The Official Lee vs Saunders Prediction Thread

Yup

 

Draw. If I had to pick a winner it would be Saunders but I'm officially predicting a draw.

 

Billy Joe Saunders via non-controversial points decision.

 

Not much to say here really, BJS simply has the far faster and more intelligent (??) legs. He frustrates Lee who has a punchers chance for sure but I say probably 90%+ chance for a BJS victory.

I've gone for the decision since Lee will want this badly, have trained like a mule and BJS won't be looking for the KO and taking risks if he goes up a few rounds (as I expect him to).

Can Lee work hard enough to force Billy into the trenches....? Probably at some point(s) over the 12 but I think BJS too talented, well trained, hungry and slick for Lee right now. Soz Andy..... : (

 

I wrote an article on this, claiming Ward, Lomachenko, Rigondeaux, Moreno, Klitschko, Lara, Arroyo, Usyk, Clottey, Abril, Farmer, Hopkins, Vazquez, Rau-shee W., Andrade, and Crawford were better.

 

they both made weight

Lee 159¾lbs and Saunders 160 even.
(5lbs above Caneloweight)

 

Lee looked very very dry, but Saunders was more fleshy than he looked in training a couple of weeks ago ?

The weights tell there own story, with Saunders being heavier than Lee, and like you say Lee will be massive by the first bell.

Could Saunders make 154 ?

 

BJS on points I'm going for but a late stoppage could be on the cards

 

Tough to call. BJS looked in top condition at the weigh -in. But so did Lee.

Good 50/50 competitive match up and intriguing clash of styles. I'll be happy for whoever is best on the night.
