Forget press conferences, the cold hard facts are that bjs takes this kid to school . Young Christopher will be made to miss and will be punished with combos for 12 rounds. I like eubank and was a big fan of his dad's , but he does not have the skill set to beat billie , I would be shocked if he won 3 rounds .
Are you not forgetting all the sparring Jr. puts in? Worth more than his actual fights in terms of experience.
This is the unknown. Sr. has had Jr. working old skool and that means lots of hard sparring and living the life. I also believe that Sr. loves his son and would not put him in a fight that he has doubts about. He talked about him sparring a Cuban heavyweight and getting beat up. The talk of Jr. not being in with the same level of opponent is nonsense IMO, I bet BJS has never set foot in a ring with the same quality of guys that Jr. has sparred on a regular basis over the last 10 years.
Eubank Sr. is too smart to get his son beat at British level. He knows Jr. beats Saunders all day long. He'll have Jr. living the life and he'll have watched the sparring sessions and analyzed them and come to the conclusion that Jr. beats Saunders easily.. He fancies himself as a wise man so im sure he will have done tremendous amounts of homework on this.
Got to love Chris Snr, he knows 100% what he's doing. Taking the heat away from Chris Jnr whilst pissing off Frank and Billy Joe at the same time. Billy looks to me he's getting too emotionally involved in this fight.
By all accounts he has sparred some top names and you hear reports that he performs well in his spars, and as stated i'm not hating on jnr, i just cant see anyway he beats an in form saunders. one thing i will say is that saunders has never really had his whiskers tested, and by all accounts jnr can pack a punch, but if billie boxes to his best then he beats jnr all day long (imo)
I think this is getting a bit like Benn and Eubank, Benn wound himself up so much for the fight it backfired on him, I feel the same is going to happen with Saunders.
This is what makes the fight interesting - it's the unknown. BJS has done everything right, done absolutely everything that's been required of him so far in his career. He's been tested at all levels he's currently been at, passed all of those tests and was being positioned into a world title shot. If you didn't know anything about either man, put there records side by side and you'd immediately say BJS by whitewash. But the thing is.. the likes of Groves and Froch do not bring you in for sparring if you are a mug, especially in the lead up to big fights. People in the boxing know such as a Adam Booth (especially when your not one of his fighters), don't go on about you being a special talent if you're a mug. Eubank Sr was a fighter who, especially when starting out, trawled gyms for class sparring and we seen what a superb fighter he turned out to be. He's taking his boy down the same route. BJS is more proven, we know what he's about. With Eubank Jr we just don't know.
