    I'll be most likely betting on BJS by points as long as the odds are out of line as I would expect them to be, Lee's odds will be shorter then they should be with back to back KOs and I expect people to lump on him come fight time as a result and cause of BJS split decision to CEJ. You can see that concensus in this thread already.

    I think people also forget Lee was in trouble in his last two-three fights now.

    I bet with success over the long term with boxing so that's my view anyway.

    BJS speed and jab should cause lee lots of problems imo, BJS will undoubtedly tire though I would expect in the second half of the fight and will need to be at his best not to get caught silly.

    If the odds are good enough I'll be on BJS either by outright winner or on points.

    Very close fight should it ever happen. I expect lee to allow bjs Afew of the early rounds. But his experience may play a huge part come the 2nd half of the fight

    It depends what Andy Lee shows up. He has the punchers chance. If a determined Andy Lee shows up he'll win by knockout.

    I'm not sure but i don't think Billy Joe has fought someone as tall as Andy Lee and who hits as hard as him.

    BJS was easily beating Eubank Jr for 5 rounds but then let Eubank Jr get back into the fight without much effort. Saunders stamina seems to be a big issue for him.

    I reckon Andy Lee knocks him out in 7 rounds or over.

    Lee is huge for mw but doesnt really use it very well. But lee has fought in a better level ie world level and hits hard, id go for lee by stoppage but maybe bjs will up his game

    CEJ is a lot bigger and heavier than Andy Lee. Andy is TALL and long, but very slim build.

    Plus we need to see where to rank BJS win over CEJ.
    If CEJ goes on to achievr big things in bixing then we wil have to reappraise the small credit we are giving Joe Saunders for beating him.

    Yeah lee is rather a strange build,lankey and looks like he needs a good meal or may break in half. He is rangey but doesnt really use his height advantages he has over most middles

    eubanks boy is a lot better than this thread makes him out...time will show that......bjs has a better boxing brain than given credit for too...he'll be very prepared to defend against lees big right hand...saunders on points in a stick and move affair for me......outside of that big right, lee hasnt got that much else at world level to write home and tell mama about.

    Eubank looked wild and completely unskilled to me. He stole a few rounds due to his size, but any good boxer will make him look silly.

    If anything I'd say he is a lot worse than some are making him out to be.

    So do people think Boxnation are certs to show BJS vs Lee ? And has Lee signed up with ****** /Boxnation for his next fights or is he a free agent.

    just thinking what is stopping Matchroom Signing up Lee doing a big show in Ireland. Eubank VS Ryder undercard.

    Dont think BJS would be allowed to fight on a Hearn show but if it goes highest bidder who knows

    Although anything is possible I'd say that Boxnation would be the broadcaster as Frank is already talking about the fight. I doubt Frank would like the fight to take place in Dublin however unless he could get Fury on the undercard. Makes more sense for the fight to be in London or Manchester.

    No, BJS is from a Romany family.
