    Saunders clearly won 1-5, 9 and 11. There is no way he lost this fight.

    Saunders rather clearly won.

    The folks *****ing about Eubank getting "robbed" - where is their righteous indignation on behalf of Skeete? He actually was...but of course nobody likes Skeete. That includes me..but he was robbed, and it warrants mention, but hasn't received 5% of the fuss made over Saunders beating Eubank close but clear.

    Fairly close but bjs was the winner.

    Eubanks left it too late to step up the pace.

    He got seriously found out. It showed that he should have stepped up the level for a few fights before taking this fight.

    Really impressed with billy. 4th unbeaten foe in a row and has been in some good tests. I think it will really help him move forward

    I had Jr winning.
    BJS had more success with his jab earlier in the fight, 2nd half of the fight though?
    BJS was getting hurt in there. Last 6 rds were Eubanks for me. He hit the more meaningful power shots.
    Give me 1 power shot over 4-5 jabs which barely s****e the skin.

    Couldn't complain about the result, I had junior by one. I favoured him going in though so probably subconciously biased, certainly not a robbery by any measure.

    I was at the fight and from what I saw in the arena, I thought BJS early work was enough to win a close decision - which he got.

    I haven't watched it back since though but Eubank did come on strong.. but got going too late for me.

    i was team eubank all the way leading up to the fight but have no problem admitting that billy joe won the fight , i watched the fight again last night and its very hard to make a case for eubank . he gave away the first 5 rounds and you just cannot do that against a fighter like saunders .

    Last six? All of them?

    I gave Eubank Jr. the 8th, 9th, 11th, and 12th; 10th just shaded by Saunders and 7th taken more clearly. (Eubank Jr. was aggressive but ineffective, and Saunders rebounded very well from that shaky 6th in which Eubank first put a hurt on him with that uppercut)

    Relatively close fight, I had Saunders 115-113. Again, I just don't understand how people are scoring for a Jr win but that's boxing I guess

    I thought Skeete clearly won that fight. I'd far rather have been him during and after the fight.

    Can't be having draws all the time..

    Part of boxing is debateable decisions.

    Onus was on CEJ to take the belts from BJS. Benefit of doubt to the holder. That's the way it is..

    Skeete has more of a case..

    That Skeet fight was awful to watch.

    Skeete gave that fight away by just throwing a petty jab and nothing else.
