Comments Thread For: Billy Joe Saunders Decisions Willie Monroe, Retains WBO Belt

BJS has regressed.

His career moment is that victory over Eubank Jr. Who he would lose badly to in a rematch. Even in the Andy Lee fight, despite two knockdowns, he managed to make the fight close and gave up a lot of late rounds to Lee.

He's pretty good slippery and has decent pop.....

.....for about 6 rounds, after the 6th he's just slippery.

Fight Jacobs n the winner gets the winner of today

Sadly, no surprises there. Monroe may be ok b/c-lister skill-wise, but he's lacking character for this game.

I'd love to see Jacobs put his fist right through Sanders head.

Monroe should retire. If you aren't even going to try and throw punches to win a world title you shouldn't be in boxing. Crybaby bitch take your money and fuck off.

He hasn't looked the same since Golovkin made him quit. Like most boxing fans I first saw him in the Boxcino Tournament and against Vera and he used to start the fight on the backfoot before staying a little more in the pocket and he was actually good at it. I know it was just Boxcino, but Rosado is hardly better than these guys and Saunders in nothing special either. Even against Golovkin he stood his ground at some point and had success on the inside. For me he has looked overly cautious and tentative since the Golovkin fight. I said when the fight was made that it was way too early for him, and he may never have mentally recovered from it.

Monroe's corner yelling ''you're up on points in the 11th...''

right, cause that non existent work rate also from the champion is going to have you winning when ideally the benefit of doubt goes to BJS in home turf.

How does Monroe Jr. go-for-broke with GGG in trading but is scared of another Southpaw who has been missing? none of these guys came to fight.

BUT Respects to BJS accepting ring rust and boring fight which he said out loud to the crowd. I don't even want to hear Monroe's excuse. He had some nice moments, don't know why he gave up on simple workrate and fundamentals. This BJS was much as a threat as Rosado ffs.

where are all you silly bastards who picked monroe? lol

[nycsmooth]

Who was the blind judge that had a 115-114 that's absurd???
Still BJS was exposed by a guy that can't break a balloon...

I was looking forward to watching this even I got home from work BJS trash talk actually got me interested in this but.... Looking at the posts... I guess I'll have to pass

This fight may have been worse than Klitschko vs. Fury. The most exciting thing in the fight was the accidental headbutt. Don't waste your time.
