    I'm sure there are plenty who want to see the knob Saunders lose his belt but i think he fights well with good counters to be the deserved winner. Whether the cards say that is another story

      the sorry part is, this is probably true...why are the travelers disrespected and hated so much over there?

        Probably because the two well-known "travelers" seem to behave obnoxiously.

          A minority give them a very bad name. Things like letting their kids **** in swimming pools and throw rubbish around restaurants. I used to get a bus to work on a Sunday and traveler kids would be wanking on it.

          It is a minority though. Most travelers are decent people who happen to have a different way of life.

            As a British boxing fan I echo these sentiments, I hope Lemieux ices Saunders. Although I can see BJS grinding out a decision if he’s on his game. Hoping Lemieux lands that big left hook though!

              A good portion of them act like BJS and Fury does, I assume that is why they have a bad rep to their name.
              They seem to stick to their own and they don't really get on good with others outside of that Traveller community.

                Lemieux knows none of those 'on his side' will help him on fight night. And he also knows his boxing skills are unfortunately very limited, and will be especially so vs Saunders. He has a punchers chance, but for him that's about it. I'd be amazed if he won, but would definitely salute him if that happens. BJS may be boring to watch, but he gets the job done and will likely do the same this time.

                  BJS and Fury when "on" seem to be hard working , entertaining (can crap talk) and back it up.. and behind the facade they seem to be humble and good hearted folks.
