    Turns out CEJ is too big for Leisure centres, why is BJS still fighting in them?

    BJS reckons he got paid huge money to fight Akavov but a lot of you begrudge Jr for getting paid less fighting Big Ren?????

    Why the double standard, BJS is killing the sport demanding huge money for small time events and CEJ gets paid much less for a much bigger event?

    It was close enough that people could legitimately expect a different result ina rematch though.

    I'd also say both CEJ and BJS have hurt the middleweight division and boxing with their BS since their fight. At least with Groves and Degale both were willing to step the **** up so you could sort of forgive their brashness whereas these two jokers continue to fight the worst opposition available to them as infrequently as possible.

    Saunders' venue change was due to the date being moved last minute.

    But congrats to Eubank Jr on winning the "my next fight venue holds more than your last fight venue" belt, hope he has some sort of parade to celebrate.

    This is also more about their promoters and broadcasters than their talents.

    They're both pricks. Eubank gets given a bigger platform to be a ***** alongside his cretinous old man so seems worse but if you actually listen to BJS it's hard to make much of a case for him being any better.

    When BJS talks about boxing, he knows his stuff, and actually comes across quite well when he's on TV as oppose to IFL when he's swearing

    They are but I allow it slightly more for Saunders as thus far he's backed up most of his words

    Has he? What has he done since winning the title? He's spoken a lot but I'm yet to see him actually do anything constructive since he beat Andy Lee. He's been inactive, out of shape and then lacklustre upon his return against a less than stellar opponent. Tyson Fury aside, he may have been 2016's most disappointing champion.

    It's easy to gob off on twitter or IFL but the proof of the pudding is in the eating. When he was offered to fight stateside on the Smith undercard he should have jumped at the chance to raise his profile and showcase his abilities but he didn't want to know.

    He should of been sharpening his skills for a showdown with Canelo - more than winnable in my opinion - or trying to halt the GGG hype train as he improves and the Kazakh slows down. Instead what we get is a subpar showing against a Hugh Jackman impersonator and the occasional sweary video spouting shite.

    Much like Tyson my frustrations with him are largely due to him obviously being quite good but deciding to **** it away being a lazy, arrogant gobshite rather than doing the business in the ring. Rant over.

    And don't get me started in CEJ and his moronic father. That attention seeking has been really need to know his role and stop hindering his son's progress whilst Jr. needs to become a man of his own.

    See above Billy. How his career pans out is up to him. It's frustrating to what but what can we do? It's like my neighbour always used to say you can lead a horse to water but you you can make it think.

    I mean prior to winning the belt, since he won that strap it has been held hostage. His turning down the Rosado fight was crazy. Easy fight and gets US recognition. Basically he just annoys me less than CEJ, that's all.

    Frank warren is the reason bjs has been inactive, Frank's holding on to them.titles for dear life, he needed to so he could get that deal with bt sport over the line, lets face it, if he had no world champion fighters, bt would have kicked him to the curb, franks a snake ad a racist piece of s.h.I...t
