It's make or break for Billy Joe Saunders.

[W1LL]

Demetrius Andrade is a decent opponent. If Billy Joe beats him most fat Yanks will discredit the win and claim Andrade was overhyped, but he's actually a very dangerous opponent. Even worse, he's gone under the radar for a while and isn't that big of a name. Definitely a member of the "Who Needs Him?" club. If Billy Joe ducks and/or vacates, I will lose a lot of respect for the man.

That's just what he will do, He's fighting Degale next which is a cash grab fight and then a Eubanks jr rematch!

Saunders moves have shown me he's the type thats looking for cash grab fights, Andrade simply is a huge risk with little to nothing in rewards sadly!

Even if Saunders beat him, people will say Andrade beat nobody!

[W1LL]

The only route which would keep his reputation intact would be a win over James DeGale, then a fight with the winner of the WBSS Super Middleweight final. I could accept him vacating for that. Otherwise, it's disappointing.

I am glad Saunders is being ordered to defend his title against a worthy challenger who has not already been knocked out by GGG. Something he has refused to do on his own as champion. Jacobs tried to get a fight with him. He fought Monroe, Lemieux and almost fought Murray. Now he must fight a decent fighter who has never lost. It's about time. The same goes for Andrade who has yet to beat a top middleweight and seems to avoid tough fights. The winner of this fight can truthfully say he beat a top middleweight.

This is a massive fight (If it happens) for both fighters. They both NEED this fight for their reputation. I wouldn't even talk about this fight until they both get in the ring first.

Andrade is better than a decent fighter. At his best he could give anyone hell at MW and beat them. He had a bad performance vs Culcay, but aside from that he hardly loses any rounds. If BJS beats him, then that would be a very good win for him…… and vice versa.

BJS v DeGale does nothing for me.

BJS v DeGale does nothing for me.

Absolutely nothing. Degale is barely scrapping by a high end journeyman in Traux. Dirrell KOd him in one round FFS. Jacobs took a lot longer but pretty much dominated every round after the first few rounds. Degale is FOOD, and everyone knows it. But I am part of Degale's team, I'm trying to cash him out ASAP. So if that is against BJS or Eubank Jr, then so be it.

I agree. He needs to fight Andrade or he'll be a laughing stock. That said, I think that's a good, even matchup.
