Comments Thread For: Lemieux to Saunders: Will Be Blood, Big Punches Saturday Night

[reddplegg]

He won't put up a good fight though. Lemioux is game, until he has no success.

He won't land anything on Saunders, if he close distance he will be turned or tied up, plus the counters and the jab.

This will be GGG level mismatch, trust me.

But know knows if Saunders is worth a hoot as a boxer? Saunders has never beat a quality opponent-. Yet

Lemieux will be the litmus test for BJS.

But no one knows if BJ Saunders is actually any good or not. Lemmie will test the brash Brit but good.

Any one who knows about boxing and has watched Saunders career knows he is good, not the most entertaining, but a really good boxer with skills to pay the bills.

This was a whitewash in Saunders favour, just like I knew it would be. Schooled the b level Lemioux.

**** on the money there mate, the issue with boxing fan is this: If the fight is not from their country and isn’t a high profile name then they probably haven’t seen him fight before, some judge a fighter for the colour of his skin, nationality or resume.

Like you pointed out BJS is an underrated boxer with a high ring IQ, if he takes this seriously then I can see him causing serious issues with both Canelo/GGG winner.

I think a lot of people judge a boxer on the entertainment factor, which I admit BJS isn't a good watch for casual boxing fans, I enjoy watching his foot work and reflexes to avoid a punch.

He's a nightmare for GGG, takes him 12 rounds and makes him miss a lot, not sure he has the firepower to get his respect or win rounds though?

You were dead on, I picked BJS to win by wide points margin too.

Tbf, I doubt many Americans saw him fight and then he sat on that belt for a year. I also thought the criticism against Munroe was undue. It was an extremely easy win for him and he fought in 2nd gear.

I was stunned how well Saunders dismantled and outclassed the sad looking inferior Lemieux. BJ Saunders is way better than most thought and a viable champion who actually could beat GGG and canelo and Jacobs on any given night. Boxing now has another Brit as a force at middleweight. I am now a fan of BJ's.
