BJS VS ANDRADE In September?

I think Andrade beats him in a close fight.

 

Yeahhhh I don't have confidence in either one of these guys actually making it to the ring.

 

I'd pick Sounders by decision
Way more experience & Andrade still new to 160

 

Based on?

Nationality?
Skin colour?


Certainly not resume or level of performance.

 

Really REALLY like BJS and think he's def elite at MW, and hate admitting this but really like a ton of UK fighters at the moment over US fighters( I know its petty) but have to roll with my boy Andrade here. Just think Andrade is worst possible matchup for Saunders. Credit to both guys if this happens.

 

Either Andrade close buy clear UD or BJS. by T/KO.

 

I believe you are either selling Andrade short or you are overrating BJS. Andrade can box pretty well, he just happens to be a little bit stiff stylistically. BJS had close fights with lesser fighters than Andrade. I predict a close win for BJS because he is a little more fluid despite being evenly matched with Andrade in the skill department.

 

Actually, you can use the Monroe fight as a basis. When Monroe decided to actually box with Saunders and not freeze up he was having quite a bit of success. Although he lost clearly he had moments. Andrade appears to be better than Monroe AND likely won't have the same issues he had. It isn't too absurd to think that Andrade can win this.

As far as the matchup itself (assuming it happens), I can't imagine it being very good. I expect a cagey bout. I think a big factor here is how Andrade will deal with the jab of Saunders and if he can match or neutralize Saunders' dirty boxing if he decides to use it. It has been a while since I have really seen Andrade but I THINK he had some grime in him, but if I'm wrong that is a huge advantage for Saunders especially if they fight in the UK like I assume they will.

 

Bold prediction: I think Saunders drops the belt.

If/when it happens, I think I'll be picking a razor close outcome; controversial Andrade decision maybe?

 

Andrade beats BJS if he dont decide to jump to 168lbs instead & fight DeGale in a "Domestic" fight.

 

You think the Saunders that beat Monroe is relevant?

 

If the rumours are true that Andrade is signing with Eddie Hearn, I can't see Saunders vs Andrade happening

 

Oh I don't know; Andrade has beaten Martirosyan and Culcay, Saunders has beaten Eubank, Lemiux and O'Sullivan. IS that a huge gap?
