in a fair world in billy last 3 fights combined he's lost about 18 rounds. he's actually not as good as a few people are saying.
Both his biggest wins (Eubank Jr. and Lee) were drawish fights. Hell, his fight against Akavov was drawish, as well (mostly because Saunders showed up in shameful condition). Even the Monroe fight was relatively close. Saunders is prone to close fights because he fades like crazy in the second half after usually winning the early rounds. The reason why I don't have all that much faith in Lemieux is that he isn't exactly a terror in the later rounds, either.
BJS is just such a dick. It's made it too hard to root for him.Tbh I think BJS will scrape through in a decision. He'll probably show up to the fight mentally/physically on level with the Andy Lee bout and manage to outbox Lemieux despite a few scares along the way.
I'm probably one of the only ones hoping BJS wins too, but it's mainly because I want GGG to come to the UK again.
HBOIs this fight on any tv channel here in the states?

Hope Lemieux KOs him. Excited to see this one.
Lemieux looks gaunt. Don't know if he always looks like shit at weigh ins or not.
Depends on what a lead he can build early on.He drains himself a lot to make the weight. It likely contributes to him having mediocre to shitty stamina (which will prevent him from winning this fight in my mind).
Lemieux to me looks way bigger, also he weighed in behind a towel and I fully think he didnt stand on the scale properly. gaining extra weight may come back to haunt him but both fade so badly. People swear on saunders conditioning being great (because saunders said so) Im not sure how great his stamina can be in a training camp I think you your stamina can get better but it's never a strength so people who dont train ever naturally have great stamina and some who train a lot naturally just will never have great stamina.Depends on what a lead he can build early on.
I would prefer Lemieux win. I don't think a lot of him as a fighter but he seems to be a better caliber of person than Saunders.Lemieux to me looks way bigger, also he weighed in behind a towel and I fully think he didnt stand on the scale properly. gaining extra weight may come back to haunt him but both fade so badly.

I have a feeling you want both to lose seano these two dont seem your cup of tea?
