Billy Joe Saunders vs Andrade Could Actually be the best Fight...

[KingHippo]

...from 154 to 175

Everyone who knows know that this has the potential of being a technical masterpiece for the ages - or a complete dud.

Either way I want to see it. And if Saunders is serious, congratulations to him. He's fighting perhaps the most avoided, overlooked, underappreciated, and underrated champion in the world. And he doesn't get much out of it except a nod from a few nerds. Kudos

Great, two boring counter punchers. It has fight of the year written all over it.

High level matchup, but sleep inducing fight

It's ot going to happen. Saunders is Canelo bait for DAZN, can't risk an L.

Saunders is much more than a counter puncher and if you think he's boring, I sincerely believe you shouldn't watch boxing.

Too me he is. You don't have to like my opinion but is how I feel. I like technical boxers but Saunders repeats himself over and over in a fight.

Southpaw vs southpaw rarely produces fun fights.

It's a necessary fight whatever you think of the potential entertainment value... 'one for the purists' is the terminology I like to use.

That said, who knows? They're both great stylists and technicians but I think they both got some dog in 'em too... either or both might figure it's in their interest to make it a fight just to try to sway the judges.. could go either way (although I'm expecting a excruciatingly cautious technical standoff)

One thing that could make it more exciting than people are saying is that BJS, Andrade both tend to build up early leads in fights and then cruise to a decision in low-risk mode. Which is boring. But maybe if they both go for that early lead here we get a high level close fight because neither will want to risk falling behind. Or one of them takes an early lead and the other digs deep and go all out for a stoppage in the second half of the fight.

Most likely though it will be tentative, I don't mind that as long as we get a clear winner who shows their skills. Worst case scenario is they are both unimpressive. I'd like to see Canelo vs the winner but if they don't look good here it will be hard to see them beating ginger

I actually hate southpaw vs orthodox fights more. I like to see the jab.
