I think Saunders can beat him yes, Saunders isn't a big puncher I think he's very hard to tag tho, I'd bet on billy joe :)
I feel happy for Andy Lee, yet sad for Korobov, who had great potential at one time but was poorly promoted by Bob Arum until he regressed.
Yes Korobov looked at one time to be a future Champ, but he needed to beat Lee he was the bettingQuote:

I wonder if Warren will push for Saunders v Lee for the 28th of February show he has at the O2?
Could also set up a big rematch between Saunders and Eubank!
Can't agree! What was Arum supposed to do, keep the man away from the big boys. Korobov might still be a champion some day, one loss is nothing to be ashamed and doesn't mean his career is dead in the water.Quote:

Lee is pushing for the fight to be in the 3 Arena in Dublin Ive been told. Would Saunders travel?Quote:

I think Lee would pummel Saunders. Impressed that he hurt Korobov last night with another akward right hook, not that unlike the one he knocked out Jackson with in his last fight. At that time I thought it was maybe a hail mary but it seems like a real weapon now. Saunders is a fine boxer and might make it tough for a while, but he isn't physically on the same level imo. Lee isn't going to do nothing for 6 rounds then start relying on corkscrew uppercuts, he can actually fight.
I think its a 50/50 fight. Id slightly favor whoever has home advantage
Andy Lee has fuck all to do with Warren. He's promoted by Lou DiBella. The Billy Joe fight, which is great by me, will only happen if he doesn't get a million other lucrative offers, which he will. There's no reason why Lee's next fight, which he wants in Dublin, couldn't be on SKY, Warren would never allow that with Billy Joe.
It would have been Macklin if he didnt fuck things up with his last fight.Quote:

Eubank deserves jack shit. Back of the queue and bring something other than your surname to the table.Quote:

Excellent performance from Lee. Impressive power. Lee doesn't look particularly powerful for much of a fight, then suddenly bang and he has his opponent reeling. I would love to see how Golovkin takes one of them power shots, but Brockton will probably get Golovkin first.
Let's be honest , with the exception of BBB, Lee would go the same way as every other MW in the World!Quote:

I think Saunders would outpoint him and he knows it, but it Wouldn't surprise me if Warren doesn't get the fight for him.

Post fight interview
Well done by Lee, who has been written off by everyone at some point in time in his career. I am happy for Andy to achieve this level of potential so far. He's been at it a long time, and certainly deserves credit for winning this title despite previous setbacks.
Jermain Taylor would be a good choice for a unification bout but he's having some legal issues at the moment.
Felix Sturm is a good choice, not terribly dangerous
Miguel Cotto/Canelo Alvarez winner would be a great choice, big money
I'm not sure what Pete Quillen is going to do but he too could be a contender again for his old belt.
It will be an interesting choice I am sure, Andy isn't in bad fights.
Doesn't Lee have to fight Saunders within 90 days (or a set time period)? I'm pretty sure he does. If that is the case then it comes down to Lou and Frank doing a deal. De Bella used to be Warren's US representative a decade ago so they shouldn't have a problem doing a deal.
If Saunders can stay out of thew way of that right hook I think he easily outworks Lee.
Saunders may stand a good chance, but Lee has put his last 2 opponents in la la land should beQuote:
