Billy Joe Saunders

Billy Joe Saunders won the WBO Middleweight title with a 12-round majority decision over Andy Lee at The Manchester Arena in Manchester, England

Saunders dropped Lee twice in round three.  The first was from a perfect counter right on the chin.  Lee was hurt and tasted the canvas again from a flurry of punches that was punctuated by a right hand.  Lee was only occasionally able to land his vaunted power shots.  Saunders was never in any danger and the fight  turned into more of a jabbing contest, for which Saunders held his own.

Saunders won by scores of 115-111 and 114-112 and is now 23-0.  Lee of Limerick, Ireland is 34-3-1.
