    Who you got?

    Fancy BJS to win another close PTS decision. Don't think Eubank has improved enough. Fought hard for first half of the round vs Blackwell then took the back end of the round off which I found strange.

    His power is overrated. He hit Blackwell clean many times and didn't get much of a reaction. It was the accumulation of clean shots that Nick took that did for him, rather than the pure power.

    BJS is nowhere near as good as people make out, but he's too slick for Eubank Jr. Only question mark is over his stamina as he struggled in the championship rounds last time.

    Looking forward to it anyway.

    Eubank can't beat Saunders in my opinion, Saunders is just a superior boxer in my opinion, therefore he'll always beat Chris, even if its close. I agree that Eubank's power is overrated, I see it being a similar fight, Billy will probably win 6 out of the first 8 rounds, gas a bit, but still pack up a couple more rounds and win a UD, 116-112.

    No mate he left, that's why he recently took on Mitchell Smith.

    Cheers, I thought it was strange that Booth would be up for sharing the trainer role with Ronnie Davis.

    The caravan kid BJS will win again.

    Eubank is the same fighter imo, looks excellent against stationary targets but has bad footwork himself, he really lacks the basics.

    Saunders UD.

    Really irks me when a fighter gets an injury before a fight and then a few days later they announce a new opponent- fishy.

    As for the fight I see a very similar result to last time out.

    All the people who think it will be similar to the last fight. Go back and re watch it Eubank left it far too late to start, and the last few rounds Bjs looked like he was so tired where eubank looked quite fresh This time I think he will set a fast pace and unless Bjs is in the best shape of his life he will be stopped

    Utter bs he rocked Blackwell many times and beat him so bad he needed to be put in a coma for his own good.

    Even GGG doesn't get a huge amount of real ko's, heaps of the guys he fought have just quit or had to be pulled for their own good. Does that make GGG a weak puncher?

    There aren't many 160 and below that hit harder than CEJ you could count them on 1 hand.

    Most of the people claiming he has overrated power are deadset haters.

    Jr even nearly got BJS out of there tbf and will next time

    Never ever will Eubank beat bjs, no jab, lunges in and poor footwork.
