19.99

I'm more worried about the crowd. Even the normally polite Canadians were ready to burn the stadium down from boredom and frustration during the Lemieux fight

Same. Though I can think of guys who've had their best moments when in that position but lost.

Frustration maybe but surely not boredom, their home man was thoroughly humiliated

There was a constant grumble from about round 3 onwards. Like a large group of Yorkshiremen had been told the concession stands were charging a 2 pence surcharge
