dont believe akavov will beat saunders, so I pray for Saunders that he will miss weight and gets his belt stripped off.

Anyone knows this Russian fighter? Can he make a surprise in this fight?

Surprisingly, bjs looks in relatively good shape, but who the f*** is the guy he's fighting.

I can´t wait to see this BJS guy taken out of the MW picture by GGG or Canelo. I just can´t stand him and would really enjoy to watch him get stopped and that title taken from him to be disputed among real champions.

It would be an absolute blessing if Saunders lost this fight. But it won't happen, so whatever.

Lol that beard.

What a big waste of a year this has been for BJS.

Anyone knows this Russian fighter? Can he make a surprise in this fight?

He's solid, but he's only ever fought C level fighters. He's done what a Grade A or Grade B fighter should do to C grade fighters, but that just makes him a complete unknown.

Could he surprise ? Its possible, but unlikely. You rarely get anonymous fighters appearing out the woodwork and doing the unexpected.

More likely Team Saunders did their homework on him and picked him as they are confident he's no more than a B grade fighter.

So we can all hope, but Saunders, being the GOAT at 160 should make light work of him.

(that's GOAT as in the ruminant mammal)

Surprised he didn't injure himself getting to the event.

Unless Akavov can score a highly unlikely KO, this will be an easy shutout or KO win for BJS. This dude stands no chance.
