        I would, Saunders has trouble down the stretch.

        I wouldn't be surprised if he outboxed Lee early and then Lee came on strong late. I think Saunders should win but he desperately needs to do more roadwork and train for the full 12.

          I hope Lee outbox Saunders and in the late rounds Knock him out. That would be the better scenario for a GGG fight next year.

            Is BJS fighting again before September?

            He should, Andy Lee is not a light touch at all.

            Billy Joe would have not fought for 12 months if he has no tune up.
            I believe he is the type of fighter who needs to stay active and motivated.

            Also his stamina is not great, so he needs another fight first IMO.

              There's always a problem where Frank Warren & ca$h is concerned, he is without doubt the UK's answer to Don King. However, I believe B.J.S is up to fight anyone & I wish him well!

                This will be a tough test for Andy. I could see BJS outworking him and not being careless. Additionally Warren's running the show, so there's a matter of judges.

                  Damn I forgot about Lee's mandatory against Saunders, this is a tough fight, and GGG has to wait for another unification fight. I like Lee a lot I hope he wins.
