    Didn't expect this. Eubank hasn't even fought a 12 rounder yet and BJS and been winning at a much higher level. I fully expect him to beat BJS down the line after some improvements so maybe Jr has been operating in second gear all along.

    It would be massively impressive if Eubank went from fighting journeymen straight to beating Saunders.

    :think

    Thought Saunders was negotiating with Korobov?

    If not, short of being robbed, Saunders takes this comfortably.

    The WBO allowed Demetrius Andrade to move up at fight Korobov for the title.
    The WBO basically said that despite BJS being #2 in their rankings, he had not beaten anyone good enough to get him ranked that high in their own organization.:patsch

    BJS said he would retire if he didn't stop Eubank inside 4 rounds.

    I would expect BJS to win but he isn't a puncher and i doubt he can live up to that prediction. If he fails to i very much doubt he'll honor that statement.

    Saunders has proven himself capable - Eubank is all untested flash.

    The latter has the edge in athleticism but has never shown the fundamentals (never really needed to) or ability to overcome adversity that Saunders has.

    Maybe he can, maybe not. Dancing figure eights around nobodies is no reason to assume he can, however, not to a degree where you can say he'd take out someone that has already shown it.

    You're right about CEJ not being in there with the same caliber of fighter that BJS has and I'm surprised that CEJ goes from the level of fighter that he's fought to BJS. If I was CEJ I would want at least one fight with a better opponent.

    Saying that you seem to be writing off CEJ about him not having fundamentals?? What are these exactly, are you saying he's never been hurt, or been under pressure so we cannot judge how he will respond . If so and it surprises me you seem to be quite fair judging other fighters going by your other posts. Yes BJS will give him a better test but going by BJS I don't see a world class boxer yet. I would say that both BJS and CEJ are domestic level atm. You seem to be putting BJS on a level that he isn't on. Yes he's the european champion and he beat a decent low level fighter but a fighter that I think CEJ beats in Blandamura . Not sure why but your post is a bit out of character to some of your other posts.
