    I don't know whether he'll stop him or not, but I'm pretty certain BJS will at least win this fight comfortably on points after weathering a bit of an early storm.

    BJS CV is certainly better then Jr's but its hardly world level either. Both fighters still remain largely untested, Jnr being the more untested.

    Its not as big jump as people are making out and I believe Jnr will show he is the real deal. He may lose on points but he will put on a very good showing

    Well we have two things to go there.

    1. His fathers genes, not very encouraging. Stamina, engine and work rate were not seniors forte.

    2. The evidence from his fights. He seems to work about 30 seconds of a 180 second round. Again not very encouraging.

    Not really. Eubank jr might have some of his fathers chin. Also BJS is feather fisted for a top middleweight....:thumbsup

    All true, but not as true as every CEJ fight has been the definition of low volume and low paced. Find it hard to believe BJS won't make this a fast paced fight.

    I agree that odds on Saunders will simply outwork and outbox Eubank Jnr. Eubank looks fast and sharp, but only against limited opposition, and he simply is not a grafter in the ring. Half the time he seems to prefer posing to punching! Admittedly, when he does let his hands go he looks **** hot, but Saunders is a pretty cute mover in the ring and is not going to get caught easily. BJS on points, and probably by a wide margin, too.
