gnasher16 30,280 Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) For me it was the difference between a top amateur and a top pro....Saunders had no other way to beat Canelo than to touch him with his hands more times than Canelo touched him and thats basically what amateur boxing is about.... if you cant make a dent in your opponent and you have no physical advantages then you can make absolutely no mistakes.....the punch Canelo caught him with was from a square stance because he had absolutely no fear of what was coming back at him....i gave Saunders 2 rounds tops. He probably feels a little bit silly now about the things he said about Daniel Dubois quitting the other month,particularly now they both have the same trainer.....that karma is a strange old thing eh !

Greb147 6,809 Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 Speaking realistically it was a sensible stoppage. His eye socket was clearly fcuked and he was only going to get seriously damaged. The punch completely finished him, what more was there to prove, he wasn't going to survive the fight let alone win. He may be a horrible b*****d but compassion has no judgement. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mark made the right call but in fairness you cant say the sort of shit he said about Dubois and then go out like he did....anyone thats ever been in the ring knows the first thing you are up against after taking big shots is your own corner....its up to you to convince them you are still in the fight so simply repeating " i cant see anything " is leaving your corner with no other option......its a nasty injury no doubt about it and he did exactly what Dubois did,he panicked.....humbling,maybe. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe it has knocked some sense in to him. He's made a habit of being an arse hole and it has come back to haunt him. I expected more from him in the bout in all honesty, like you I gave him around 2 rounds. Just cos he got back in to the fight a little doesn't mean he was on the verge of an upset, Canelo was just setting him up for a big one. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree i think Saunders has the engine and chin to pull off that hit and run style with all but the very best.....its a style that drains you mentally because of the concentration it takes you literally cant make a single mistake without paying a price as the opponent is not wary of whats coming back and so really committing to his attacks. Some fighter Canelo, really controls his power well. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pesky1972 5,327 Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 Pretty much every point I came on to make, been made in the last few posts. Never liked BJS due to the shite outside the ring.., something of the spoilt brat about him. I agree Tibbs made the right call to pull him out, but if the fight had been ‘close’ and Saunders thought he had any hope, surely he would have wanted to fight on? On the basis of these comments, I’m sure he would of Can’t see him asking for another crack at Canelo any time soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's as though they both don't realise what kind of weapon they are using. I would have stamped his head in to a pulp, attempting to murder you at the end of the day.
