Comments Thread For: Billy Joe Saunders Makes Statement, Easily Dominates David Lemieux

[BoxingIsGreat]

Rubios left overs, oh my bad its GGGs greatest win lol

That's the sad part about Golovkin's resume.

Suanders is not elite in any way shape or form,tonight reinforced that he can only beat 1 dimensional nobodies like lemule & he still didn't really do much of anything.

Saunders is probably elite. And an assh*ole. Great combination.

I really thought Lemieux would win. Guess BJS was just too lazy to take his past fights seriously

[jaded]

It's kind of funny how many people voted for Saunders by decision after the fight ended. Before the fight it was Lemieux by KO by an overwhelming margin.

[aboutfkntime]

Lol I remember people telling me Lemieux would KO Canelo if they fought. Lemieuxs been very overrated since the GGG fight. Was hoping he could pull it off tonight. But BJS a class above him.

wasn't that insane ?

guess who's fans were saying that ?

[Lemonhead_Jeff]

Yea, that's what I'm saying. He should have been punching out of those clinches. Saunders was holding but Lemieux should have been working to free one hand and just **** to the hips instead of just accepting the clinch so easily.

Oh well. You're 100% right. He did indeed look inept. The biggest thing I guess was not being able to cut off the ring. That would have forced much more infighting, which he needed imho.

David has been able to catch other fighters that used movement, like the French guy with the hard to say name. But not many fighters have the level of adept movement that Saunders showed tonight. Much of that is probably due to Lemieux being inept, but Canelo will probably never fight him now, and I'm not sure if Golovkin would even be able to catch him effectively. Even though BJS was able to hit David at will, and probably could have stopped him if wanted to, his style is really not conducive to exciting fights. Lemieux made BJS look almost as skillful at using movement for defense as Lomachenko looks using movement for offense.

Please see my other post, as I predicted this.
