Notes

  • St-Juste dominated the first three rounds by controlling the tempo and landing big left hands. He appeared on his way to an easy victory.
  • Round 4 followed the same script until Saunders landed a big right hand that stuns St-Juste.
  • Saunders carries the momentum into round 5, and clearly has the upper hand landing a number of straight right hands.
  • St-Juste makes the necessary adjustments and dominates the following two rounds, before sending Saunders down in round 8 with a big left hook to the body. The referee has no choice but to call a halt to the bout as Saunders begins vomitting in the ring.
  • St-Juste's WBC Continental Americas middleweight title not on the line in this fight.
