"...Monroe Jnr fought with a disappointing lack of ambition..."

When has Monroe EVER fought like he had a fire inside? If he has, I've never seen it.

This fight was so bad I think my cat was trying to commit suicide by jumping out the window, here's my round-by-round commentary at the time. An hour of my life I will never get back.

1) may have been fighting with handbags - clear Saunders though as Monroe not active

2) still handbags away in the second, saunders getting a couple more slaps in, probably 2-0 saunders, Monroe needs to step it up

3) think i nodded off......

4) Saunders up after 4, but Saunders picked up a cut - sounded like head clash. not pretty. Commentators have Saunders 1 point up (think they gave a 10-10)

5) Think Saunders got the 5th, but painful to watch. Saunders used a lot of energy in the first 5 and is visibly getting more scrappy

6) Think Saunders got the 6th, but oh god is this fight awful...feeling sorry for myself

7) think Saunders outstank Monroe in the 7th, so monroe round....but stopping caring I think

8) Saunders wins 8th.....got a new oxymoron 'Saunders powerpunch'

9) Saunders wins 9th, I think, I nodded off a bit in the middle.......is there a WFOTY category ? (Worst Fight of...)

10) Saunders gets 10th I think.......bindings come loose on Saunders gloves, most exciting part of fight so far

11) Monroe squeaks 11th I think.....commentators sounding exhausted too

12) Monroe stats to fight in the 12th.....err Willie, a bit late wot ? Saunders easy points win unless the judges fell asleep and can't read the scores because they drooled over the cards while napping.

I think the key factor was a couple of the ring posts having Golovkin's face on and both of them being like deer in headlights every time they caught a glimpse of it. So the tactic was to manoevre the other guy around so that he was looking at Golovkin and then fire a jab at the stationary target.

Has boxing fallen this far? Saunders is absolutely terrible!!! Monroe was no better. To think they charged for this embarrassment of a championship prizefight. Best punch was from the dim wit brat who punched Monroe in what should have been his nuts. The way he fought showed he didn't have any. Just to many alphabit titles in every division allowing terrible fighters to put on lousy shows like this and actually call themselves world champions.

GGG should fight Saunders next and screw Canelo and the fixers

GGG should ignore a Canelo rematch and fight BJ Saunders in the UK for big money instead. GGG got hosed in America in a fixed fight as it always happens. Move away from Canelo keep the blets and fight BJ. Let Canelo and Oscar count their cash and kiss more ass.
