Well Well;;;The world champ not to win a round against an unproven up and coming boxer,atschatschatsch Talk is talk and Andy will be doing the talking in the ring and when he sorts out the Brit a unification fight and a big money fight against GGG.
Be careful what you wish for Dutchie. Imagine if Andy did beat billy Joe....and got fed to Golovkin ....:admin. :!: :dead Andy doesn't have the workrate to win rounds against Billy Joe. Billy will shoeshine him, win all the rounds and cruise to a WIDE points victory. Billy Joe is a very very classy boxer. I'm surprised more people on here don't appreciate his slick skills. :thumbsup
I from south Central L.A. ( home of the body bag) and believe me dude, anybody from my neighborhood knows the impact that Irish fighters have had and do have on boxing. Name an era without a great Irish or Irish-American fighter ... There isn't one ! Plus a lot of times in America they don't even tel lyou that the guy is Irish...
:deal ...and furthermore they were unbeaten prior to facing Billy Joe. He has probably the best run of performances at 160 recently, aside from GGG obviously. In shape, well prepared, BJS is very good. His achilles heel might be discipline. Apparently right now he has let himself go very badly. That's Andys only chance. Andy has 3 advantages 1. size, 2. punch and 3. discipline. Surprisingly my poll in the British Forum is 75% in Andys favour. I find that surprising to be honest.
It's to be expected really. Lee has been a world level fighter fighting would level opponents for years. Saunders is just beginning. Mind you most of the Brit forum thought eubank would knock Saunders out easily. So what so they know. And it's true that Saunders does look fat inbetween fights. His face puffs up a lot.
