As much as Billy Joe Saunders is an underachiever and a weak title holder, this is a totally winnable fight for him. Unless Lemieux, who is a classic flat footed, one dimensional brawler, manages to get Billy Joe in a corner, land a hayemaker or break him down with a series of body shots, Saunders should be able to dance, keep the jab in his face and win a decision on points through pot shots for 12 rounds.
I see this one going down a lot like Parker vs Fury except Lemieux will have more trouble catching Saunders and Saunders will land more than Fury. I hope I'm wrong because that sounds boring as hell but it all depends on Lemieux's ability to close the gap and make it greasy.
