    Someone out of the WBO top 15 for starters. I don't expect him to fight HNDNJ or anyone of simular caliber of course, but at least keep up appearences.

    Don't understand this match at all. If BJS had a big fan base and could fill arenas fighting anyone then fine, but he can't. Bursak will generate no interest at all and I can't imagine this will sell out. As crazy as it sounds they would have been better off making it against Macklin or someone similar because at least it would spark some interest.

    The other thing is that BJS probably won't be in great shape and therefore won't do himself justice. Looked big at the press conference. Prediction- he'll win a boring UD in a promotion that doesn't make any money

    Last 6 round proved if he got his tactics right he could have won.

    I'm not saying Eubank is a world beater by any stretch of the imagination, but he gave BJS all sorts of problems

    BJS want's to go out and make his first defence of his title now. A fight with GGG has been listed as a stadium fight - something that's not sensible to hold in April when it's likely to be ****ing down with rain etc.

    Golovkin is a summer fight.

    How?

    Jr threw all he head at BJS in the last 6 rounds, and even after Saunders had began to gas CEJ didn't have enough to take him out or even severely wobble him.

    If Eubank was to mix it up and go all out at the start of a rematch all that would happen would be he would end up gassing and Billy Joe would make him look silly and dare I say it, stop him late on.
