Comments Thread For: Billy Joe Saunders vs. Demetrius Andrade - Deal Reached

[TrillScottHeron]

I so happy this happened. I’ve always been a fan of Andrade’s fighting style, and was hoping he caught that KO from my hometown guys (Charlos). But I’m all for him actually challenging himself for that WBO strap. I’m leaning Andrade atm, but this is definitely looking 50/50. Everyone is reporting this will be on DAZN, so my stream might be slow but I’ll take it.

Are you serious?

Ahhhh, yeah.

[SOLARPLEXUS]

What’s DAZN???

It's an app that launches in September in the US. It will have 16 Matchroom US shows a year, Matchroom UK shows and the world boxing super series.

Interesting fight. I imagine a very tight, chess match with alot of posturing, feints and the occasional counter landing. Both fighters have underwhelmed on more than one occasion. I cant believe I'm saying this but if both are motivated and in shape, I think BJS edges this one. I could be wrong on the prediction but I'm definitely looking forward to the fight if it happens. While it may not create fireworks, it has relevance and should be technically compelling.

Pretty much this. Casual fans wont like it but the ones who know boxing will drool over it.... Im DTW this fight!

Living in the past there bud. Especially at HW. Wilder cant even sell out his backyard, where AJ is selling out stadiums. Just look at the gap between what they each make per fight. This is coming from an American too.

It doesn’t matter, one 15,000-20,000 seat venue in Vegas pulls more at gate than a 100,000 Wembley or 02. It’s the $$$ that talk and if the fight were held here it’d sell out in minutes and record record gates

Yawn. Talk about a snoozefest matchup. These guys should both be matched with athletic punchers in order to produce good fights, not each other.

[New England]

pretty decent fight in a lot of respects. contenders should fight each other. both are prime and athletic. should be high level, you just hope it's not a bad fight to watch because of the styles.

saunders in 12. he's more experienced, has a very professional style in spite of his movement. fight will probably be boring, but these fights need to happen.

[FinitoxDinamita]

This fight has potential stinker written all over it, boring as ***. I dont get why ya are so excited here. Only thing refreshing is the fact that Andrade is facing a live body but stylistically, him vs Saunders might be real boring.

Andrade has to be the aggressor cuz if he foolishly lays back and tries to be a counter puncher, they gonna stink out the joint..
