    Lol Monroe been knocking out sparring partners lately...

      Monroe is cool & he live where I live so I gotta support the cat, but I think he was eyeballing McGregor's twitter & stole a thing or two lol.

        True, I agree with all of that.
        Must say though that Monroe has only been 12 rounds like twice and at a snails pace, he also carries a lot of muscle, his tank might not be great either.
        His punch output is ridiculously low I don't feel he fights at a pace where he can capitalise on Saunders having a shoddy gas tank though I will say he looks in the best shape I've ever seen him.

          He moves a lot though and makes his opponents output drop significantly. If Saunders starts to gas he'll put more of that energy into throwing instead of moving. I just think Monroe is a live underdog, maybe i'm wrong.

            Monroe doesn't have the power to get hit him out of there, he isn't winning a decision regardless what BJS turns up anyway.
            exactly I see a lot of praise on eubank's athleticism/skill but a lot of hate on saunders

              Yeah, I got Saunders over Monroe. I've never seen Billy Joe in this kind of shape, that doesn't mean he's going to win but I'm sure Dominic Ingle has him ready to go.

              Plus winning a decision against Billy Joe in England is not likely.

              But I think Saunders will win outright.

                I think Monroe Jr makes BJS looks silly for 12 Rounds but loses a controversial decision

                  I hope Monroe wins. Maybe that will shut Saunders up for a day or two. He is the 2nd biggest blabbermouth in the UK, surpassed only by Khan.

                    What about vada testing? Im seeing BJS isn't doing it or there only being tested 1 week before the fight.

                      I'm with you Robbie, i think Monroe is a live dog in this fight but probably won't get a decision fighting in his opponent's backyard
