    BJS vs LEE is going to be HUGE fight and will take place where ever they feel the biggest crowd will turn up.

    Croke park in Dublin might be an option as this fight should be able to draw 20,000 plus in the Republic of Ireland.

    There's going to be 2 MASSIVE fights involving Irish heritage fighters next year on Boxnation.

    BJS vs Lee
    Fury vs Klitscho.

    Agreed.

    The Gaelic grounds in Limerick holds 50,000.

    A fight between BJS and LEE could draw 25,000 no problem.

    You read that on wiki? pretty sure that's a mistake... Romani gypsies come from India, and look pretty different from Western Europeans. Saunders is an Irish Traveler, not a Roma.

    Lee vs Saunders is a great fight. I would go with Lee on points.

    BJS is all wrong for Andy IMO. Apart from being a southpaw he is totally different from Korobov, and the 'part-southpaw' Jackson.
    BJS will not be there for Andys hail mary right hook.....

    Lee does really well against better opposition and better boxers, its when he has no fear that he fights bad ala Fitzgerald, Vera 1 and Horta etc, I think Lees height and reach advantage would actually make this fight easy for Andy and he would win on points handy enough, Saunders has a good chin.

    I'm thinking this too. There is no guarantee that Fury will fight Wlad this year- Jennings in April and then either Stiverne/Wilder in the autumn for all the marbles. Could work in Fury's favour in the medium term as I doubt Wlad will keep going as soon as he reaches Joe Louis' defences record in a few fights.

    As for Lee/Saunders I'd favour Lee on points.

    No chance.

    Fury vs Klitschko will almost definately be on Boxnation.

    Agreed.

    Knockouts cause amnesia, Lee was getting spanked by Jackson and was pretty much 5-0 down against Korobov before he pulled out the knockouts.

    Same thing will happen versus BJS, he'll get outboxed but will always have the chance of of knockout punch.
