hes just said he wanted to get 12 rounds under his belt, now can you stop moaning about been cautious, 10 minutes after seeing a masterclass in how to box. he talks a good game, and you can tell he knows boxing inside out. got a good feeling about this guy. BJS vs Macklin in 2013 would be a good fight.
It was a shut out, he boxed beautifully from the opening bell untill the last, didn't really have pryce in any danger but he marked his eye up nicely which gave him the oppurtunity to land his jab at will, and he did over and over again, lovely jab,if pryce tried to turn up the pressure saunders would just punch his way out with ease flank to the left and start flicking his jab into the swollen eye of pryce, really good footwork tonight aswell and was very ****ing elusive throughout all 12.
Don't be a **** - am I not allowed my own opinion? I couldn't give two shits if that was the plan. If an A-class fighter is facing a C-class fighter whose best weight was two divisions down, he should not be getting rounds in. He should be knocking him ****ing senseless. I thought it was a good performance, I said it again and again. But it was not the exceptional performance it should have been. Don't make such a stupid comment when I'm making a pretty fair criticism amidst effusive praise.
Saunders jab was poetry in motion, held back on the left as he said, but to systematically dismantle a former champ shows Saunders aint all about blazing guns theres much more depth there.
My reading comprehension goes down the shitter after about 10 pm so I apologize haha, you have to admit though BJS is certainly a talent,Like the fact he's thinking every second of every round , he rarely makes mistakes and his skillset is quality, love his punch variation especially when it's off the jab, and for 22 years of age ... he is a bit special .
Undoubtedly, but he'd achieved that by round 7. Don't engage in a sparring session when people are paying to see you.
That's fine, I'm not one to really engage in handbags with fellow posters hence my non verbal reply of sorts. But like I said the kid has talent no doubt, but my interpretation of 'special' is p4p calibre and I don't think he'll be up there to be honest. But we will get a better indication hopefully in his next few fights of how far he can truly go which I think personally think is for world honours.
bored with his progress. should be at least getting in the mix for british titles. is it vacant or has murray still got it?
Missed the BJS fight last night, saw the Buglioni fight, I stick by what a said a few months back, he really isn't up to much. He needs to get back in the gym ASAP and get to work on the basic fundamentals he is clearly lacking, he's obviously 'still a baby' as Buncey would say, and working with Tibbs and sparring Saunders, he should really be showing minor improvements.
I cant knock BJS there but i do get your point about 3 times after rd 8 i was saying "Go on finish him!* But he showed dicipline and ring savvy but maybe a little too much respect to Pryce.
