    This saturday for the WBO belt which Lee holds of course. First all-traveller world title fight. Anyone interested? I've got Lee between rounds 7-9. Saunders is ok but nothing special. I know Lee ain't great but I think he'll outsmart Saunders. It's Saunders first world title fight so the occasion could get to him, or it may not, but I see Lee timing him with something big after Saunders overcommits and exposes his chin. Lee's long arms and reach an advantage in this matchup for me.

    Winner could get GGG at some point during 2016.

    Andy Lee for sure.

    Probably via UD.

    I don't think the winner is planned to fight Golov.

    Showtime is hoping Lee wins, because they wanna make Jacobs vs Lee.

    I think GGG's promoter has recently said he'd like Golovkin out three times in 2016, so a potential unification showdown with Lee is a possibility, if Lee gets past Saunders. Don't think Saunders will go near GGG if he claims the belt.

    Lee has said he doesn't fear Golovkin and has one eye on him. He said he's got the size, punching power and ring craft to mount a serious challenge.

    Wouldn't Lee make more money fighting GGG than Jacobs, though? Would have thought more people would tune in to see GGG-Lee instead of Lee-Jacobs, too.

    Lee/ Jacobs would be a good fight. Knock down fest.

    Lee could easily get outworked here if Saunders doesn't do anything stupid, which of course is not likely.

    Only saw Saunders once, when he barely beat Eubank jr (I know i'm in the minority here, but I think it was a real close fight) and i wasn't impressed. Lee should win this.

    Saunders will outwork Lee, Saunders is cautious enough and his beard is good enough to avoid giving Lee his only means of success

    I think Jacobs would stop Lee inside of 6.

    Lee has reach, power, jab. Suspenseful fight imo.

    I'm not saying it wouldn't be suspenseful. But I'd favor Jacobs.

    No guarantee that Lee's even gonna win tomorrow.

    He retired. Cut-prone, no power, no defense, bad combo.

    Yeah, he was pretty shitty. A lot of heart, but zero talent. He was basically exposed when he went life and death with an ANCIENT Yory Boy Campas. That was a helluva fight though.

    I hadn't seen Saunders fight until this week. Watch some of him on Youtube. He's average as Hell. I agree that Lee SHOULD win this fight by stoppage.

    he's well behind but he's game and has also found Smith's body a fair bit too.

    Something odd going on with the betting here............lot of money on Saunders. Maybe Lee is getting ready to go into the tank.
