Billie Joe Saunders v Matthew Hall - Boxnation Thursday Fight

[armyash]

Thanks for the updates, just had a chance to check back in.

I think Saunders can go on and do well, not sure what to expect really, he needs to get some proper momentum going and show us something special. Looks good from what I have seen though and it doesn't hurt to be going the distance now. Good for ring fitness, if he was bashing everybody out in a couple of rounds everyone would be raving about him, but then he could cme unstuck in a long hard fight and everyone would turn on him.

He has the fitness and skills now, just needs progressively tougher opponents to keep improving and i'm sure the power will develop to bring some good stoppages. If it doesn't then a wins a win however it comes.

He didnt purposefully carry Hall to get rounds in. He threw everything at Hall in I think the 9th round to put him away and he couldnt. He knackered himself and was very greatfull it was only a blown up british journeyman in front of him and nothing more. Also, Hall did hurt him a few times as you could see with the stupid show boating. Who needs to put a show on that they have not been hurt against a british level jouneryman?

Skeete is a good and sometimes exciting fighter.

Saunders does lack power and if he has any intention to further his career at the highest level he should us more body punching and have the fitness to go the distance without losing concentration.

I don't think that guys who do turn pro young such as Saunders, Cleverly etc should be too worried about a lack of power early on in their careers.

Body punching definitely looked like a potential weapon for Saunders, as he was digging in quite well, although maybe not frequently enough.
