Comments Thread For: Billy Joe Saunders Drops, Decisions Andy Lee To Win WBO Belt

[Cuban Linx]

Good win Billy Joe.

I bet Daniel Jacobs and his team are like "Damn You Andy Lee Damn You"

You can probably say the same thing for GGG. This throws off the plans for a unification fight for both guys. There's no way Billy Joe is fighting Daniel Jacobs or GGG next it will be interesting to see what guys they get next.

Everyone leading up the to fight was counting BJ Saunders out. Lou DiBella was talking about how he wants to set up Jacobs vs. Lee on St. Patricks day at Barclay's.

Everyone overlooked the fact that Saunders is a very classy operator who has never been knocked down or beaten as a Pro. Who also has an amateur pedigree.

114-112 was the right score

113-113

Golovkin can flush his unification plan.

Predicting BJS vs Macklin, Eubank Jr 2, Geale, Blackwell, Ryder.

LOL both of these guys were so frustrating to watch. Saunders has youth and good reflexes, yet only fights a few rounds. Lee has multiple opportunities and was too busy posing.

Lee is shot and Saunders has no bite. Saunders better not fight anyone threatening. LOL

How many world champions does the UK have?

12 now I think

Damn kind of knew Saunders could outbox Lee but was hoping Lee would take it. No way Saunders wants GGG and the comment about the WBC 155 belt is spot on. Sucks.

hope ggg doesnt duck him

well played sir, well played

That was 1 seriously boring fight after 6 rounds I started to doze off and didn't even try to stop it from happening,, so at least I'm rested for the HBO cards.

Showtime/Jacobs/Quillen/Lee all took L's - all for different reasons now I see why HBO didn't pick the fight up BJS isn't going to the US anytime soon and ST just wasted everyone's time thinking Jacobs would be able to unify and not have to fight GGG.

Well I got that one wrong. Thought Lee would engage more but if you go down twice then you get gun shy for sure. Props to BJS - now grow some balls and challenge yourself - at least against Jacobs if not Golovkin.

Golovkin needs to forget about unifying - it's a noble aim to try to unify at a certain weight class but boxing politics is really set against it so just go about making the most money you can and take the biggest fights from a sporting and financial point of view.

Do the Johnson mandatory, hopefully fight against Canelo for big money - and then assuming you win that then look to go up, down, sideways - wherever the biggest combination of challenge/money lies.

Dammit Lee. There goes any chance of an undisputed champion.

Now our only hope is Stevenson vs Kovalev

Nice job by Saunders, he showed good timing and foot work early on. Those KD's surprised me though.

I thought the judges got it right.
