    According to Saunders he's convinced he'll beat Lemieux clearly enough for there to be a robbery if it goes to the cards in Lemmy's backyard, with GBP behind him.
    Of course only mentioning it does mean it has crossed his mind, and he never actually beat someone at world level wide enough -for golden Boy standards- not to worry about it.
    We can also be sure he will be the one backpeddeling all night, which always stings on the cards for a visiting fighter.

    If he's in shape, he'll win clearly enough.

    If he looks like in his last two fights, yeah, he won't have to worry about the judges because Lemmy will KHTFO.

    It's not just that he's travelling to Canada to face a canadian. he's travelling to face someone from GBP and they basically have Canelo vs Lemieux already lined up for May. With both guys working for GBP oscar gets paid a lot more. Lemieux fan base is much larger than BJS which might not be noticed because both arent American, but David Lemieux is one of the most popular athletes to french Canadians.

    In a fair world with fair scoring I think this fight is razor close and maybe BJS pulling it off. a come forward hometown fighter who is known to be a harder puncher vs a guy who edges out rounds slightly, I'd say he needs to win 9 rounds to be sure he walks away with his title.

    GBP, Oscar, Canelo 118 Golovkin 110

    If Saunders doesn't stop Lemieux then I hope he got maximum dollar for that belt.

    Saunders doesnt back peddle, you should watch a fighter before making these kind of uneducated statements.

    I've seen most of his fights, but that isn't even the point here. If he doesn't, then he won't make it to the final bell against Lemieux, I thought that much is clear from the start.

    Great mentality to have. Can't stand stay at home fighters who use those kind of excuses.

    Saunders is underestimating Lemeiux

    Even at his best I think he would win just by 7-5. If he fights like like he did in his last 2 fights Lemeiux wins for sure

    He needs to be at his very best AND hope the judges are fair

    he has a new camp and is in "better shape than ever" just like Amir Khans Chin was stronger than ever at 155 vs Canelo.

    Well BJS Stamina issues can improve not from not very good to "great!" "amazing" "his biggest strength"
    lucky for him david Lemieux has gas tank issues and yes his did improve. a lot of that has to do with pacing neithers strength will ever be Stamina. I can see Lemieux breaking or claiming he broke his hand in this one.

    I think BJS wins this fight in the uk and Lemieux wins it in canada being the same fight the hometown judges will always favour the hometown fighter in a fight that will be close and not as good as people hope. I could see BJS looking poor early on when he gets bumm rushed.

    Look at the mixture of sweat and blood flying off Reyes' head and face after shipping that huge uppercut. Glorious. Well done cameraman
