The Official Lee vs Saunders Prediction Thread

Yup

 

Draw. If I had to pick a winner it would be Saunders but I'm officially predicting a draw.

 

Billy Joe Saunders via non-controversial points decision.

 

Not much to say here really, BJS simply has the far faster and more intelligent (??) legs. He frustrates Lee who has a punchers chance for sure but I say probably 90%+ chance for a BJS victory.

I've gone for the decision since Lee will want this badly, have trained like a mule and BJS won't be looking for the KO and taking risks if he goes up a few rounds (as I expect him to).

Can Lee work hard enough to force Billy into the trenches....? Probably at some point(s) over the 12 but I think BJS too talented, well trained, hungry and slick for Lee right now. Soz Andy..... : (

 

I wrote an article on this, claiming Ward, Lomachenko, Rigondeaux, Moreno, Klitschko, Lara, Arroyo, Usyk, Clottey, Abril, Farmer, Hopkins, Vazquez, Rau-shee W., Andrade, and Crawford were better.

 

they both made weight

Lee 159¾lbs and Saunders 160 even.
(5lbs above Caneloweight)

 

Lee will be like 175lb in the ring. Saunders wont put on that much weight.

 

Lee looked very very dry, but Saunders was more fleshy than he looked in training a couple of weeks ago ?

The weights tell there own story, with Saunders being heavier than Lee, and like you say Lee will be massive by the first bell.

Could Saunders make 154 ?

 

Dont know if he could, but its been said hes a small MW. would be a struggle.

 

BJS on points I'm going for but a late stoppage could be on the cards

 

Tough to call. BJS looked in top condition at the weigh -in. But so did Lee.

Good 50/50 competitive match up and intriguing clash of styles. I'll be happy for whoever is best on the night.
