Saunders attacked first , not without first highlighting the quality of Saúl Álvarez: “ Canelo has done brilliant things in boxing, he is a good champion, but there is a moment in life when you face a challenge, and when you forget where you come from, the difficulties that brought you here, that can be tricky. I think you have come across the wrong man “.
