Comments Thread For: Saunders vs. Lemieux Ordered By WBO, Says Golden Boy Prez

[PBR Streetgang]

I'd like to see this fight happen in December. Is Lemieux over-rated? Yeah, probably by some but that happens with big punchers for various reasons. I still like him and enjoy his fights. He is limited but has power and aggression. BJS is a skilled fighter but he certainly isn't compelling and often seems unmotivated. BJS should beat Lemieux, but that's not to say he will. I didn't see much from Saunders in the Akakov fight or the Monroe fight. Akakov wanted to win but didn't have the skills or power to take it from BJs. Monroe had skills but not the power or desire. David has the power and the will, the question is can his skills be good enough to take it from a consistently lackluster BJs? I would like to find out.

Nice to see Lemieux get a crack at another belt since he lost his IBF title against GGG. I hope GBP takes the fight to Montreal and forces Saunders to cross the pond.

you just had a guy ranked p4p #1 after he was completely outboxed and got a gift and then ko'd his opponent with low blows in the rematch all while clinching nonstop in both fights so dont tell me about overrated.

Great to see these Belt Organizations earning their Fees at least

The Pre Fight stuff is going to be FUN for this one!

Saunders wins ugly. He's lefty and he's awkward plus he's not easy to hit. Stamina can be an issue with him but I think he can outbox Lemieux in another ugly BJS decision win.

Yes! This is a great fight, big props to the WBO, I can see Saunders taking it just. I love when fights like this get ordered by sanctioning bodies, earning those fees for once haha!

since when did the WBO start mandating mantatories?

lemieux is not in the same league as BJS and is headed for an embarrassing loss
