Comments Thread For: Trainer: Saunders Could've Finished Lemieux, But Wanted Rounds

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

When Billy Joe Saunders saw how his punches had affected a bloodied, beaten David Lemieux, he wanted to finish off his powerful opponent. Without trainer Dominic Ingle in his corner, that's the instinct Saunders would've pursued Saturday night. Ingle instead instructed him to be patient and the skillful southpaw picked apart Lemieux on his way to a unanimous-decision win in their 12-round fight for Saunders' WBO middleweight title at Place Bell in Laval, Quebec, Canada.

Yes I'm sure this guy whos been clowned on for looking like sh vs bums, didn't ko Lemule because he didn't feel like it.

Hahaha foh. Cliche af

He probably could have piled on enough for a stoppage but at much greater risk, no need for the ego BS he boxed Lem’s head off, it was a great win

Saunders doesn't have power to just take guys out when he wants too. Why go more rounds and take a chance of getting out away if you could just end the fight and put it away?

I thought he could have turned the screw after that 7th round and forced a stoppage, maybe not a clean KO.

Obviously didn't see the need to take risks. I don't think anyone "chooses" to get rounds against dangerous fighters, why would you give them a chance even if you're schooling them?

If he went for the knock out he would've risked getting knocked out himself.
