Comments Thread For: Billy Joe Saunders-Artur Akavov Pushed Back Again, To Dec. 3

Billys just looking for one big payday and then he's done by the looks of it.It's a shame because he has skills.

Ye it sux, he has some serious natural talent, but the dude is borderline fat all year round, doesnt seem to take training seriously at all which should explain his stamina issues, really is a shame :/

Lomachenko - Walters
Povetkin - Stiverne
Gassiev - Lebedev
Chakiev - Vlasov
Parker - Ruiz Jr

It would indeed be fun to see Akavov win this and derail the Bill Joe disruption to the division.

Watched Akavov's fights, and he looks pretty good, but trouble is he's only been fighting B level opposition. He's done what you are supposed to do with B level opposition if you are an A grade fighter, so he's a bit of an an unknown as he's never been in with anyone over Grade B.

Akavov might be better than Saunders or anyone else bargained for, but he's inexperienced, even by Saunders' standards.

Looks like he only started boxing pro 5 years ago at age 25, and had quite a bit of amateur experience before that. No idea what to expect with him !

Basically exactly what I was going to say this is getting ridiculous, BJS is just holding up the division.

I'm saying, dude has had the belt for about a year now and yet to defend it.

He reminds me a bit of of myself.I think he has a serious love of food and he says he sometimes bulls to 16 stone.As you get older it gets harder and harder to lose it and keep your engine.Wonder how he'd do at supermiddle.

This is difficult to comprehend as with all the technological tools available in today's world not being able to transmit documents 4 a week...something's fishy...

I agree. It's 2016, these type of things are easily handled with technology. Unacceptable for a fight to be cancelled for reasons such as this
