    With the half dozen dodgy wins he has he is due an evener.

    If he gets robbed don't cry too much that is boxing, home town bloke gets the benefit of the doubt 99/100

    It wasn't that people have made picks. They just sound awfully confident for... Lemieux vs. Saunders. Just my estimation. On paper this is a worthy fight that shouldn't surprise anybody one way or the other (basically to echo what IB said earlier; Lemieux dogs him and/or one shots him OR Saunders stands up to him, outboxes, non-controversial points win). Or both happen and it levels. I dunno about this one, truly. Leaning Saunders at this moment but that could change in hours.

    Don't like Billy Joe but hes improved drastically in the last 12 months dedication and fitness wise. Too slick for Lemieux, wide UD but no doubt the judges will have it closer

    The bookies agree. I cannot get a decent win by backing either man,

    Canada does a nice job with giving fair decisions.

    Canada treated Kovalev fairly, unlike Vegas who cheated Kovalev...................two times! Lemieux has to power to knock Saunders out, so Saunders can't make a mistake, this one is difficult to predict, Saunders had better be better than he was in his last fight...............

    he had bad stamnina in his last 3 fights. just because after the fight he says "my stamina is good" doesnt mean it changes to his now biggest advantage. Khan said his chin was stronger than ever at 155

    Countries don't screw people promoters do. one of the judges has scored wide in favour of Billy Joe before. (roussel) but when has Lemieux ever got the nod for a fight he hasn't won. He lost a clost fight to alcine early in his career that I'm surprised they gave to alcine. so many thigs to look for the way I expect it is to be 2-2 after 4 saunders win boring rounds then they both gas. I do expect this to go the distance and I do expect lemiuex to get a few rounds he didnt win. This is a hard one to pick but I don't see Lemieux winning the belt without controversy. I'll pick 115-113 Saunders

    One good punch by Lemieux is all it will take..................Saunders can't break an egg, but he did beat Eubank, Jr.

    I don't think BJS will be robbed at all. He will either win decisively or lose by a KO.

    Tell me I'm not the only one who thinks of Billy Joel when I hear about Billy Joe Saunders.
