Prediction:
Saunders has the ability to pull off an upset against one of the greatest technical boxers of all time in Canelo Alvarez. But that is something which is easier said than done. Alvarez can evade and elude in the blink of an eye. It is hard to even land a scratch on the Mexican.
Saunders, will be hoping to somehow connect with his powerful punch, as it will be extremely difficult out-striking the wriggly Mexican.
