    Frank/BN needs major/big fights more then world champions IMO.

    Big events to drive up subs which the rematch will do - not BJS v Bursak and then a succession of WBO bums afterwards

    I see it going the same way. Eubank Jr didn't 'choose to start late' either, that's absolute nonsense. He couldn't get near BJS because unlike any of Eubank jr's other opponents, he can actually box and move off the back foot. He slowed down and at the back end of the fight Eubank jr started to have more success.

    I think it'll go more or less the same way

    GGG puts people on the canvas, which is something Eubank Jr has yet to do to any worthwhile fighter

    Lol just rewatched it. Thought he did but, it must have been just the sheer punishment spike tool. Spike would have gone down if the ropes weren't there though

    The coma was indicative of sustained punishment, not a power puncher. He'll get stoppages because he throws in large volumes, seems to have really good stamina so that'll be a useful tool for him

    I can see why people would see it as going much the way as the first fight. Having rewatchef it, BJS will definitely outbox him at spells in the rematch. But there's no doubt in my mind CEJ was the more green and to me seemed concerned about the 12 round distance. In the next 3 fights since he has fought at a quick pace being busy from the offset. That's why I think he will wear down BJS and win the decision. He seems the fitter more durable of the 2

    I think people are underestimating BJS footwork. CEJ didn't start late because BJS was out-boxing him the first half of the fight.
    BJS's stamina is questionable if CEJ goes to war

    if it takes place !!!

    billy joe will be beaten in the rematch , eubank will be relentless from the second the bell rings and i just dont see how billy can pile up the rounds like he did in the first fight , by the time they reach round8 the fight will be pretty even , after that i dont think billy will have much left in the tank this time and i see eubank stopping him late or taking the decision .

    Since the first Saunders fight, which boxer with good footwork has Eubank Jr faced to suggest he'll be able to get near him second time around? I'm not saying it's impossible, but I'm trying to gauge what people have seen differently

    Exactly, people have seen nothing, Eubank hasn't improved! Why do you think booth has left already. Where as bjs has gone on to win a world title against Adam booth trained Andy Lee. Frank ****** said a few weeks back that Adam booth stopped the re-match taking place.....wonder why.

    I think its a good fight, if Eubank Jr starts fighting 4 rounds earlier than the first fight then it gets interesting.
