HBO considering picking up Lee/Saunders

[Baltimore]

Hope HBO does pick this up, helps build up the winner for GGG.

Hopefully Lee wins this, I believe him when he said he'd like to fight GGG recently.

Lol its like Lemieux all over again. "Lee has improved a lot." Hahahahaha

I like Lee a lot. Was very disappointed in his performance against Quillin. Wouldn't mind him getting a payday against GGG but that isn't exactly a good fight.

With a short list of realistic options for GGG, Lee is one if the better options.

Lee was getting outboxed by Korobov and Jackson.

Is there a stat I am unaware of in boxing where a KO counts less then a win if you're getting outboxed in the fight prior to it?

Lemieux all over again

I think Lee beats Lemiueux. They are both good fighters.

But I will admit, I've met Andy, and I like him as a fighter and as a dude (probably the nicest athlete I've ever met) and am probably a little biased. I would like to see him get another big fight.

If GGG is going to fight 3-4 times a year, the winner of Lee-Saunders deserves a shot.

If Saunders wins, which I suspect he will, he won't fight GGG. He knows he's not ready.

Hell yeah pick it up... Even if it's on hbo2,,,


If hbo wants to be the premier channel for boxing, then it needs international fights..

Boxing is worldwide, and hbo needs to recognize this... Fight fans are interested in these type fights... Just how we were interested last year in fury-chisora or groves-froch..


Hbo's goal should be broadcasting the most interesting fights and not just North American fights..

Plus, Saunders-lee Winner is in line for a Golovkin fight, so it makes sense for hbo to broadcast lee-Saunders

I mean I guess it doesn't matter in the long run, but you can see Andy Lee's limitations in both these fights. He was outboxed by guys that had never proved themselves, and he ended both with a great punch.

But i'm absolutely sure GGG would withstand that, and with his power, would have Lee out before either of these guys. It's a predictable fight, and nobody wants to see that.

That's the thing, Gennady is too good for 160. Every single fight there he is a comfortable favorite. Boxing is about risks, isn't it?

I love to watch international fights, there production is 10x better. It just looks better on tv. I also love the white canvas which we never use in this country.

Fans are also a lot more respectful and seem to be more invested in there favorite fighters.

[LA_2_Vegas]

Christ....are people actually excited at the prospect of Golovkin fighting either of these guys?

I would be more happy for Lee than excited to see him get GGG

We know BJS wants no part of GGG, so in the case that he wins... I would be looking forward to seeing Saunders/Eubank II on HBO soon. Maybe on a GGG card or something, help add some new elements ot the division
