Why Billy Joe Saunders could be the perfect kryptonite for Canelo Alvarez's unification hopes
CBSN
The British champion loves to play mind games while also having one of the toughest styles to fight against
If the opening moments of WBO super middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders' formal sitdown with DAZN this week was any indication as to how Saturday's 168-pound title unification bout might play out, we might be in for something special. "At the end of the day, this isn't about him," Saunders said during a DAZN "Off the Cuff" interview. "I don't give a shit about Canelo Alvarez, not two shits." It has been anything but a normal fight week for Saunders (30-0, 14 KOs) from the standpoint of trying to figure out exactly where his mind is at just days out from facing Alvarez (55-1-2, 37 KOs) in the biggest fight of the British southpaw's career inside AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.More Related News
