Saunders wins this easily. Hard to get excited for this fight.

Lemieux will tear Saunders apart...Late stoppage.

Great fight, very excited about this one. The atmosphere in Laval should be intense. If this was in the UK, I'd favor BJS by decision however being in Canada I'd rate it much closer to pick'em: Can David manage to land a few bombs on BJS' chin to hurt him and/or change the flow of the fight?

A few points, I am a Lemieux fan but don't rate him as one of the elite although I think he has elite power (sometimes that is good enough) and is aggressive (also sometimes good enough especially if you have the aforementioned power). I think BJS has much displayed better boxing skills than David but will he come motivated and will that be enough?

Also, I think its humorous that some use any topic out there to either disparage GGG or glorify him. Lots of other fighters and fights out there; doesn't always have to turn into some litmus test about GGG or Canelo...

And why do people do the same with networks or promoters? Who cares so long as there are compelling or entertaining fights being made? Not all compelling/entertaining fights have to be on the pound for pound discussion. Anyway, rant over....look forward to the fight. Cong**** to both men for getting it made, lets hope its a cracker!

I'm surprised so many people are backing Saunders...I thought he looked like tired crap against Monroe Jr and expect Lemieux to KO him early.

Really?? Cotto is over the hill & done, Berchelt vs Salido will be just another brawl & Lemeiux vs Saunders both SU*K!!!

those fights will be a hundred times better than that garbage main event showtime just aired or the pointless absolute garbage rematch between beyonce and stiverne you ****** looooool

Lemiuex almost lost his last fight to a guy out of shape chavez jr beat.

Lemiuex almost lost his last fight to a guy out of shape chavez jr beat.

Stop lying lemieux literally won every round. The only knock is he couldn't knock the guy out but he was never close to losing the fight. His opponent took an epic beating but survived to the final bell.

These were the judges scores
99-90 | 99-90 | 98-91

And he put stevens in a coma the fight before. Meanwhile Saunders didnt look good in the monroe fight and had to squeeze by a bum Artur Akavov and there were some that felt he lost that fight.

Good fight.


Lempoo has that ****** strength and can get Blow Job out of there early but if he doesn't I expect to see him UD the clobber.
