*** Billy-Joe Saunders vs Matthew Hall RbR ***

It's a good word, it's not used enough, we should have a campaign to revive it on ESB

 

My issue with Matty Hall has been the fact he come across wanting to be a mini Tyson but like so many before him fight for the KO's. Tyson's jab, head movement and dynamic combinations were what helped him as well as power.

Hall i've found plods in to much without much idea or explosiveness. Hate it when i see pressure fighters don't work when they get close. Tonight has to move the head, close the range and get inside and work. I think BJS isn't as fit as he should be and have felt that for a while. I believe he tires around 6 rounds in and flags so Hall's got to press the fight and be explosive when he gets into short range.

Billy Joe needs to keep fight centre ring, Keep Hall Turning. Utilize uppercut and body shots and break him down for a late stoppage.

 

Hall looks in better shape than last time

 

Nasty

 

Preach Barry, preach

BJS performance vs Blackwell was good, no idea why people hold that fight against him

 

Been on the weights by the look of it, last time out he looked a bit pudgy.

 

Hall having issues with movement and moving feet into range and punching at same time. A problem he's had for years.

BJS pivoting well, using a nice variation of punches and throwing a lot of leather.

10-9 BJS.

 

certainly wasnt as bad as people make out

 

BJS looking really quick 2night

Billy Joe Saunders>>>>>>>>>>Sal Sanchez


Yeah I said it

 

both guys swinging, Billy Joe coming out the classier

 

BJS is wasting a lot of energy here. He's winning the rounds easily but the odd punch Hall lands is doing damage and it'll be interesting to see what happens if the fight goes at the same pace for 8 rounds or so. Hall might be able to force a stoppage, if BJS is weak at the weight.

If Billy Joe improves his accuracy a bit, I think he'll stop Hall though.

 

BJS landing hurtful punches but Hall also getting some leather on Billy Joe. Hall moving head a lot but needs to use the jab. It's a key punch against a Southpaw but also gets him close. Use the up jab and step across to left to cut ring off.

Billy Joe in control but at times being clipped and trapped on ropes.

20-18 BJS. Entertaining fight..
