    Could be happening, no way Monroe gets the W with Franks bought judges

    Willie needs a KO

    Willie can't get the KO, sadly. I honestly rate Willie pretty well. He has speed, technique, good all round work. His problem is he is A) featherfisted, and B) he really has troubles tying them all together consistently. When he works, he works. Then othertimes he just struggles to put it together.

    It all depends on what BJS shows up. If he shows up in shape and motivated he schools Monroe, but BJS is so inconsistent that I won't count Willie out.

    Would definetly be a most boring fight of the year canditate. That said, It'd be interesting to see Saunders as the agressor. If he shows up in shape, he beats Monroe.

    Willie gets KO'd, he's not on Saunders level. Saunders would be the aggressor in this match like he was against Stuart Hall.

    Didn't know Saunders fought a midget?

    Saunders doesn't need to be aggressive he just needs to stay upright which makes me think it will be Willie pressing the action.

    Willie needs to stop BJS or win so dominantly they can't rob him, if he fights like his usual self he has no chance.

    :lol: Whoops I got my Brit Hall's mixed up, I meant Matthew. But he's a midget too.

    Willie has zero chance against BJS regardless, stop acting like he'll need a gift, Willie isn't CEJ or Akavov, he's a retreating defensively minded counter puncher, it'll be like BJS vs. Andy Lee, only with BJS being more aggressive.

    Saunders wins any style of fight at any distance. They both tend to coast and conserve energy but Sanders is just stronger and will not play from behind in any department worth mentioning. He also has a better team around him. Willie Monroe has the cast of Breaking Bad in his corner FFS!

    BJS bad habits of fighting levels below his actual ability could come back to haunt him here. Close Saunders UD is what I'd go with though.

    This fight will be super boring but I don't think it's a gimmie fight for Saunders at all.

    I feel like Willie would be the aggressor in this one. If BJS is having an off day then Monroe has a chance to take this. He's going to be the more hungry fighter in there.

    Agreed. If the BJS who fought Akavov shows up on the night, Willie works him over and takes the UD.

    Billy Joe Saunders' problem is that he's been far too inactive of late. We're reaching the stage whereby Saunders is making Jess Willard look busy by comparison.

    At this stage and current mentality I worry that BJS is gonna lose before he gets the pay day...Every fights a risk now, his hearts not in it !
