I predicted a Canelo decision, possibly controversial. I thought Saunders would be slick and defensive enough to last to the end. But that counter right uppercut... god damn.
Canelo was planting his feet and really torquing his whole body into those single power shots.
Whatever delicious Mexican beef he's eating is working out for him. The guy couldn't really hurt Cotto a few years back. Our Mexican champ is still growing at the tender age of 30
Yeah... I don't see anyone beating Canelo right now or in the near future. Once he beats Plant and collects all of the Infinity Stones at 168, what else is there for him?
I used to think Bivol could present some problems - he has an excellent jab, fast educated feet, and controls distance well - but he didn't look good in his comeback fight. I don't think he's got KO power at 175 either. It'll be hard to outpoint Canelo with his deeply ingrained amateur points style.
Besides the Gvozdyk fight, I haven't really watched Beterbiev. But I read he didn't look too good in his comeback fight. He is getting older now.
What surprised me a bit was seeing an interview with Canelo's trainer saying they were aiming for Beterbiev before they chose to eventually fight Kovalev.
Aside from his KO power, Beterbiev's come forward pressure style does play well into Canelo's excellent counterpunching abilities...
