By Scott Gilfoid: Billy Joe Saunders (23-0, 12 KOs) turned down a fight against Gabriel Rosado for the undercard of the Saul “Canelo” Alvarez vs. Liam Smith card for September 17. By doing so, Saunders appears to have been taken out of the running for a fight against Canelo for December. Golden Boy Promotions was interested in matching Saunders against their Golden Boy fighter Rosado on the Canelo-Smith card in order to possibly build up a fight between Canelo and Saunders for December.
Golden Boy still hasn’t given up on the idea of matching Rosado against Saunders for December if he’s willing to take the fight then. If not, then it’s unclear whether Saunders will ever get a fight against the popular Mexican star Canelo.
I’m not sure if it’s a conditional thing with Golden Boy that Saunders faces their fighter Rosado first in order to earn the fight against Canelo, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that were the case.

Canelo, 25, is taking a voluntary defense of his WBC title, and they need someone who is popular enough for him to fight on HBO pay-per-view.

Rosado, 29, believes that he’ll either be facing Canelo in his next fight in May 2016 or at some point in the future, because both fighters share the same promoters at Golden Boy Promotions.
