Re: Saunders vs Lemieux official
So many people on here sucking off Lemieux like he’s a world class fighter with the punch power of Tyson! The guy got put out by Rubio for fuck sake and he’s already been out boxed in his own backyard by some other bum. People are ranking Lemieux so highly based on what? Losing every round and getting stopped by Golovkin in a shitty performance. Saunders will win every round against this bum.

Nobody on here is sucking off Lemieux , they don't rate him that highly . It's just that you are bumming Saunders like he's some kind of boxing genius.
Saunders has decent skills, but his stamina is shocking due to how he lives his life between camps.
He's hardly set the World alight. He beat a disinterested Monroe last time out, got his title by beating a journeyman (albeit a game one) and as for the Eubank fight, if he was conditioned well , he would've made Eubank look like a novice for 12 rounds , not just 6. He tired and made Eubank look better than he was.
In between all that, he has had some shockers.
Lemieux isn't brilliant, but he brings pressure and when Saunders tires, I'm not saying he KO's Saunders, but he can make him look pretty ragged and poor.

Saunders couldn't even win every round against Akavov.
Re: Saunders vs Lemieux official
@Primo Carnera what are you reading!? Plenty on here with David’s dick down their throat. I fucking hate Saunders! He’s a cunt and his last fight was the worst I’ve sat through this year (Lara’s last is up there) but let’s be real, Lemieux was out boxed by Joachim Alcine for fuck sake! Angelo and Macklin both banged out Alcine in a round. He also got knocked out by Rubio (another whipping boy) Saunders will box rings around a fighter like Lemieux who relies on his power and has little else.

Lemieux couldn’t even beat Alcine! He couldn’t even go the distance with Rubio

I'm not saying Lemieux is elite but neither is Akavov.

Mate, I have just gone through every post in this thread, and the most complimentary thing I can find on Lemieux is "Solid Challenger!" It's hardly making him out to be the next Tyson!
The problem is that Saunders can't be trusted to do it right. It's about how he makes the weight, how he trains, how he conditions himself. It's to his advantage that this time , he won't have been out of the gym too long between camps.
If he had home advantage, he would've probably got the decision. Over there, it's a big ask.

It was probably in one of the Alvarez-Golovkin threads then. We were comparing their wins and everyone seemed to think Lemieux was some sort of killer. A middleweight version of George Foreman with a fancy haircut! Hope it happens so Saunders can prove me right although I’d actually rather Lemieux won because I can’t stand Saunders at all.

Looks like you're In a bit of a dilemma then! 😉
All joking aside, I respect that you don't let emotion cloud your judgement and you can make a solid case for someone you can't stand. I try to do that, but find that a lot of people on here struggle with that. 👍
That wraps up the irony of the week comp. (:D)
Re: Saunders vs Lemieux official
For me this is a pick Em fight 50/50.
Yeah on paper BJS should box him silly and win every round if he didn't manage to stop him and I'd expect him to after probably 6-7 months and his second camp with Dominic Ingle.
But Lemieux only has to land a few of those dynamite left hooks and potentially could decapitate Saunders.
Anyone who says he can't bang is watching a different fighter.
Great matchup this.
Re: Saunders vs Lemieux official
Always good when 2 top 10 types get together
Re: Saunders vs Lemieux official
Err.. this is actually happening. Nothing to see here, Saunders, as usual, gave him some verbals (in Canada, so he'll be mental in England), Lemieux laughed.
Bookies can't really split them (11/10 L / 5/6 S)

Re: Saunders vs Lemieux official
I'm picking Lemieux by knockout - has Saunders ever been in with a big puncher? Can't think of one currently. Yes he sometimes plods but I think BJS is overated and will get caught a fair bit... we'll see. Can't wait for this one
Edit: Andy Lee to be fair but this was win by MD
