Fiery Canelo Álvarez stalks, defeats Billy Joe Saunders in front of record crowdThere’s no other moment in sports like the few seconds before the opening bell rings for a big fight. When two boxers stare at each other across the ring — like Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez and Billy Joe Saunders did on Saturday night inside AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas — it feels like time slows down. Not the national anthems from the United States, England and Mexico. None of that ultimately mattered once the bell rang, and almost immediately, Álvarez forced his fight on Saunders. By the middle rounds, with his arms hanging lower and lower, Saunders got hit more and more in the face.
