Hearn poised to announce Canelo vs BJS

Promoter Eddie Hearn says WBO super middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders will likely be on hand when Canelo Alvarez defends his WBC and WBA super middleweight titles against Avni Yildirim at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida on February 27. If Canelo wins as expected, a Canelo-Saunders unification fight may be announced that night.

Hearn expects a crowd of about 15,000 socially distanced fans to be allowed to attend the fight card at the Miami Dolphins home stadium.

  • Billy Joe Saunders Vs Canelo would and should be a good fight, especially since Saunders is a southpaw that could give Canelo problems. Both are still young, 30 and 31. If this fight is made for Cinco de Mayo weekend they should add the GGG Vs Munguia on the undercard. That would be HUGE!!!

    • Yes, would be a good fight to watch. However, BJS really has limited power in his arsenal to hold off the beast Alvarez can be in the ring. I really think Alvarez will walk BJS down in the later rounds and cruise to a decision victory. My opinion.

  • A complete points-dominant repeat of Canelo-Smith. In other words, zzzzz……

  • Canelo is on another level to Billy jo Saunders easy nights work for the Mexican legend

  • Words are BJS has been spotted in Soprt Stores searching for the best racer bycicle on the market

  • BJS does not have enough punching heat to discourage Canelo from applying constant pressure and hard body punching. If the fight occurs, I expect Canelo to wear down BJS for a clear UD or a TKO by the 10th round.

  • Billy Jo to get KOed – making the big call here should be paying $1.05 at the bookies

  • BJS is one incredibly boring fighter! I’d rather cut my grass then sit and watch it grow than watch this pathetic clown fight! Not sure whos more boring him or Plant… Zzzzzzz light out-for me!

  • My biggest complaint about Canelo was that I thought he was becoming a cherry picking, paper title chasing joke. I wanted him to pick a Division and actually unify it!

    I guess all I had to do was ask! I even love the order he’s going. Callum Smith seemed the best champion to me and I could not have been more impressed with Canelo in that fight. The mandatory is a necessary evil to hold the titles together, so hurry up and get it out of the way just like he’s doing. Queue up Saunders afterword! LOVE IT!!!! Saunders is what he is and Plant needs a little more time to further build his base. Perfect alignment imo. If Canelo completes this gauntlet by the end of the year it will have been a true FOY campaign and possibly his best as a professional.

    • The man is moving up in weight, kicking arse and taking names. The man makes it look easy. He took out HHH and Kovalev (after Ward softened him up of course).
