    No, I just don't know how either party could save face. Neither has much going on at the moment, so it would be ****** to not make the fight

      Saunders had no choice. Not to suggest that he was avoiding anyone, but he was ordered to fight Andrade or get stripped, and that title is his ticket to a major payday.

      I'm more surprised Andrade took the fight. He doesn't fight anyone.

      I expect BJS to cruise past him.

        Massive, massive props to Saunders on taking such a high risk low reward fighter in Andrade, made me change my PoV on him.
        Saunder isn't a draw even in the UK and can't sell for ****. He had no choice.

          BJS has good fighters in his resume. The likes of Eubank jr and Andy Lee. If he wins against Andrade, that is definitely a good career.

                I was definitely caught off guard considering Andrade had just a week earlier said he wanted two tuneups before he faced BJS. He usually avoids his biggest tests so this was a pleasant surprise.

                  This exactly. I doubt BJ's would drop his belt because it was ordered but im shock Andrade didn't drop out. He's always disappoints hopefully we get to see them in the ring together because it is a good fight.

                  I expect BJ's to UD him and there gonna be some controversy about it though. Feel like half if the fights have some sorta drama about the decision.

                    He's just dancing having a good time! lol

                    It's good to see another caleb plant fan here too. Hopefully he wins the title

                      I’m just wondering who will pull out first before the fight date.
