Re: How good is Billy Joe Saunders ?
He has very quick hands and switches very well between head and body and can drop opponents with either and is a very good finisher when he has his opponent in triouble, not a one punch KO artist as he tends to overwhelm his opponents with good combinations but he has been really unlucky with the injuries he has had, but I expect he will be knocking on the door for a British/Commonwealth title challenge within the next 12-18 months.

Early days but he looks very promising.
Re: How good is Billy Joe Saunders ?
in his last fight against Hammond he looked sensational, definitely the highlight of that bill for me.

Re: How good is Billy Joe Saunders ?
In my opinion he will go the furthest out of "The Olympians" Needs to leave Frank Waren though! hasn't even got an opponent for saturday yet, probly some journeyman. Billy Joe needs testing, he is ready for a big step up in class!

It will come mate, Billy has stated he will be fighting his career at Middleweight not SMW.mercman wrote:Agreed. He could stand losing a few pounds though. Lots of potential but he would be even more effective if he could drop down a weight class - which I think he could without too much hardship.
Re: How good is Billy Joe Saunders ?
He is fighting on 28th against Gary Boulden for Cental Area title so it is a step in right direction, not sure why he is on twice in two weeks thoughBoxingAnalyst wrote:In my opinion he will go the furthest out of "The Olympians" Needs to leave Frank Waren though! hasn't even got an opponent for saturday yet, probly some journeyman.

Re: How good is Billy Joe Saunders ?
He is a very good tallent. I think he is fighting too heavy though and would like to see him as a middle as his size would suit a lot more.
Still very young and loads to learn, but hope they start to step him up each fight now and we see more of him.

Re: How good is Billy Joe Saunders ?
i liked the look of him also ...looks very talented being moved slwoly but he is young.
time will tell i guess but for talent i think he has the most out of the olympians imo.
