Abel Sanchez: Saunders beat a punching bag, a guy with two left feet

[Motorcity Cobra]

I think he is a good boxer,” Sanchez said. “But you have to look at a career and previous fights. Three fights ago he could not or should not be in the same ring with GGG, now he beats a punching bag and someone with wishful thinking and a platform wants to anoint him the best ever. In GGG and Canelo, he is talking about two exceptional, proven middleweights, and not in just one fight.”

Saunders looked mediocre against Artur Akavov (in December 2016) and now he fights a guy with two left feet, on a Sunday stroll, of course he had ring generalship!” Sanchez said.

“I am not saying he would not make for an interesting fight, maybe not the most appealing, not the most fan friendly jog-a-thon…and his demands will determine if he ever gets those elite fighter fights

.”

He's not wrong... Lemieux looked like a punching bag.

But the same one his fighter fought.And really prob like the 4th or so best fighter on his resume.

Funny I remember hearing a week or so ago that he thought it was a 50/50 fight. He's worse than a NSB Troll.

Sanchez calling ggg's 2nd best win of his career trash lol.

Lemieux-Saunders was even less competitive than ggg-Lemieux.

No it wasn't. Not even close actually.

Abel chatting **** as per usual. He was singing lemieuxs praises in the buildup with G fight. I think abel may have some form of repetitive denim syndrome from wearing those crusty jeans he always has on.

I'm guessing the starch/fabric has intertwined with his DNA and he currently runs on windows XP as opposed to windows 10 which he could have been operating on. He has as much nous as a garden plant these days. Just sitting in big bear intaking photonic energy from the cali sun and photosynthesizing nomadic thought forms.

Lemieux was dominated but he was landing on ggg here and there, he barely touched Saunders. Practically all of ggg's fights are the same, his opponents do land even after they get knocked down.

I agree. Saunders embarrassed Lemieux. Golovkin respected his power too much and basically carried him until the TKO.

Golovkin isn't anywhere near as defensive minded as Saunders, so he's bound to get hit. Saunders might've been able to stop LePew but he wasn't willing to risk getting knocked out himself.
