    He had me fooled. He can box, but it's that boring type.

      Saunders won't win any popularity contests, but even the haters haveta admit he's a great boxer. I actually think he'd make GGG look worse than Canelo made him look.

          Unification time. GGG vs Saunders in the UK. Canelo vs Saunders (WBO Middleweight) will be like Canelo vs Smith(WBO Super Welter), not to many PPV buys.

            He's much a better boxer than Liam Smith.
            It'd get more PPV's after tonight's performance.

              Depends what you like.
              I thought it was an excellent performance and enjoyed watching it. Not all great performances are blast outs.

                  Beautiful boxing. Hit and not get hit. Movement, angles, feints. Almost punch perfect.

                  I think if he had stepped on the gas after round 7 & 8 he would have definitely stopped him. 7 & 8 he beat the **** out of Lemieux. Played it safe after that which is fair enough but I'd have liked to have seem him step it up a bit more and close the show.

                  The only people that think it's boring at the ones who don't actually appreciate pure boxing skills.

                    Agreed, hit and not get hit. Sweet science won tonight

                      I think he eluded to it in his post fight interview with BT Sports. He would've jumped on him in previous fights, but Dominic Ingle has reigned him in. Didn't need to and the game plan was perfect.
