Comments Thread For: Billy Joe Saunders Makes Statement, Easily Dominates David Lemieux

[Yerlan T.]

That's one of the things I mentioned, too, during the fight.

I've followed Saunders for a long time, but I got pissed off when he said GGG would beat him and Eubank Jr on the same night. I left as a fan after that.

But, now, just wow. I called him the white Floyd Mayweather tonight. Lol..

Hey, he was just honest at that press-conference - GGG was at his prime that time and would've smashed both as BJS had confessed. But now 28 year old BJS's as well as Eubank Jr.'s chances are much higher against soon-to-be 36 year old Golovkin.

Fair enough.
I'd love to see him against Charlo next.

just a guess, could be wrong.....

* Canelo/Golovkin will happen in May

* Saunders will build on his "sure-thing" position after that very good performance, by fighting a made-to-order opponent while he sits in the wings waiting to see who will emerge the winner..... he will be hoping for Canelo because of the money

* Jacobs will have to find/make a different path, none of those guys are going to hand him anything..... unfortunately

Set that in stone!

So it shall be written. So it shall be done.

Damn. I thought Lemieux would win but it's kind of sad that he is Golovkin's 2nd best win.

Damn!!! I'm thinking the same thing???? Sad indeed.

I am a big Saunders fan, and I predicted the result perfectly.....

...... but, Lemieux is an absolute PLODDER !!

horribly over-rated

he is basically..... a fridge

this is the punch he landed on Saunders





those other guys are a whole different level of badass

Saunders is now in the mix

I should of listened to you and ESPECIALLY after I seen this...




I expected Saunders to be fat and lazy again.

He'd fight him .. the fix would be in though.

Judges won't let canelo lose a "boxing" match. Only way someone gets the win against canelo is to stop him or totally beat him up. If it is at all somewhat close, canelo gets the nod

This is likely the truth. the chances of beating Canelo on the cards if your name isn't Mayweather is 0. Canelo wins all rounds on judges score cards unless it was completely dominant, but even then it's not guaranteed.

The fact is BJS doesn't have the power to stop Canelo, his only hope would be to dominate like he did today, which is unlikely because Canelo is not a one dimensional fighter like Lemieux. Canelo can box as well as punch.

I think in conclusion, there's no chance he beats Canelo unless he lands a miracle punch, not because he doesn't have the skill, but just because it's Canelo and he's not a allowed to lose to a "Euro Bum".

[PensionKiller]

I said bjs would win. It's not because he can box but because David is flat footed, telegraphc and slow. He has power but because he sets his punches for full power which anyone can do.

You do that to a punching machine at the fun fair, not in a boxing ring unless someone is hurt.

Bjs is the type of guy who needs big fights. He won't train as hard for people who he doesn't really respect.

[Tatabanya]

I thought Lemieux would win by knockout, and that he was a better and smarter fighter than he revealed himself to be. He's a couple of levels below the elite, now we're all sure about this at least.

[unknown]

Damn, Saunders is much better i thought he was. Respect. Bring him Canelo, GGG or jacobs!

[future hendrixx]

everybody calling lemule a bum and one dimensional but then call bjs a master boxer for beating him.. sht make no sense. now bjs beats canelo and ggg lol. slow ya roll.
