I think this is going to be a ******* of a fight, can only see lee winning by k.o or Saunders via points. Lee said tonight it won't go passed five rounds. Should be some atmosphere over there.
Saunders has a pretty solid chin going from the Eubank fight, he took quite a few flush uppercuts in that one and it didn't phase him one bit. I find it hard to call but I'd favour Billy Joe. I think he'd build a lead and then just stay away from the right hook with a bit of pitter-patter boxing in the second half if the fight. I think it would be a great occasion. Would be wonderful if we could have Spike vs Chris Jr on the undercard.
I expect another come from behind KO from Lee. That right hook of his will eventually land on BJ and I'm pretty sure he can't take it either.
Andy's going to be too big for Billly. Additionally Andy Lee's right hook will be even more effective south paw vs southpaw.
Lee could well chop him down late on once Saunders starts to slow down. If Lee is behind he will be throwing big shots without much concern of what's coming back as well. Eubank had range issues with Saunders(has them in general) whereas Lee has the length to almost remove himself from that range that Saunders boxes well at. Fiddle him about for six rounds then go for the stoppage.
Andy Lee lost his last fight.. drew officially at best.. Usually the basis of a fighter coming off a loss is that he really won etc. At least Saunders has that Sven Ottke type 0.
