Going to be a very hard night for him, just hope he goes a few rounds and come away from the fight knowing he done all he could and comes away from the fight OK.

Very one sided fight.

Fielding went for it but was well out of his depth.

Have to watch out for 20 year old Super featherweight Ryan Garcia manager by Oscar De La Hoya looks the part.

The fight went exactly how I imagined. Rocky new his days were numbered when he went down from that first body shot. He gave it his best but it was a mismatch.

I bet DAZN won't want many more of those kind of fights as they're a paying canelo a lot of money for 11 fight contract.

Going for it was his biggest mistake against Canelo. Although I don't think he could ever have won that fight anyway.

I'd like to see Callum Smith v Canelo. He had Fielding out of there even quicker.

He tried briefly to keep Canelo at distance but it didn't work at all. Going for it at least made a fight but he was outclassed in skill, speed, power and everything else.

I actually think Smith would be an even fight for Canelo.

Those body shots were brutal. Such a difference in class between Canelo and fielding.

Rare to see a 3 body shot TKO. Canelo' s just a fantastic fighter, power and skills...want to see him against BJS or Smith soon.

Don't know about batter, Saunders is superbly talented and I think vastly underrated. Canelo would be my favourite, but I think that would be a good fight to watch.
Yep, Saunders is the better boxer of the two imo, just may not have the power to keep Canelo at bay for the duration of the fight.

BJS doesn't seem to get much respect, even when he completely schooled Lemieux I had posted in this thread and I don't think anyone else talked about it. It was one of, if not the best display by a British boxer I'd seen that year.

BJS is a very talented boxer. But he’s a prick and people don’t support him.

Honestly think it's a Traveller thing and tbh, you have to admire his talent.

By that I mean how he's grown up etc. The last item on the news was really horrible. Mike Tyson was a horrible fucker and still gets props.

I know plenty of travellers and none act like he does. He’s a vile **** and deserves to be ostracised.
He has zero following and is too risky, no reward for the risk. Now he’s ‘eating correct’ he seems to have improved too...

I think Canelo stops him.

I’d love to see Smith v Canelo. No chance though. Smiths a nightmare for Canelo

Not a massive boxing fan but some of the top fights in recent yrs have piqued my interest.

Honestly, why is there so much hype on whyte chisora? Genuine question. It's not remotely a top fight. Is it the presence of Haye? Because they both look the same, sound the same, the trash talk is tragic, completely nondescript both of them. If people pay 20 notes for this I'll be amazed.

Quite simply because the first fight was a classic!

You have to watch the first fight to understand the hype around this fight and both fighters this time around are in better shape than the last fight.
