    Saunders actually got some savvy winning rounds against Eubank Jr.. I'd favour Saunders in the battle of the travellers.

    Lee like most of his fights was 6-0 before the KO.

    Yes, but being way down on the cards and relying on a Hail Mary shot to nail you out in NO KIND. OF PLAN!

    At least not IMO, anyway. It has to backfire on him sometime and I believe Joe is the guy Andy would NOT nail.

    If BJS trains properly and fights at distance, I fancy him on points. Lee was getting outboxed but that hook saved him again. If BJS stays out of range, he will win

    Lee is very very clever how he closes the distance.

    HE does this little half step back where he moves his body out of range by a step but keeps his feet nearer.

    Probably haven't explained that very well but neadless to say he manages the distance very well.

    Eubank Jr was catching BJS with his hooks towards the end of their fight and he was hurting him.

    If Lee can make it to the later rounds I fancy he will catch BJS and get the job done.

    However the smart money is on BJS IMO.

    As good as BJS jab is I dont think he will be able to out jab Lee over the distance.

    Good Fight.

    Great fight. Lee has a great ability to draw people on to shots. I think he will stop BJS in the mid rounds.

    With both travelling backgrounds they should hold the fight in a field in Ireland!

    Isn't Andy Lee related to Fury in some way ?

    Agreed. No chance a world heavyweight title fight with a british fighter involved doesn't go on PPV.

    BJS stands no chance, Lee is levels above BJS at this moment in time.

    3 fights i believe but details are a bit sketchy. even if there's 2 fights left they'll do well to get wlad in that timeframe.
