Andy Lee-Billy Joe Saunders -- Plus Big Undercard. Sat/BN. Fact.

Jimmy Kelly - err? Fights for Liam Smith's "world" title. Warren is the daddy for serving up "world" title challengers for his mob

Those glasses make him look like a nerd.

At least he is not coming in with the nhs glasses.

Can they make the arena any darker to disguise how empty it is?

Barrie Jones - "ive never seen Kelly box" :D

Good 1st round.

I think Kelly is winning this?

Kelly has a spiteful upercutt

Liam is winning now.

Good fight. Well done the matchmaker (:D)

Vravking headbutt. Smith reminds me of Cotto

That was compassion.

How did the ref not give that as a knockdown?

Kelly fell into the ropes and collapsed is why.

Would you not say that was due to the accumulation of punches he had just took though?
You can't exactly just take a knee in the middle of a round so you can take a breather can you

There was enough time from the punches and him falling to rule it a slip.

Warren doesn't exactly fill me with confidence when talking about Cotto

Smith - the young fighter of the year - treated Jupp like a cunt at the press conference and just got schooled. Brilliant. (even though I lost money :D)

Highlight of the bill for me so far. He stormed off like he'd been told to take himself to the headmaster's office too.

Decent little bill so far. Liam Smith did exactly what he was meant to do, another couple of good scraps, Jupp coming out on top was great. Maybe thought Craig Evans deserved the nod over Thomas Stalker, but a good even contest and can't argue too much.

Andy Lee has the experience, Saunders has the Olympian's pedigree....still not sure which way this one's going to go.

"Hearts on Fire" - Andy Lee has just got my vote based on his ring walk. Hope he has a montage of running in the snow rain, it is Britain after all.

Pleasant surprise! Just realized this was -live- after spending 3 hrs avoiding everything.

Wow

I was just about to post, I don't know why Lee is being so cagey, he should go for it :p Didn't think Saunders could hurt him so easily.

come on Billy Joe, I thought Lee was out the way he went down the first time.
Billy Joe needs to keep his head now

BJS got to be careful now.

Well BJS isn't exactly feather fisted but he's never been a big puncher either so I don't think many people would have thought he could hurt his that easily

Lees the guy you don't want staying around after that kind of hurt.

Must say that I'm a little surprised at how good Billy's D is.

Billy joe is keeping his guard nice and high you can see he's aware of Lees hook

BJS should outpoint him now

Do you think Lee is going to come out swinging soon?

Keeps at this pace the KD's might be difference. Lee's done well to bounce back.

Wish Saunders would let his hands go more often

Saunders taking a lot for granted here, since third have given Lee 4,9,10,11, and clear 12th so far???

Saunders slowed the pace to nothing at times, he was clearly the better fighter, but didn't really do much

Well done Billy, I'm glad he's done it, proper close fight 3 rounds was a wide card though

Had Saunders close. KD's saved it. Saunders went complacent late. Was only a observer in 12th

Must admit I thought it was quite a frustrating fight to watch, as I really thought that Andy Lee would want to come out and really start to throw flurries and be more aggressive from rounds 8-9 onwards. Having taking the two knockdowns in the third, he should have been told by his corner that he couldn't fiddle his way to a home fighter's decision, as he wasn't the home fighter. Maybe Lee was just too wary after the third, and settled for a points defeat?

Respect to BJS, deserved the win, but hoped for more from Andy Lee.

Saunders is very awkward to fight, he's almost lazy with his arrogance and seems to make them look stupid early and then try and cruise the last 6 rounds. He's got some talent though, his range and movement is class.

I was waiting for Lee from probably the 6th onwards to start fighting like he did in the 11th!

BJS champ! get a couple of defences in and then bring on Eubank.
