Andy Lee vs. Billy Joe Saunders

[Freedom]

What are your thoughts and predictions for this one?

[ross]

Lee will struggle with Saunders style. Saunders on points.

[p4pking]

I think Lee knocks him out.

[Beanz]

I am a big BJS fan, have been since day one. I also have been very dismissive of both Booth and Lee. Lee proved in his last triumph though, a patience and ability to box to orders that surprised me. Booths plan and advice were invaluable and should be a lesson to people like Eubank Jr. Lee can really dig and I am worried that Billie does not have the power to keep him at bay for 12 rounds. I hope Saunders can use his speed and smarts to move and outfox Lee but I can see Lee catching him and stopping him midway. Hopefully I'm wrong. I usually am :-)

i think saunders will win on points

although he might not

Absolute Pick em fight and a brilliant matchup - Boxer v Puncher

@Greenbeanz is bang on what he says about Adam Booth who has got Lee fighting much better now and
you can tell they are really close and get on well.

Booth will no doubt have another gameplan but Lee is gonna be chasing shadows for a while but as we know Saunders does and will slow down after the halfway point and Lee has got serious KO power.

This is gonna be better than the Eubank fight because Lee is an honest fighter who won't be pissing about and waste half the fight with his arrogant BS attitude, he'll dig in and go for this and i wouldn't be surprised if he does infact Bang Saunders out around 9 rounds.

Saunders is a brilliant fast fighter though and for me this will boil down to whether or not Saunders can take Lee's power.

I seriously doubt he can and i can see Lee landing bombs late on.

Maybe Lee by KO late on but i wouldn't bet money on this one

I dont see Lee catching Saunders.

I think Saunders is one of those fighters who has and will be underestimated and always looked at when in whith good fighters thst its a toss up where im pretty sure Lee will be made to look ordinary here.

Wasnt he getting outpointed in both his recent fights? He needs to catch you.

Problem is that Saunders was running out of gas and easy to hit and taking shots late on against an opponent (Eubank Jnr) who did absolutely fuck all in the first 5-6 rounds.

Lee will make him fight from the off and if he's still there in the latter rounds is obviously gonna start landing those huge shots.

Lee hits way way harder than Eubank Jnr

I quite like Billy Joe in this too. Lee was getting whooped in both his last two fights before finding the straightener. Lee is obviously the puncher and stronger but Billy Joe has never been down.

Fresh slick lefty vs a guy that catches every punch thrown regardless of where it's aimed.

Is this fight happening? I read that Lee might face Quillin for the same belt that Quillin vacated in avoiding the fight with Korobov.

Lee and Kid Ovaltine is signed and part of the Haymon/NBC/Showtime coming out party.

I dont think the fight is going to happen. Rumours are that Lee is vacating to fight Quillin in New York for a guaranteed purse of 1mil. Any how Skybet are 2/1 BJS to beat Lee if the fight takes place. Cracking bet if you can get on!
