      “You guys said, ‘You can’t beat a striker, you can’t beat a legend like Anderson Silva.’ I just did it. So why can’t I beat Canelo?”

      On the other hand, Silva seemed to know he had to do something big to salvage the fight.
      But his eagerness saw him hit the canvas as he rushed in, leaving Paul to counter with a right hand.
      It saw Silva on the seat of his pants and staring defeat in the face.
