    He aint bad to be honest Commonwealth games gold medallist in 2006, beat Degale along the way if memory serves, decent jab, rangy boxer again if I remember rightly. Saunders will beat him but its a decent step up in grade again for BJ.

    Wow, sounds like a good matchup! Is it a foregone conclusion that Saunders will win or will Fletcher test him?

    I've heard Fletcher is decent, as said he beat Chunky on route to winning it. As a pro been quite steady and this is sort of live test that Billy Joe needs IMHO.

    BJ is the wrong style for Fletcher, he has a decent jab and is rangy but I don't think he will deal with the pressure style of BJ. He may work the jab nicely for a while but I would not be surprised if he got broken down and stopped around the 8th, however you could not knock the match up, its a very good one and hopefully it will not disappoint

    Good fight for Billy Joe! He's coming along nicely and this should further develop him.

    Enjoy watching Billy Joe, he has a brilliant range of punches and his selection is perfect. Good to see him seemingly step up, just wish he was more active.

    Beat degale then blitzed the big punching adonis stevenson in the final. Should be a ripper of a fight. fletcher posesses lightning speed and movement. fletch will prove to muh of a handfull for saunders
