Fight Preview
Billy Joe Saunders is a highly acclaimed world champion from Great Britain but is yet to have stepped into the ring in the United States. Well, that is about to change on November 9 when he will fight for the first time ever in the Good Ole USA against Marcelo Esteban Coceres.
Matchroom Boxing Promoter Eddie Hearn was excited to put this bout together. Additionally, Hearn has a vision of much bigger plans for Saunders.
"I can't wait to see Billy Joe shine stateside, and what a huge platform to do it," said Hearn, who recently put together a contract with Saunders. "He is right in the mix for all the big fights in 2020 but he can't slip up here. And if he can make a statement against Coceres, then I truly believe he will land a monster in the first half of next year."
For his part Saunders is eager to make his USA debut and make a strong first impression with American fans.
"I'm really looking forward to fighting in L.A. and making my professional American debut and my first fight under the Matchroom umbrella," Saunders said. "Marcelo Esteban Coceres is a tough, world-class operator, an unbeaten fighter and I certainly feel the pressure to outperform him and look good on such a massive platform. Training is going very well; I just have to stay focused and get the job done."
Of great concern for the underdog Coceres and bargain hunters considering the big price is his weak resume. He has not scored a win against anyone with any hint of credibility and has one of the most atrocious undefeated track records in boxing.
Then again Saunders has not done much either as of late. His last real fight was four years ago when he defeated Andy Lee. While promoters dream of a Saunders bout against Gennady Golovkin or Saul Canelo Alvarez the fact remains that Saunders has some serious work to do as far as building up a resume worthy of such a fight. On the positive Saunders has a huge fan base that will travel and that is what promoters will keep an eye on as far as any future bouts against bigger name opponents.
Boxing Betting Tips
Without question this is Saunders fight to lose. This matchup against Coceres has even been ridiculed in some circles as borderline shameless on the part of both the defending champ and his promoters. In essence it is a glorified sparring match with the massive price tag that comes with such a mismatch. Yet taking a flyer on Coceres is likely burning cash.
