Saunders-Lemieux a mismatch

[oscar9992]

The funny thing is that Lemieux would be his best opponent he would have faced up until this point so this thread is useless. Mismatch my a55. If anything Saunders should be worried he will bet put in a coma.

He beat Eubank Jr. who is better than Lemieux...

Is the Saunders vs Eubank Jr fight worth a watch? Ive only seen a few fights of Eubank but he seems like a real intense ****er. How did BJS beat him exactly, was it a fun match?

I don't think Eubank is a big puncher at top level. He is a decent puncher who fights at a high intensity, if he makes it at top level I think it will be as a high intensity swarmer, who can do it with some skill and boxing ability. Something between Tim Bradley and Aaron prior in terms of style. That's how I envisage him having long term success.

In the BJS fight, I think first it was too soon for him, and also he tried to box the first 6-7 rounds and looked disjointed and lost most of them.

Once he realised he needed to go after Saunders and put it on him he more or less swept the back half of the fight but it was too little too late.

I think he would have learnt a lot from the fight and I feel it was more about experience. He is a late starter to boxing and sometimes these guys take an early loss or sometimes quite a few, but peak later.

Worth a watch if your interested in the division.

Thanks for the breakdown. Seems like Eubank just started too late or something. But he does look pretty strong and composed. I guess we ll know for sure the next time he steps up.

Bwahahahaha!!!

On what planet has he proven to be better?

Not on Earth I'm afraid.

Are you joking? It should be common knowledge that Eubank is better than Lemieux.

1: Eubank would never lose to journeymen like Alcine and Rubio.

2: Lemieux got knocked out relatively easy by Golovkin, lol. He is so far beneath the big 4 at middleweight (Golovkin, Canelo, Jacobs and Saunders) that it's pathetic to suggest him as standing a chance against any of them. Saunders will beat him easily and Eubank, who is Saunders' equal, would do it equally easy, maybe even easier, due to a higher chance of scoring a knockout.

3: Lemieux's only semirelevant win was against Peter Quillin's wasted leftovers, lol. Eubank defeated Artur Abraham, who would still murder Lemieux today, despite being shot.

Eubank is better than Lemieux.

Lol!

Pitiful argument. He may be better but he sure hasn't proven it.

And once decent win over a totally shot Abraham is not enough to eclipse Lemieux's world title win. Had Jr. beat Saunders, we wouldn't be having this convo but he didn't, so we are....

eubank still hasnt beaten anyone very good yet. 37 year old arthur abraham? i think he will win the tournament but lets save the praise for when its warranted.
