He said himself that he's in an easy fight. He has a title shot next. No one in boxing would take a hard fight in that position. You just want something to b*tch about.
Another good fight at MW. In the next few months, we have GGG-Murray Lee-Quillin Ndam-Lemieux. Thats 3 fights between (arguably) top 10 fighters. How often do we see that many top fights in a division in quick succession?
What am I *****ing about LOL. I said I don't blame the guy right? I'm pretty sure he would have got that IBF title shot if he went for N'dam, but hey why risk getting exposed for less money. The only guy he stands a chance outta of the 3 is Lee, but we all know if Lee doesn't get lucky he'll lose, and Saunders does not have the power to get Quillin out of there so it'll be an easy picking for Quillin.
But you don't know what was in the contract. Why would they pay him that step aside money and put him on the undercard in the U.S. and then not cover their own ass in the contract? As long as we are speculating, I would guess that Saunders couldn't take that IBF fight without breaching the contract he already signed.
I was implying if he didnt take the step aside money, and the winner of Quillin/Lee he could have gotten a shot at the IBF. If he actually beat N'dam which is a very low chance, he would easily be in line to fight the winner of Quillin/Lee next, and possibly get 2 world titles. He took the easy way to cash out by taking the step aside money, and a title shot against someone he has 0 chance against. At least against N'dam there was a possibility, but going from fighting Eubank Jr a D- level fighter, to a B level guy is just ridiculous. But like I said which you don't seem to understand is that I get why he chose his route, it's the best way to cash out before being exposed.
N'Dam all wrong for Lemieux. David will be tasting the jab/straight all night with Hassan staying well out of range of those little T-Rex arms. I'd pick N'Dam to beat Quillin in a rematch also
Um, you can't edit polls in vBulletin. (not even mods) You'll have to make a separate thread with a new poll (with an end date), and I can then merge that one into this one. :!: "No date - best to wait!"
NTM....the STEP-ASIDE $$$$$ the GAYMAN paid him was higher than any purse he'd fought for. How the heck is that a duck. Im not big on Saunders, but I'd tip him to stop Quillin, provided Quillin don't get starched by a Lee R hook.
As for NDam vs Lemiuex. Easy pickins. Lemiuex is fast and furious. He's got a L hook equaled only by Golovkins overall better technique. Lemiuex is faster than GGG, probably hits harder with a singular shot, and lacks only the durability/stamina of GGG or he'd be the best in the division ATM. NDam has heart, and can box well off the back foot, but he's open to the L hook, and Lemiuexs is coming all night, and with the speed paralleled by NOBODY else in the division. Lemiuex KO4.deal
