Anyone seen what kind of shape billy joe saunders is in?

He might throw with bad intentions, but he's thrown them against nobodies. Hell, he couldn't get Bradley Pryce out of there, so why should we believe he can get rid of BJS?

He might be brilliant, I have no idea, but based on the cold hard facts it's really hard to see how or why he beats BJS.

 

thats true alright, i didnt see the Pyrce fight just the highlights, but he looked like he hurt him with shots in that fight and maybe if he really needs to get someone out of there he can force it. He seems to have a bit of power i think more than saunders its the movement thats the big issue in my opinion if he can keep up with saunders whose more fluid. In the fights against nobodies recently he does look like hes improved his punching aswell.

 

i totally agree. based on facts, eubank jr is in over his head.

as i have said before, i dont think eubank is a one punch knockout guy. he will not be a "puncher" at world level imo.
so him taking out a slick southpaw with a hard chin like saunders is hard to imagine and certainly not backed by any facts.

and people forget saunders has a bit of a punch too. took out fletcher in two. and blandamura in eight. and who says eubank has a better chin then those guys??

breaking this down, even if you give eubank a slight edge in power, this again boils down to a rather classic scenario:
the slick, fluid, southpaw boxer vs the harder hitting, more spectacular puncher with less classic schooling.

usually, the boxer takes this.

 

I never said that EUJ can bang like Julian Jackson and the like, but on the flip side, BJS ain't gonna have the beard of say a eubank snr either. At the weigh in EUJ looked massive in comparison to BJS plus I think that BJS didn't look world level in beating the likes of Ryder who he just squeezed past in my opinion, fletcher got stopped early by ref and looked **** in his last fight and nick Blackwell can't punch through wet ass wipe paper. I've watched boxing since Minter got destroyed by Hagler and I would bet my left testicle on a EUJ stoppage win

 

i thought BJS's arms looked a bit too thin

 

Good, now he can sort his fooking spelling out the thick gypsy ****.

Yeah I was pleasantly surprised at this too, he actually looks like a professional boxer for a change! Hopefully this means we will see the best of Saunders. Hopefully this is a good fight and both guys do themselves justice and show that they are both good fighters.
