    Well, It wouldn't actually do that well in the UK. Saunders isn't really a draw here surprisingly. His fight with Andy Lee barely sold a quarter of the venue capacity. Also, he's not on Sky, he fights on BoxNation which basically only hardcore boxing fans subscribe too, and even then it's not that many. So anybody outside of BoxNation subscribers don't see him fight.

    Given the fact his fight with Andy Lee did very low numbers, and that was two travellers and British fighters which was a good selling point, i can't see him and Lemieux doing great numbers considering Lemieux is unknown in the UK.

    Anyway i wouldn't be Surprised if it is Lemieux or Stevens, both of them were on Canelo's last PPV.

      Makes sense, that Wbo belt has become very valuable, and GBP would love Lemieux to pick it up and then defend vs Canelo with a little buildup. It'd be all fireworks, and all win for them

        He will fight the only guy from the list that is utter trash.

        Langford.

        JSK/Kamegai II seems possible and looks like Ortiz/Ustinov will be on there... so I think all that's left is figuring out who BJS's opponent is... and I doubt it's anybody good since Warren and GBP won't want him to lose
        oh, its only a dream MW card, of course what you guys said is the reality

          Could still be Langford IMO... has a fight next month, but doubt it'll be hard. WBO gonna be ordering a mando elim soon with Khurtzide. If Warren is lucky, he can stick BJS in w/ a bottom tier WBO opponent then fight Langford before it's mandated and save his fighter

            this is what I dont like about UK titleholders(most), theyre satisfied with lame low tier opponents and its even hard for us fans to push for a competitive match

              We shall see how dumb boxing fans are when the PPV numbers come in for this garbage card.

                Saunders message to Canelo: "you can't clear up your duck on my behalf for free, kid"...

                  If not Langford...probably Bursak or some low tier euro

                  Langford, he'd probably make over in England

                    Still disappointed at how poorly that promotion went down

                      You all are asking him to fight dude like Lemieux but honestly, I think the right fight for BJS is Curtis Stevens, big Curt could rekk this guy If he lands one of his shots and we all know BJS tends to weakened down the stretch.
