Comments Thread For: Daniel Jacobs: Unless Lemieux Gets Lucky, Saunders Will Win

[Derranged]

Jacob's chin praying Saunders wins.

In all seriousness though, Jacobs smacks both of them silly. Lemieux does have that power as you say, and I can't see Billy outboxing a big guy like Jacobs for 12 rounds.

Lemiuex would have a tough time getting to Jacobs' chin and while Lemiuex isn't packing glass, his chin isn't exactly iron either. Jacobs has proven to be more durable than most thought and I think he'd be able to keep Lemiuex off of him.

I think Danny Jacobs is spot on with his analysis. If BJS does everything right he wins this, that is to include fight preparation, conditioning and ring tactics. If any if these are lacking and Lemieux lands a shot or two, it's lights out. Looking forward to this fight because of all these variables.

This ^. If Saunders comes in in top form he should take this - certainly he's a level above Lemieux in terms of his boxing skills. The only variable you haven't brought up is the fact that this is a GBP card and Lemieux is at home. I think GBP has eyes on Lemieux vs Canelo at some point in 2018 and the belt would certainly add some ****e to that scrap. It might not be enough for Saunders to cruise or take rounds off if he thinks he's ahead - expect close rounds to go Lemieux.

Yeah Jacobs is actually a good boxer, he handily beats Lemieux even easier than BJS, the power can easily be neutralised plus Jacobs is packing heat too.

Billy Ho has a way of taking a potentially exciting fight and making it a slow dull affair. Lemieux will swing and miss all night. BJS wins this in a fight so boring I turn it off half way through.

I would like to see Lemieux win but I just don't see it happening. BJS is too slippery.

Saunders takes this in a pretty uneventful UD for me.

[FrankieClutch]

Still not decided on Lemieux KO or Saunders decision

I'm stuck on this as well. Saunders has terrible stamina and I'm leaning towards a late round TKO for Lemieux

I truly believe BJS will win 8 or 9 rounds in an ugly fight by boxing Limieux.

David has telegraphed punches, not so great footwork, predictable rhythm and leaky defence. He has power which can change any round or a fight of course.

BJS can be hit, but he seems to fight better when he is motivated by names.

Also think this will be a boring UD for BJS

Lemieux gonna slaughter BJS. Saunders is a domestic level bum
