Comments Thread For: Billy Joe Saunders vs. Martin Murray on April 14, O2 Arena

[Butt stuff]

Style wise this is going to be awful to watch.

[NC Uppercut]

Murray is always finding himself in big fights, dude refuses to go away. With that being said, I hope he beats this asswipe, but it will depend on which BJS shows up. The one that fought Lemieux beats Murray handily, the one that fought Akavov loses a decision to Murray

I couldn’t have said it any better

I like Murray but he's never beaten anyone worth mentioning and he seriously struggled with Rosado last year. At this point in time, you would expect GG, Canelo, Charlo, etc to wreck Murray but for some reason, people don't put these expectations on BJS. They expect less of him (and will call this a "good win" even though it's going to be another tentative BJS stinker like most of his fights) but some of them still pretend he would beat GG, Canelo, Charlo, etc.

Yea, boxing fans have such short memories. Before Lemieux, BJS has several total stinkers. He even managed to make the Andy Lee fight painful to watch.

Imagine people's responses if Canelo or Charlo took a Murray fight.

I see this as a stay busy fight for Saunders.
Its good for him.

keep busy fight against a somewhat decent opponent. Billy wins.

Not sure how Charlo gets put into the same group as Golovkin and Canelo, but never mind

Murray would be a decent opponent for Charlo considering he’s done nothing at the weight

[SceneBoxer]

By doing this fight, BJS put more pressure on GGG-Nelo rematch to happen and then wait on to fight the winner for all the belts. BJS should handle Murray without so much problem.

Exactly, it’s because people have such low expectations of BJS that he can get away with this crap. He would actually give the other big names a good fight as well.

Well, BJS doesn't really have the KOs the rest of the mentioned those.
BJS has had some stinkers recently.
His fight against Monroe wasn't really stellar, especially considering that Monroe had been out of the ring for a year, and had recently become a father.
The Akavov fight.
