    Funny that Eubank Jr, Andy Lee and Lemieux were supposed to kill him but didn't and now they are B/C level fighters!

    Saunders is really underrated, this is mainly because he comes across as a bit of a moron lol

      What makes Andrade elite, who has he beaten to deserve elite status?

        Very glad they did the fight, I thought they would not agree to fight eachother giving their history.

        50-50 fight imho, Saunders is a great boxer when he is at his best (Lemieux version) but Andrade is what I consider a slick ankward guy.

        Very close to call but If you asked me I'd pick Andrade, I think his reach, movement and footwork wil win him a close ud.

          Your right about both points. Saunders is an underrated boxer until hes last fight, and hes also a complete nobhead whos hard to root for. He may get outspeeded here, but i think he has the edge in chin. Andrade looks a little fragile.

The WBO middleweight champion will defend his title against the American across the Atlantic in October. We came to a deal with Andrade's promoter just five minutes before we were about to enter purse bids to stage the fight.

              Beat? Probably. Dazzle? Doubtful.

                Saunders dazzled Lemieux.

                But I don't think he will beat Andrade, this is such a dangerous fight. I'm surprised he took it.

                  I'm surprised either of them took it to be honest. These two turds are known to talk a bunch of crap about a top opponent when they know they aren't available to fight, then disappear when they are available.

                  Andrade really isn't anything special and he's done nothing of note in years. He hasn't even fought a good middleweight yet so in my opinion, Saunders has the advantage.

                    Andrade has been inactive a lot, which should help BJS.

                    But when Andrade is on he is a tremendous boxer. If that guy shows up we will be looking at the new WBO middleweight champion of the world.

                    I'm actually excited about this fight.
