Joe on Canelo Alvarez vs. Billy Joe Saunders w/Russell Peters

Hey, did you watch the Canelo fight this weekend? I was working. I didn't see it at all. I saw the highlights. Jesus. Broke his face. Bro, he hits so hard. Broke that orbital bone. He's one of those guys that like, you know, some guys just have power, right? But he works on it all the time. That's what I say. He's the most in every fight. He's the most improved fighter. He always goes back and fixes anything he saw wrong. Yep. Well, the Danny Jacobs fight. Remember this head movement? Yep. It gave Danny problems. We give anybody problems, but it was also like he was showing his head movement in that fight. Yeah, because they used to say he just walked right in and then he fixed it. My God, did he fix it? There's a video of Deontay Wilder yesterday I saw it, and he's looking really good. Malik Scott King is training him now. What is he doing with him? Oh, he looks like a completely different fighter. I think if you could find that. Oh, is he like using a lot of jabs in that video? Jabs and he's planting his feet and it looks like a boxer now. He doesn't look like a wild man just leaping off his feet and throwing these wild punches. I'm excited to see him fight now because he looked really sharp. Look like a real boxer now. Don't you think he needs a few fights like that with lower tier competition? Look at that. Yeah. Look at that. Sitting on him, bam. The jab is very important. He's going to need some two and up fights, don't you think? He should definitely have a ... Just to see how that style works in the ring, but he's moving. But again, he's a guy that has fucking preposterous power. Yeah. Power's so weird. It is because he's so thin. Where's it coming from? Well, Tommy Hearns. Yeah, well, Tommy, yeah. Tommy Hearns had ... He knocked Roberto Duran out cold, the only guy ever. Second round. There's just guys that just have preposterous power and Canelo is a guy that has power but is constantly working on it. There's a great clip of him working with Andy Ruiz. You know that shield, that weird hand shield that they hold up? Yeah, the one you hold. Which for hooks. Yeah. He's like, this is not for speed. This is just power. Just power. He's like, don't try to be fast with this. Just power. You see him just, hey, loom. Hey, loom. Everything is ... In that fight with Billy Joe, when Billy Joe kept doing that same lean over and over, after he would punch, he would lean out of the way, and he just timed it perfectly with that uppercut and threw everything in it. Yeah, that's the thing. He really watches you in a fight. He's not like some knucklehead who knows how to ... He really pays it. He's very aware. To me, I was never a Canelo guy before, but after the past five fights, I was like, you know what? If I'm not a Canelo fan, now I'm a fucking hater. But I am a fan now because I really appreciate his work ethic, the way he fucking ... Look at it. Yeah, this. See, it's about power. Yeah, see, this is the thing they're working on. They're just ... And he'll do that over and over and over again. He's a guy who already had big power, but he's constantly working and developing that power. In a fight like the Saunders fight, there was massive consequences to anything that Saunders did. Canelo was in this weird place where he's kind of cleaned out the division. He's got Caleb Plant, and not just that division. He's kind of cleaned out a lot of divisions. Triple G is still in the fucking running, which is interesting because ... He hasn't fought in two years. No, he fought recently. Triple G fought ... He fought last year. Yeah. It's been a year though, definitely, since he fought last. I don't think it's quite a year because I was in Texas. I watched it in Texas. Live or ... Yeah, yeah. See, find out when he fought, but he looked fucking good, dude. He not only looked good, he looked ripped. So I was like, hmm, piss test, please. Because he's like 38. Oh, he's got ... He's bordering 40 real quick right now. Looked as good as he's ever looked. He looked phenomenal. December. Oh, December. There you go. Oh, okay. So it's not been that long then. Yeah. So, yeah. So when is he fighting? When the fuck is he fighting again then? Well, they're talking about him possibly fighting Canelo. I don't think that's a good fight for him anymore. For him? Maybe not, but maybe the last chance at romance. How much more of an option does he have? I mean, where's he going to go? What else does he have? First fight I thought he won. Definitely. I was at that one. Yeah. I thought he won the first fight. I was ringside there. The second fight, very close. Very close. And Teddy Atlas was saying they should have given it to GGG. A lot of other people favored Canelo, but a much better performance for Canelo. But I think Canelo, as like we said, these guys like Camaro Usman, like Canelo Alvarez, like these guys who are just consummate champions, you're just going to get a better version of them every single time they step into the ring.
