Official: Andy Lee vs Billy Joe Saunders RBR Thread

[TGD]

Went as I thought. Billy Joe the much better boxer, although it has to be said he has difficulty going the 12 rounds. Similar to the Eubank Jnr fight, he boxes the opponent's ears off then starts to fade over the half way point. It's something he will need to address.

Credit to Andy Lee to for getting up to fight after the heavy knock down, but I feel he may have regrets in the morning that he didn't pile on sooner.

Commentator got it wrong he is 31, I was going to say.

I know he has been around a long time but Andy Lee is 37? WTH?
I didn't know he was that old.

31. Born in 1984.

I gave it to BJS by one point ; the knockdowns did it - I was cheering for Lee.

Would like to see Saunders-Jacobs. Canelo vs Saunders would be decent too.

Got to say I love a good chess match, although I can see there aren't too many fans on here!

Because Lee didn't lose too badly I could see him getting the Jacobs or Canelo fights. With Jacobs there is the LDB connection, with Canelo there is the fact that Lee was at 154 recently enough that he would accept a 155lb catchweight.

I don't think Saunders faces anyone top level next, maybe a Eubank Jr rematch at best.
