    Willie about to get robbed in the UK
    I seen it

    I hope Willie knows what he's getting into as he's about to suffer his third L. Will he get more than 150k?

    Willie Monroe is NOT going to KO burger boy BJS. He can easily out point him but good luck getting the decision in the age of the robbery.

    I can EASILY see Willie Monroe winning this fight, but getting robbed.

    Thoughts.

    I concur. It's probably going to be a very negative fight and Saunders tendency to fight to his opponents level might hurt him against a pure boxer like Monroe Jr. It's going to be close, but hometown advantage strongly favors Saunders. BJS UD either close but clear or controversial if he underestimates Monroe Jr.

    Especially not with those wet noodle fists and a measly stoppage rate of 20% . Billy Boy is safe in that department .

    Either way I just want to see Bill in the ring and Monroe Jr is a good test

    I expect the fight to be extremely close, but Bill getting the nod.

    Billy seems to get bigger and bigger every time he balloons up, that can't be good for him and I think he has regressed a great deal tbh. Should still be too talented for Monroe but I think Monroe is getting him at the perfect time.

    Good fight but Monroe needs to be aggressive and take risks if he really wants to get the decision in UK.

    I agree that this is a good fight. I'm hyped on this and I'm glad that Willie is finally getting a good fight again. As for getting the decision in the UK. Oh man, it's been such a bad year with robberies that I just cannot fathom Willie getting the title in London. Even if he boxes his ears off. It's just been one of those years.

    Wow. I really think BJS will lose this. He looked terrible in his last fight and doesn't look like he is kept himself in good condition at all. He will regret avoiding Danny Jacobs and Lemieux as they would have given him a better pay day and fight than Monroe.

    Not happening... Anyone who's remotely world class will always take Saunders close, you'd have to go all the way back to 2013 when he schooled Spike for the last time he won a wide decision. Spike's a basic domestic level brawler who has nothing once you take his power away. Even Ryder gave Saunders a tough fight... Not denying Saunders ability, but as myself and others have pointed out many times on here he has a very bad habit of fighting to his opponents level. Not a good thing when you're fighting world class operators who are coming to win, he's overdo on it backfiring.

    Good fight.

    I expect BJS to win on points in a good fight, Monroe needs to force the fight as I think he's the more physically stronger.

    It's an interesting fight.
