People seem to think BJS has a chance due to the excellent footwork (excessive movement) he showed against David Lemeiux. They're saying it'll make a difference because of the trouble he had with Mayweather's movement and Erislandy Lara's southpaw stance (BJS is also southpaw).
Thing is, Canelo has vastly improved since his fight with Lara. Both Mayweather and Lara are better than BJS. Don't get me wrong, Billy Joe is good, but hell I had Demetrius Andrade beating him before Billy test positve for a banned substance.

Billy, always the asshole, has been nothing less in the buildup to the fight. He e told a Mexican reporther "you're breath smells like shit" at one of the pressers. Eddy Reynoso (Canelo's trainer) has said he usually just wants to win the fight, but he really hopes Canelo KO's Billy. I think Canelo is pretty pissed too.

Ring walks should be around 11pm EST.
Broadcast starts at 8.

This dude quit in the corner after 8. Took a good right uppercut that closed his eye and the corner threw in the towel on the stool. Smh. Those body shots softened dude up. All that shaking his head "no" after those blows was letting us know Canelo was connecting. This guy Billy was talking about how he's a tough Gypsy and Canelo's "never fought anyone like him, etc. then he quits after 8 lol.

What's next? Canelo says he's trying to unify 168, so Caleb Plant will probably be next. I wish Canelo didn't avoid Demetrius Andrade at every weight class they shared. That would be a good fight. Wish Canelo would've wanted the WBC belt while David Benavidez had it. That would also be a great fight. But Canelo picks his spots and isn't really out for the biggest challenges, just the easier routes to the accomplishments on paper. He's gone out of his way to avoid Benavidez, Andrade and Charlo for some reason. I tend to think he'd beat all 3, but he seems to disagree.

His corner waved the fight.
What makes this funny is that he was clowning Daniel Dubios (British Heavyweight) for taking a knee when his eye socket was smashed.
