The WBO middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders is in training at the Ingle gym for his clash against David Lemieux in Canada.

Billy Joe has made an incredible transformation. He has gone from being a fighter who would come into camp majorly overweight but he has changed his ways. Billy Joe is now keeping himself in shape, drastically improving himself as a fighter as he is now not trying to lose weight as part of his training camp. Instead he can focus on getting 100% fit and improving on his boxing.
Adopting a boxing technique instead of a fighting one can dangerous. Evidence of this is when Hughie Fury fought Joseph Parker. Hughie Fury adopted a similar style to that of Tyson Fury and also Billy Joe. Hit and not get hit. It is hard then for judges to give the victory to them as they were not the fighters leading the fight. Billy Joe has to end the fight well and really take it to Lemieux and show that he is a world class fighter.
If Billy Joe can come through the Lemieux fight, then there are some big fights that could be made. The winner of the rematch between Golovkin and Canelo would be a great option with all of the middleweight titles being on the line. Another option could be a rematch with Chris Eubank Jnr after he loses to Groves in the super-middleweight tournament. Eubank will then come back down to middleweight and this will then set up the rematch.

David Lemieux is a great puncher and is a great threat to Billy but I think that Billy's boxing ability will be able to keep Lemieux out of range. The awkwardness of Billy's southpaw style certainly is hard to penetrate. Unbeaten in 25 fights. Does he have what it takes to win?What a difference a bit of motivation and eating properly can do for someone. @bjsaunders_ @dominicingle @MTKGlobal pic.twitter.com/i2vUOMETS4— Boxing Polls (@BoxingPolls111) November 17, 2017
I predict that Billy Joe Saunders will TKO Lemieux in round 9 or 10. Billy Joe has said that leaving the decision to the judges is risky due to them usually favouring the home fighter. He will therefore have to box really well and really assert himself in the fight and be the aggressor.WBO World Middleweight Champion @bjsaunders_ has a message for December 16th opponent @lemieuxboxing 😲— BoxNation (@boxnationtv) November 14, 2017
