    Yes but what happens if BJS starts off fast....and keeps going fast....

    Eubank has so far only shown the ability to really work for 30 seconds a round, and that only against road sweepers and bin men....I think he hasn't ever boxed past 8 rounds or something like that???

    BJS on the other hand has gone 12 hard rounds at a fast pace several times. Surely it is HE that is the proven operator here,no?

    I'm not saying CEJ can't win this one, but all the sensible reliable evidence points to a BJS win.
    Al the comments supporting Eubank winning are highly speculative to say the least...for example HOW is he the better athlete? Is it cos he has a muscular appearance? This counts for little in boxing. Lots of local heroes have gym-bunny bodies, but they can't box.

    What if, ..what if...your "they're all biased" theory is WRONG.
    What if, amazingly, these guys are simply giving their honest opinion? Is that so hard to believe? Not to me it isn't. I think these guys know best, and are honest brokers, calling it as they see it. That's my belief anyway.

    Why do you defend Irish and traveler boxers so vehemently? Are you a traveler Len?

    I predict Eubank will rock Saunders mid-way through the fight and Saunders will never really recover. Eubank will see Saunders sagging, realise he is not boxing or moving with the same conviction as in the earlier rounds, and become contemptuous of him; walking him and down and winging in shots from different angles. Around round nine or ten he'll catch him clean and it will be Goodnight Vienna.

    ONe thing Lacy did have was a far better amateur and pro record

    In all probability Blackwell is fishing for a fight with Eubank Jr. because it's his best chance of a good payday. It might be his genuine opinion but I wouldn't put too much faith in it.

    I personally don't think this will be a close fight. If Eubank is as good as suggested he'll thrash Saunders. If he isn't Saunders will win comfortably.

    I was shocked by the size of Eubank at the weigh in next to BJS. There is no rational reason as to why Jnr would have this fight if he had a different name. If it's all about levels BJS has proved where he's at & Jnr has potential & hasn't been tested. Was impressed that Adam booth said Jnr is the real deal. That said nothing that I have seen of either of them would give you any evidence for anything else than BJS win
