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

[RoadMan94]

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.

you are obviously a bias Canadian Lemieux fan! Instead of complaining about Saunders style, ask your self why Lemieux wasn't good enough to get to Billy Joe? Because he has no skill or finesse literally plod forward throw one big shot, reset, Go again. He's piss poor he's not exciting to watch D Level fighter at most!!! David threatened death and everything then went out and fought like that he Should be emberassed!

it is a silly point.....

he almost said.....

despite the fact that David got whipped like a schoolboy, he will be back on HBO before Saunders..... because the punters like seeing him either knock out no-hopers, or get knocked out by better punchers..... than Saunders

which I agree with

Being a Lemieux fan doesn't mean that somebody is biased, and does not mean they don't appreciate the sweet science. It just means they are a fan of action and knockouts. David's skills are almost as limited as you said, but that doesn't change the fact that he has an exciting style that many fans appreciate. In fact, your assessment of Lemieux's limited skills only helps prove the point that Saunders was overly cautious and probably could have stopped Lemiuex in sensational fashion. Instead, Saunders chose to showboat while putting the crowed to sleep.
