Saunders v Lemieux - Bjs to be smashed by Lemieux

[Beanz]

Saunders has turned him into Cletus Seldin being honest.

Lemieux doesn't even have the weaponised elbow.

Really surprised at him, from round 1 zero explosion. Commentators turning Saunders into Will o' the Wisp ffs . Superb boxing from him though.

Lemieux is a flat track bully. He actually had more movement at least up to the Golovkin fight but since then he's regressed and is now just a fat flat footed fucker with a big punch. Nowhere near top level anymore.

Best footwork was in 12. It was non existent the other 11. Tedious fight really. All Lemieux's fault really.

Sublime. If that was Calzaghe we would never have heard the end of it. Pains me that even 'Brits' have to get all mealy mouthed and dismiss it as being down to Lemeiuex. Don't like to crow but have been a huge BJS fan from day one.

Yes, his opponent was very one dimensional but the guy is still dangerous and Saunders had to be on the button all night. Incredibly tiring to maintain that level of concentration and in many ways you would have to say that is Billie's best performance to date. Canelo and Golovkin are another proposition altogether but if the rematch happens in May than a fight against a very dangerous Jacobs would be the perfect preparation.

It's risky but it makes sense as the lad needs challenges. Brilliant performance.

I don't get this, where are the mealy mouthed Brits who have dismissed it as being down to Lemmy?

I've not seen anything but praise for BJS performance, in fact the only person who hasn't gave BJS the praise he deserved for that performance was Lemmy himself, I've looked at all the post fight reactions on YouTube and had a butchers on Twatter but haven't seen much at all of anyone talking down his performance, is it on Facebook or some other forums?

After I watched the fight I went back and watched the undercard and by the time BJS was back on I had the sound down and was reading my book, every time I looked at the screen BJS was just peppering away at Lemmy with no bother at all, it looked even more impressive just randomly looking up at the TV every now and again.

My bad then. Maybe it was just Miles Strange coming from such a huge Calzaghe fan. Anything but tedious for me to be honest.
