Saunders vs Lemieux official

[Memphis]

I think people (not here as such) are getting carried away with Lemieux's punching power and jumping to the conclusion that Saunders is getting flattened.


I still dont like the fucker but for me, Saunders stands him on his head.

Yeah, he can punch a bit but he won’t land clean and even if he does Saunders chin doesn’t seem that bad. It’ll be a shut out for the far better boxer against a very overrated puncher.

I actually agree with GayMo on this one.
BJS has a decent chin and I think he'll take a few big shots but ultimately will win on points after outboxing Lemmy

Saunders wins this and he has his GGG or Canelo fight next year..

We haven't seen the best of BJS.

I think Saunders just has to make it through the first few rounds and then it probably becomes his fight. He took some decent shots from Lee and kept himself out of the wheelhouse. He's a better boxer than Lemieux, so presumably if he doesn't pork up between fights and keeps himself sharp, he just uses his jab and footwork to play bullfighter the first few rounds.

Lemieux tends to load up which is a big tell. After he blows his wad in the first few, his shots become a lot easier to see because the wind up is slower and easier to spot. If Saunders keeps his back off the ropes, stays out of the corners, jabs and doesn't go straight back... he can put lemieux behind on the cards and Lemieux's desperation means he'll start loading up even more.

Lemieux could land a shot conceivably if he uses his jab and backs Saunders up and loops one over the top or sneaks one underneath on the left side on a panic stricken Saunders. For me the pro Saunders situation is easier to fathom because its not as much of a stretch for Saunders against a plodder. Lemieux working on his head movement and learning to deflect with his shoulders to create opportunities for himself on the inside before Saunders makes his exit, would up my stock in Lemieux for this fight.

The x factors are of course:

• The hometown advantage
• The weight issue, both fighters have a tendency to bloat, Lemieux tends to get stronger at the cost of endurance and Saunders just gets pudgy winded and looks disinterested overall.
• Whether enough Saunders Jab has enough on it to get lemieux thinking or just have him reset.

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.

@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.

Saunders couldn't even win every round against Akavov.
