    Not a bad bout

    BJS is a very good boxer

    Can be argued #2 160

    This is the problem now, all these guys waiting for the big 2 instead of fighting each other.

    I don't think BJS v.1.0-3.0 can cope w/ Danny's BBC.

    Yes, boring UD is the order of the day.

    Still, I wouldn't be surprised if it's closer than it should be. It would be just like Billy Joe to come in ill-prepared and barely scrape by an opponent he should school.

    That's BJS you're thinking of, BJS 2.0 however always brings it, and for the full 12 too!

    p.s. Munroe fight was the exception that proves the rule! ;)

    Marty is being recycled again? When will we ever see the back of the guy in title fights? He's a worthy enough pro, but he's painfully dull to watch.

    A temporary backwards step is understandable for Saunders, but at least pair him with someone who could make it resemble fun. I'd take Spike II over this.

    Big step up for Saunders. Murray was lineal MW champ for a while, and he went 11 with GGG.

    I remember when I thought Murray was on of the worlds top middleweights, seems like a lifetime ago.

    Last chance saloon for Murray but I think this fight is about 3/4 years too late to be any kind of interesting.
