Comments Thread For: Billy Joe Saunders to Fight Willie Monroe Jr. on 9/16 in London

Wait is this really an optional? I though Willie was just the next willing and available mandatory

Monroe is getting robbed. He'll end up out boxing Saunders but won't get the nod because they'll say he didn't do enough to win.

This one will be home brewed.

Of all the opponents, they pick the worst one and the worst style fight. Lame.

exactly. This is the weakest opponent of all the guys that were mentioned and probably the worst fight style wise to watch.

The UK is about the worst place to box if you haven't power, they'll rob this guy and Willy knows it.

A good test for BJS to see how good he is. Monroe is usually not active enough to win rounds easily.

But this one is gonna be a snoozefest.

Only lame part about this fight is if aND probably when Monroe beats bjs, I have not much interest in a ggg rematch. I guess canelo vs Monroe could be decent but its not as fun

[Deletrious]

Billy Joe is not exactly endearing himself to fans in England. Inactive, unpopular, and controversial.

Monroe may avoid a robbery because the home crowd doesn't really like this guy.

So BJS is too relevant to fight Jacobs and Lemieux, but Monroe Jr is the worthy? I hope Willie can find a way to get this win. BJS is clownish...

saunders doesnt really have any sort of fanbase and isnt popular so i wouldnt worry too much about a robbery. not sure if fish eyes has the power these days to rig fights either.

Why not Jacobs?

I would have much rather him take on Daniel Jacobs!
