The champion gave a stunning energetic performance that fascinated everybody watching the fight. The fight was scored a win for Saunders by all three judges with 120-108, 117-111 and 118-110 crowning Saunders as the world champion in his hometown at the Lamex stadium in Stevenage. 

During the first half of the match, Saunders literally controlled the fight and Isufi was struggling in vain to catch his breath and counter-attack the opponent. The first danger for Sunders’ title came in during the midway mark of the fight when he sustained a strong left hook. Isufi failed to take advantage of this great opportunity to turn things around and Saunders managed to get the initiative firmly in his grasp.

This is a great success for Sounders after his devastating 2018 when he gave up his title and was instructed to pay $100,000 in fines. Now he ranks with top world fighters being a two-weight champion, in both middleweight and super-middleweight.

The fight, which was scheduled to take place at the O2 arena in London, has been canceled for the second time. It was first moved from March to June after Saunders had suffered a hand injury while he was training.

Murray believes that Saunders has intentionally canceled the bout in order to earn a match against Gennady Golovkin. Golovkin’s re-match against Canelo Alvarez is being delayed due to payment disagreements and in the end, Canelo may end up choosing another opponent which could be Saunders. Golovkin is under pressure to find mandatory challengers for his two middleweight belts if the Alvarez match falls through.

If Murray ends up fighting Golovkin, the fight will likely take place at a big venue, possibly the London Stadium.

Alvarez will also need a credible opponent for his Mexico Independence Day fight in Las Vegas on September 15.
