Nah just the dick sucking jokes again, should stray away from the drugs talk though, glass houses and all

[MightyWarrior]

Yes yes, everyone knows Canelo is a massive favourite, 7/1...I mean when is he not ? The ginger one pretty much brings five judges, including his two fists
anyway good to see someone turn up and call out the chosen one, El Gran Campeón, over his dubious training methods for a change.
He’s got some balls on him, because Canelo is going to be looking to lay a hell of a beating on him Saturday night now, that’s for sure.

[margaret thatcher]

golovkin called him on it too for the rematch

ggg 'getting to him' just made him fight better

Is Saunders the guy to be doing that though ?

[margaret thatcher]

a fellow ped user who worships a drug lord.....it is a bit silly

maybe billy could introduce saul to danny kinihan, could be quite the partnership, saul could get beef, pork, chicken, turkey, and all the works

Nope.

I suppose I just admire his chutzpah, to an extent.

Yes he’s definitely obnoxious most o the time. And most of his fights Ive given a miss because they’re so dull, overmatched undertrained etc .. though I’ll definitely be watching this one.
He might just have the belief to makes things interesting, and it’s boring seeing Canelo just beat up an endless array of opponents time after time, most beaten before the first bell even rings.

Amir Khan: Canelo is Very Quick - Sorry To Say, He Will Knock Saunders Out

"I’ve never fought in any atmosphere as overwhelming as that," Khan told Daily Mail. "There was a big crowd of Brits shouting for me but they couldn’t be heard. The Mexican sound was huge but with Canelo, there is something different about the noise. Something more powerful. Somehow it generates huge, unique energy on which he draws. Billy Joe had better be ready for it."

"Beware. Everyone who watches Canelo from outside the ring thinks he’s slow. He’s not. He’s very quick through his timing. He makes you think you are in a slow-paced fight. Believe that and you make a big mistake. You will find yourself getting hit with big shots. Body and head," Khan said.

"Being quick myself, I found it fairly easy to catch him with some good shots. But he is very good at closing down the ring and has a good chin. He is happy to take punches so that he can land really telling shots. By the time he fought me his punching was becoming really powerful. He’s gone on to prove it by winning world titles up to light heavyweight and now back down a notch at super middleweight. Billy Joe has the style that can give Canelo a few problems for a few rounds. But, sorry to say, he gets knocked out in the sixth."

Mexican fans have supernatural energy when it comes to Canelo only. It’s a thing.

[GreenLightning]

Decent summary by Khan apart from where he says people think Canelo is slow, but maybe he means his pace rather than handspeed

Bill don't give a f**k

First time i've ever seen someone get to Canelo , in fact most are just plain intimidated by him , and thanking him for the payday ,,, People saying its gonna get him mad and Billys in for an extra beatdown are wrong ,, Canelo is always gonna try and ko billy ,, what didf does it make how hard he hits you if he hits you hard anyway

Nope i keep on saying it Billy knows what he's doing and its intentionaly trying to get under his skin , like i said , before get Cheatelo to get angry and load up on his shots looking for the ko and billy will see it a mile away , little bit of tensioning of the muscles and it may slow you down just a milli second and telegraph it ... Seen the interview with Mark where he said Billy never showed for a training session ,, I don't believe it , Marks the head coach he would'nt allow it , and i doubt Billy would disrespect him that way , theve known each other too long , its just talk .

Do believe Saunders is up for this , and he does fancy his chance ,,, Khan said its suprising how fast Canelo is , but yet look at it , how long would Khan last with Billy he's china chinned anyway .

I do think cheatelo will wear him down , but i also think Billy has a good chance in this ,, Trying to ko Canelo is a waste of time , GGG could'nt do it , but out boxing him is defo possible others have done it for a period ,

Billys dad iis becoming another John Fury , someone give him a mike and they can't get it off him now ,, bet he loves kareoke

[margaret thatcher]

Canelo will pound him, amazing how much people can get out of some talking and staring, did canelo even understand him

Have you seen this? The guy is a scumbag. Mocking some poor bastard who cant speak English properly and so he cant understand what he's saying.

[margaret thatcher]

[Ruthless-RKO]

There will be 5000 fans at the weigh in

He may as well just be promoting Fury full time too.

Hearn: Saunders Has Never Boxed In Ring This Big; Canelo Had No Problem With It

As soon as Billy Joe Saunders set foot inside the boxing ring where he’s training at his hotel near AT&T Stadium, he immediately complained to Eddie Hearn.

That ring is 18 feet-by-18 feet inside the ropes, entirely too small for Saunders’ liking. There was no way, Saunders informed his promoter, that he would box arguably the best fighter, pound-for-pound, in the sport in a ring that size Saturday night.

“He just said, ‘This ring is tiny,’ Hearn told BS.com. “And I said, ‘No, no, it’s a 20-foot ring [on fight night].’ Because in the agreement, it’s just subject to commission rules. It could be 18-foot, but he said, ‘I want 20 foot-by-20 foot.’ So, I went back to Canelo and he said, ‘No problem.’ But then Billy said no to that. I actually think he asked for a 24-foot ring.”

England’s Saunders threatened to withdraw from the biggest fight of his career and a huge purse before they settled on using a ring that’ll be 22 foot-by-22 foot inside the ropes. It’ll be the biggest ring, according to Hearn, in which Saunders will have boxed in 31 professional fights.

“Obviously, Saunders moves a lot,” said Hearn, whose company co-promotes Alvarez. “But he’s never boxed in a ring this big. As much as he thinks it might be an advantage for him, his last two fights with me, against Martin Murray and on the KSI-Logan Paul card, the rings were both 18-foot. And he’s never boxed in a ring bigger than 20-foot. You can’t fight in a ring bigger than that in the UK because 20 is the maximum size [allowed by the British Boxing Board of Control]. For the Lemieux fight, which we checked, [the ring] was 20-foot inside the ropes as well. So, he’s never boxed in a ring bigger than 20. He wanted 24, but he was happy.”

“Like I said to Canelo, ‘You’re quite welcome to object,’ ” Hearn recalled. “He said, ‘It’s fine.’ I was expecting this thing to drag on until Friday. But he’s super-confident. I think that part of him wants to show that he doesn’t need a small ring. When people talk about his fights with [Austin] Trout and [Erislandy] Lara, he laughs because he thinks, ‘I can box, you know. Like, I don’t need to be in a phone box. Technically, I’m very good.’ ”

Hearn wasn’t sure how Alvarez would react when his promoter approached him Monday about Saunders’ demand for a bigger ring. Alvarez could’ve “called everyone’s bluff,” but Hearn was pleasantly surprised when the obvious ‘A’ side of this event quickly acquiesced to Saunders’ ultimatum.

“He wasn’t like, ‘Oh, I can’t believe this,’ ” Hearn said. “He was like, ‘Yeah, fine.’ [Saunders has] moaned about the judges. Obviously, he’s had his thing about the ring. I think if Canelo or [trainer Eddy] Reynoso had even a little problem, they would’ve gone, ‘No, we have to try and get [Saunders] to do this.’ But it wasn’t like that.

“I actually commend Canelo for that because it’s quite big. A lot of fighters you deal with would go, ‘I’m not bothered by that, but don’t be an idiot.’ I think psychologically, it’s quite good to say, ‘No problem,’ because if you fight back, they’re probably like, ‘Yeah, we’ve got him rattled!’ Where he was more like, ‘No problem, mate. See you Saturday. Have what you want.’ It was quite cool.”

Oh well , Ding ding , thats rnd 1 out the way ,,,, Ding Ding ,,, rnd 2 now starts with Saunders demanding a hard ring very little padding ,, Canelo saying no way you got your first rnd ,, we no give any more conseciens ,,, ding ding ....

Rnd 3 ,, heavy padding on floor ,, Saunders legs get tired , Canelo catches up and KO 'S HIM ,, sAUNDERS FINDS IT WAS ALWAYS THE PADDING THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE , , Ko for Canelo ..

[Twinkle Toes]

Saunders team are a bunch of jokers. Watching them roam around the hotel with their wife beater shirts on. It's like an episode of fkn Benidorm.

I highly doubt Alvarez gives one flying fk what Saunders gets up to. It's just shows the limit of the intelligence from Saunders that he resorts to this load of tripe time and time again. He's got little else.

Jacobs got all up in the face of Alvarez way more than Saunders has so far, but come fight night was kept in his box.
