Comments Thread For: Andy Lee-Billy Joe Saunders in Play, Says Warren

The fight should be in Ireland. Andy Lee is the champ.

Good fight for the fans C'mon Frank.

I knew Warren was going to pull this. He can make more money with the fight in London/Manchester than in 3Arena in Dublin (9,400 cap). I'm disappointed to hear Excel Arena though, only 15k capacity, was thinking it'd go O2.

I wouldn't be surprised if they agree to let Andy fight in March at the 3Arena against a puff like Lajos Nagy and then Andy & Billy meet in the summer at an outdoor stadium in the UK.

Love this fight - one of my most anticipated (yet underrated) matches of 2015. :box2: Definitely should be in Ireland though, as long as it draws a good crowd.

Lee is cool, and his story makes me feel good about the sport. I genuinely felt great for him after that Korobov win. Saunders is my boy from the start, followed his career since 2009, so I'm rooting for him to finally reach his peak and get a world title. Whoever wins, I'll be proper chuffed for them.

Lee vs cotto is a good one for next year

[Evil Abed]

Slightly favor BJS.

But Lee has a great punchers chance.

Saunders will do good in the first half of the fight by using his jab and movement, but Lee will KO him when he tires.

Its good to see Andy Lee in the position hes in now, hes a very solid fighter and has the tools to hang with the best @ 160, hes a throwback fighter definately..the guy actuallystopped my cousin with a liver shot on Friday Night fights on ESPN a while back..seeing what Lee has went on to accomplish, no shame in getn beat by a guy like Lee...fortunately we have a new prospect in the family, a few more years my son will be up there

Legit fight, Lee has to fight the mandatory and a voluntary defense before start to think about a unification bout. N'JIKAM is mandatory for IBF, i hope to see him vs Taylor soon.

Team Lee need to be stubborn here & force the fight to happen in Eira. Frank Warren seems to think he's God & everyone has to bow down to him, well Andy has a fantastic opportunity to make a statement here!
