    Doesn't have a high enough output or punch hard enough. With GGG you have to fight back. Brook tried and was ready to trade. GGG would easily walk Saunders down and unload and stop Saunders

    I thought it was a draw, rewatching it.

    Brook is quicker and hits harder and more often. BJS has gas tank issues and would be picked off early by GGG.

    114-112 and the 113-113 cards beg to differ. The knockdowns got him that belt. Chavez Jr had a better performance vs Lee.

    Bjs is probably the craftiest fighter at 160, aside Ggg, but there isn't anything great about him that stands out. He'll get flogged by Ggg. His only chance is beating Ggg on the inside and lasting the distance in hopes he'll get a hometown gift decision.

    Winning 8 to 4 and scoring 2 KD's isn't barely beating Lee, British judges are idiots, that match wasn't close. And you know I like Lee, so I'm not just hating on him.

    IDK man... I had it a lot closer to the what the judges had it than you did, 8-4 is only possible if you give all of the even rounds to Saunders. Knockdowns aside it was a very competitive fight.... I know you had a lot emotionally invested into this fight after going out of your way to back Saunders, but it really was a lot closer than you're making it out to be. I don't think you hate Lee, but having a lot of emotion invested in it have could have potentially skewed your judgement. Have you rewatched it since?

    Yeah twice and I still scored it 8-4 both times for Billy Joe. There were a lot of close rounds but its hard to find many than Andy outworked Saunders in.
