    Billy Joe doesn't appear to have fought anyone with a similar size / height advantage that Lee holds.

    And as far as Southpaws goes, the only one I can recall Billy Joe facing was John Ryder.

    Oddly enough I can see Billy Joe getting inside Andy Lee and landing a short one the chin, he's fast starter, Lee is a slow starter. Saunder's Rounds 1-6 14/1 Ladbrokes for a speculative bet.

    What a price 11/4 Enzo by KO last week btw.

    As daft as it sounds, whats the possibility of Saunders scoring the TKO ?

    Lee has been stiffened in almost every fight, and sometimes by cuffing shots. Saunders isn't heavy handed, but his punches are certainly sharp and fast, could he catch Lee cold ?

    Does anybody happen to know the approximate ring walk times for the main event?

    Can't believe BJS is favourite for this fight. Andy Lee has fought a much higher calibre of fighters.

    No doubting BJS has the skills and he can win, but the fact he gasses in the second half of fights, in against a fighter who has genuine one punch KO power and is a natural middleweight.

    Value is on Lee imo.

    I'm going for Saunders but it will be close.

    Exactly my friend, I remember him being wobbled badly by Ferenc Hafner of all people, Billy Joe could throw a four/five punch combo followed by a british stoppage.
    14/1 rounds 1-6 or 33/1 rounds 1-3, at those prices im happy to throw a few quid at it.

    After Beijing 2008 I said Billy Joe would be the best pro of that class. He is the only one still undefeated anyway, still young for a pro. Has bags of talent, an excellent boxer, not heavy handed but can score accurate punches. I said from day one he would become a world champion and I am sticking to that. BJS wins a unanimous decision over Lee. Andy is big, strong, has heart and a punchers chance against anyone. Should be a really good fight. Saunders lifestyle between fights has slowed his progress and could play a factor tonight but I am still sticking by him.

    BJS decision

    Good shout, BJS is an excellent boxer, calm collected and fast hands and feet. Boxer will usually beat the puncher, Lee can only use his get out of jail card so many times. Won some cash back from the Klit fiasco :happy

    Btw how one judge gave it a draw is beyond me :patsch
