Comments Thread For: Lemieux's Promoter Expects To Be Back on HBO Before Saunders

..... who cares about fatass casual fans ?

I dunno. Probably some of the irresponsible people who are responsible at HBO.

HBO is NOT the only game in town!!

Oh and Danny Jacobs is already calling BJS out for a date on .....HBO!!!

They were rhetorical questions.
Only ingenuous pseudo-experts are calling that a 'masterclass'. Let's hope Saunders accepts the Jacobs fight on.....HBO!!!

Lemieux is trash. Doesn't deserve to be on HBO again unless its as an opponent or as a PPV opener or something.

Saunders may to have the most casual-friendly style but he will be back because he's a top contender and a threat to anyone in the division. Lemieux and his delusional team have proven twice now that he is no threat to the top fighters at all.

He also has one of the weirdest bodies I've seen, somehow manages to look fat and massively weight drained at the same time.

There is really nothing Lemieux can do to live down last week...he got schooled for 12 rounds straight and looked like crap.

This image sums it all up...

Lemieux Promised blood (His Own Face was bust up Nose Bleeding).. Lemieux Also Warned Death (His Career Surely died after that performance!!).. Sheesh doesn't David and all his Fans look awfully silly now 👍😂

The vast majority of HBO subscribers who tuned-in that night were not there to watch Saunders move around defensively. They tuned-in to see Lemieux knock-out some British cream puff. Do you think that Saunders style made them want to see more of him?
Congratulations to Saunders on the victory, but he didn't really do himself many favors when it comes to marketing himself to a new audience.
To be fair, that much movement is out-of-character for Saunders, and it was obviously motivated by the threat of Lemieux's power. But who's to say he wouldn't flee around the ring from Golovkin in a similar unappealing way?

But then again, HBO has been making some baffling moves lately. Who knows what they'll do.

This is a terrible post. Saunders didn’t just move around the ring, he beat the brakes off of Lemieux. He kept Lemieux off balance to where he could set up to throw power shots for a good part of the fight and evaded the shots when Lemieux was able to throw. I suspect that even most casual fans who tuned in expecting to see a Lemieux ko were entertained by the beat down. Of course fans in the crowd rooting for Lemieux were going to boo.

If you think Saunders put on a 'masterclass' that night,
then I guess you must think Yves Ulysse is Sugar Ray Robinson. Ulysse put on a similar defense-first display, but he did it much more impressively than Saunders did. They were both fighting similar fighters, but Ulysse scored three knockdowns, and actually chose to stand in front of Seldin for an entire round. Saunders was effective, but he would have stopped Lemieux if he had been more efficient (and less frightened). I understand people appreciating Saunders' recent defense-first victory, but don't try to say that Saunders is an exciting TV-friendly fighter.

Saunders out on an impressive and entertaining performance. So did Ulysses. You’re babbling on about nothing. Don’t be a hater.
