Interesting that Saunders says if Lee was going to be forced to defend against him that Lee was going to vacate.

The Quillen fight was happening with a belt or without by the sounds of it.

This leaves Billy fighting the likes of Blackwell again.

M actually happy for him if he is. Being in America a British opponent wont wash so hopefully he will get a relatively decent test. I have underrated Saunders I believe. I cant accept iv over rated Eubank and Eubanks next fight will hopefully prove me right.

I think Saunders beats Lee. Not sure about Quillen as have never seen him fight but if Saunders wins the WBO and Eubank wins the WBA regular after beating Chudinov and Jacobs it sets up a big unification between the two then potentially Golovkn for the winner.

Why would Lee take BJS over Quillin?? Makes no damn sense!

Money?

There was no real good reason for Quillen to vacate the title. It has just meant he has been inactive, sitting on the side lines, training but not getting paid and having to justify it in interviews for no good reason.

So Saunders gets a six-figure payday for doing nothing, a spot on the Lee-Quillin undercard in New York and remains mandatory for the title? I think that's what you call a result.

[Fenster]

Andy Lee - winning that "world" title has always been his dream and defending it back home in Ireland will be the proudest moment of his life.

Two months later he's fighting back in America and was willing to dump the belt for the dosh. Boxing is great....

[Fenster]

Peter Quillin - by refusing to face his mandatory he loses out on a $1.4m career high payday and has to dump the WBO title.

Six months later is challenging for WBO title. Boxing is....

Frank is no mug is he you could see this coming a mile off,! just as I said stand to one-side money
BJS is on to a winner and so is Frank.

@Fenster ... the issue speaks for itself. Quillin must have been afraid of Korobov's pedigree afterall. lololol.... Andy Lee wasn't.

[Fenster]

I highly doubt Quillin was scared. I think most boxers would fight king kong if you offered enough dough.

Al Haymon + RocNation don't currently mix. Boxing politics. Completely mad.

Apparently they paid Saunders 6 figs to step aside. Not a bad nights work for sitting on his ass? THink hell be on the undercard in his US debut and will get a shot at the winner if he wants. Id fancy him against either of the 2 to be honest. He'll prob be a decent price against Quillen too.
