They had the presser this week and both were very respectful of each other. But look at the stare down. Lee is so much bigger than Saunders, how much of a factor is that for this fight?

Size is only a factor if a fighter knows how to take advantage of his. Andy Lee has great skill, but he does have a hard time keeping a fighter off of him in order to have space to work. Andy can push/paw with the jab too much and it costs him, he's eaten loads of punches coming right over the top of that jab. Now, he's been on a bit of a run here recently, maybe Adam Booth has his confidence back at a high level or something, but he's shown well in his recent fights. I don't know much about Saunders other than he had a close fight with Eubank Jr. For Saunders to win he'll have to keep his head moving, keep Andy backing up, and be wary of the massive counters Andy can throw.
Saunders has some really good wins on his record including; Eubank, Ryder, Blackwell, O'Sullivan, Jarod Fletcher and some unbeaten Italian...they are his stand out wins and there are some big names there domestically. He's beaten others too who are known in the UK.
Id give a slight edge to BJS in this fight but home advantage is likely to play a factor in a distance fight. I cant see BJS stopping Lee despite Lee’s losses coming by way of knockout. If anyone getting stopped its Billy.
It will be abit of a chess match but as it progresses BJS will pull away just as Lee has been on the losing end early in his last 3 fights. He always seems to have bad starts but has the power to come back into it and it will be called upon here. Saunders has always looked reliable in the chin department although will have never faced power light the right hook of Andy posseses. Eubank shook him once or twice in their fight but he never really lost his composure and was able to keep it together under pressure. Whilst looking for the perfect punch Lee will be losing the rounds I think but the threat of his power will make it entertaining and watchable throughout.
I think Saunders takes a decision even away from home with clever boxing but I hope Im wrong and Lee is able to rescue his title with another come from behind KO victory

You say tomato,
‘n I say …… it correctly.
Lee is going to destroy Saunders.
That was the friendliest press conference ever. There's another one in London on Monday, wonder if they'll be told to spice it up a bit.
Not sure who I fancy, keep changing my mind. Slightly favour Lee at the moment because he's the puncher of the two but Lee must be running out of 'get out of jail free cards.'
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
I honestly suspect that Saunders only needs someone with a Euro-competent skill set and a bit of determination to beat him.
Lee is riding high, so I pick him by wide UD.
