Depends which BJS turns up, it’s his fight to lose!
Billy Joe Saunders vs Demetrius Andrade Will Likely Be Next. Who You Got?

I got BJS.....for the length of time he was out and supposed weight gain,bjs looked pretty damn sharp and accurate in his last fight,albeit against a faded Murray. Was surprised to see him sitting on punches a little more and actually trying to get the KO the last couple rds. Andrade just gets too sloppy at times and I think Billy picks him apart when he does.Comment

I’ve gone bjs but I think that’s more because he is a Brit and I would prefer him to win - I really don’t know. Both stylistically similar fighters and really could go either way. I imagine this wouldn’t be the most exciting fight but would be a true tactical fight I would like to see. I think it really is the true definition of a 50/50 and would likely go to judges so hopefully no silly judges cards!Comment

I think Saunders makes it into a little bit of a dog fight which will suit him better, I think, than Andrade. This fight would definitely tell us what Andrade has though and I will be looking forward to it if it comes off. I have BJS in a similar type fight to his with Monroe. An 8-4 type decision. Where he makes it a rough fight and bullies Andrade and outworks him most rounds.
Good possibility as well though that BJS can't get in range against Andrade who keeps him cautious on the outside with his length and range. In that case it is a complete chess match where each guy tries to steal rounds, only engaging each other a few times per round.
Will be interesting if BJS can get into his head at all too. Seemed to help him vs MonroeComment

I am more interested in the outcome of that fight, than the fight it self.
That would be the most boring fight ever seen.Comment

You know.. I realize more & more everyday that most boxing fans/boxers aren't even fans of actual boxing. It took me awhile to actually grasp that in a way. I just had an epiphany, such a euphoric feeling.
boring = "a fighter that doesn't get hit & is responsible on defense." Exemplifying what any knowledgeable teacher would instill in a fighter.
*Serious question* Why are you on this site? What keeps you coming back?Comment

You know.. It's crazy to me that BJS has all these believers. I almost get a Broner vibe from him in a sense that he talked his way into having all these believers. The guy who's apologized performance after performance even his latest! Or whatever he was saying. I'm honestly baffled. But I guess I'm gonna make a bunch of money like I was supposed to in 2018 so I can't complain. (Allow me to rant please)
This man has openly, proudly, blatantly avoided Andrade. Tested positive once for the biggest fight of his career against: you guessed it, Andrade & has looked mediocre as fućk since! Went life & death with Akavov & won a controversial decision who didn't win 1 round against Andrade..
You can't find me ONE picture or video of Andrade out of shape like BJS!
We don't factor marketability into skillset. These dudes think because he's a Gypsy like Fury that he's gonna just turn up & be beating elite competition. Fury may be the best Heavyweight of his era but he's also big as fùck & only gets away with it cause the division he's in, aren't known for having great skills. Said it before I'll say it again that division is very overrated. Him & BJS are both emulators but that's too much game for y'all so I won't elaborate. But it's crazy to me that there's STILL ppl who think BJS can beat multiple top names knowing he's not dedicated. Imagine if Floyd had this mindset you think he'd be 50-0? I think not. With all the arrogance & brovado Floyd had, & truly believing he was "god gifted" he never let that take precedent over his work ethic, never took it for granted. GGG would destroy me & you on the same night. Imagine Floyd saying some shÌt like that about a rival.
I think aside from the fact BJS has fought at 168 he has maybe 1 advantage over Andrade. 1!!
Ppl say Andrade is sloppy he throws looping punches as if that's all he throws. He doesn't throw any other punches but just loopy wide punches all night. Wide jab & wide straight left. SMH People only pay attention to the "obvious" & what catches their eye. Andrade was the favorite to win the gold medal in the Olympics he got robbed in, same one BJS lost in. He's a master boxer, with a ring IQ that never gets talked about. 3x 2 division champion. You think a fighter with this background don't know how to make adjustments
We talking about one of the best defensive fighters in boxing. Another thing he doesn't get credit for, check the statistics.
What can't Andrade do in the ring that matters in terms of being the difference between winning & losing? Within reason cause obviously no man is unbeatable.
This dude talking about how much he learned fighting Martin Murray TF you think he gon learn fighting Andrade then.
If you're apprised by him, then Andrade is going to shock the hell out of you. I don't feel I should even have to list all the things he does superior to Murray. But whatever veteran tricks you think he has, Andrade has had them tenfold.
When ppl show you who they are believe them. But it seems the average fan is a sucker for a wordsmith. So much faith in a man that pulls out of fights then brags saying he "signed the contract" butu told us you was injured & wouldn't have been available for the date? & this is with whom y'all place y'all faith? The same guy that said if he knew he was gonna lose a fight he would not take it? The same guy who said around the time of the cancellation of the original Andrade fight (& I'm paraphrasing)The self doubt is seeping through his pores. His spirit tells him the writings on the wall, that's why he told Andrade he should fight his mandatory no more than a month ago. That flip flopping, do it when you feel like Fury bs is not gonna work in this division.it's like everything was going wrong for me for that fight, like I shouldn't be fighting him or something.
He ain't even the better "boxer" of the "boxers." No way you can say it with confidence. Why? Cause look at the margin he wins by. It's not dominant & if it is its not successively so. It's off & on, in between, here & there, more WHEN I FEEL LIKE IT. Smh end of the rant.Comment
