Comments Thread For: Saunders: Me Against Andy Lee is Genuine 50-50 Fight

[Jloro]

Lee by KO. Can't wait to see it. Will it be on American tv?

Saunders can box well. I think the fight will be competitive in patches.
I think Lee's power and big fight experience will be a big factor though.

I guess the older Lee should be the slight favorite just because he is well schooled and he is the one with the equalizer...but it's still close

I guess it is a little like the McEwan fight for Lee. That was a pretty good fight too - i think McEwan was undefeated at the time he was like a low-mid level prospect, that was his step up fight against the more touted Lee. Somewhat similar position for Saunders, but now, it's against an older Lee. Lee was in trouble on the scorecards in that fight....and it might be the same thing here, where it's going to be an uphill battle winning rounds against a younger dude who will be energetic. Lee only got off with 300 punches against Quillin

Saunders is a lot more coordinated than McEwan..he's faster and can move better. He's defense isn't top notch but he's kinda slippery and in this fight I think him being the shorter guy will work to his advantage. I was pretty impressed with his pain threshold, Eubank JR was hitting him with some huge body in the final 3rd of that fight..Eubank was literally stepping into the shots putting all he had into them...I thought for sure they were going to take their toll at some point but he kept taking them. This guy is pretty tough - I think he will survive getting rocked where McEwan didn't and win a decision. I'll roll with Saunders
