I think Saunders at his best is a very tough fight for anyone, he's hard to catch clean and has a good ring IQ. I don't think Monroe is a walk in the park for anybody either unless you're on the level of Golovkin.
Both Saunders and Monroe can be both quite awkward actually, and neither is a big puncher and both seem to work better off the back foot, although i think high pressure guys can get to both fighters, but neither is that. I'm not sure if that makes for an exciting fight or not. I could see it being quite close and cagey with very little action. It could actually be a stinker actually.
Also, i'm not sure what Saunders is like now. He was awful in his last fight and has basically spent the last 18 months drinking, getting fat, training and having fights cancelled, then getting fat again. He needed to be active.
If Saunders is 100% what he was, i think he wins the fight. If his best days are gone due his lifestyle, i could see Monroe being awkward and getting a decision. I'll say the outcome on this fight depends more on what version of Saunders it is rather than what Monroe can bring.
But in the words of Tyson Fury - "i sense a stinker"Last edited by TheBigLug; 07-03-2017, 06:43 PM.Comment
