Lemme knocks the boy out with one clean shot.
12 rands to land it.

Good match up, 2 guys with a rep for sporting flabby t1ts on occasion.

[Disturbed]

Alright, make it happen

Winnable fight for either guy.

Saunders needs this kind of "name" on his resume to gain wider acceptance as a solid fighter.

Who the hell said these are top guys???? Two bums going at it.

Only ESPN, Ring Magazine, Boxrec... say they're 4, 5, or 6 in the middleweight division, but I'm sure you know better.

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.
