    Lee is out injured so it is now likely that these two will face off the wbo interim world title and rumors are of it being held at stamford bridge

    Fingers crossed this one comes off, looks very likely given that they've both been pulled from the Wembley card.

    WAR SAUNDERS!

    if they get the fury klitscho fight in the UK could this be on the undercard?

    not sure the fight itself is big enough for Stamford bridge

    More likely the Copper Box I'd imagine.

    I give Eubank more of a chance this time around than I did last time, he impressed me more in the later stages of the fight than I thought he would, I thought he'd sulk after getting his ears boxed off for the first couple of rounds but if anything it fired him up more.

    However, I do believe that his team is too stubborn to have learnt any lessons and alter their game plan from the first fight whereas BJS will stick to what he does best and perhaps even pace himself a bit better so he doesn't lose as many rounds.

    In short, yeah, favouring BJS in similar style to the first fight. How do you see it going?

    I also think if he stars fired up like he says he will it may affect him second half of the half, Saunders has a great chin and has done the 12 countless times, great fight tho

    Love this fight, wanted the Lee fight though. It could still be a bit too early again for Eubanjk Jr. TKo round11 for Eubank

    Eubank will win the rematch. He'll put in on Saunders from the start this time and possibly cause a late stoppage.

    Eubank points in the second one for me. Think he has more about him than Saunders, think Saunders relies on being able to jab and not be pushed back, he has got a great chin though so I cant see either being stopped.

    Depends, BillyS footwork is far better, if he can get the left cross right hook working he could beat eubank easier. If eubank is sharper and more confident on his stamina he could UD Saunders and hurt him. I dot see a ko here, I don't rate them as huge punchers and both have good chins.

    Hope this fight gets made again.
    Can't see it being made tOo quickly though due to the greedy promoters probably wanting to hype it up more

    Just get it on ffs

    Too soon after the first fight for me.........Personally id like BJS to fight for a World title before a rematch with Eubank.
