Lemeuix by Murder..Won't go pass the 8th

Saunders wins this with his typical boring UD protocol. Even if Lemieux is a live dog. And this after the Lemieux/Reyes fight being one of the best things to happen to David, having to go 10 with a solid fighter. Lemieux just doesn't seem to be able to do all that well vs good boxers, although he will have a few good moments in this fight.

I couldn't disagree more. I get that you're from the UK, so obviously you're going for Saunders, but don't think Saunders will be able to duplicate what GGG did to Lemieux. He has a very good chin and has improved massively since that GGG whooping. I honestly can't see how Saunders would win this fight, other than biased judging.

70/30 Split needs to go........

WBO needs to do away with the 70/30 split rule this just holds up fights from getting done or at least prolongs negotiations. In this day and age it's about who brings the draw/money.

Not from UK. From U.S. And you can disagree all you want. On this and other boxing sites, we're just blogging our opinions on how the fight would go. My opinion is based on the fact Lemieux doesn't do well against solid boxers. You wanna think differently, go for it. Makes no difference to me.

I agree 100%. It's a mismatch in terms of skill set and IQ. But I expect David to give a good effort. His reputation greatly excedes his talent.

Thanx. Always good to see posts from smart boxing fans.
