    Saunders on points as long as he doesnt lose his head in the second half of the fight again

    Re-matches more often than not go the same way.

    I felt Eubank was vastly inexperienced for that fight, he came on strong in the second half. to his own admission he started too late

    I see Eubank winning the rematch 7-5/8-4

    Eubanks would have to seriously alter his footwork and punch output and technique to outbox saunders, and saunders would have to die an almighty death to get beaten by eubank.

    i would much prefer to see eubank win this fight , he will be a much more entertaining fighter to follow long term than saunders , i appreciate he has a lot of improvement to make but if he can do it then i see a lot of good fights in the future .

    I think he seemed to gas as well pretty badly. He'll probably turn up in better condition this fight.

    Same outcome as first fight, Eubanks boxing skills are no were near the standards of BJS, Eubanks game plan in the first fight still puzzles me to this day and if saunders was in better condition in the last fight the scorecards would have been a lot more convincing and this rematch would not be happening

    obviously using the first fight is the easiest guideline but how much improvement does either fighter have from that , i just dont see saunders being any different and i dont see him going on to better things , im not convinced his lifestyle outside of the ring is the cleanest either . eubank on the other hand has a mass of improvement available to him and even 10% would probably be enough to win a second fight . i understand he is not the most likable of fighters right now but given a bit of time he could be great to watch from a UK perspective , i really hope he puts saunders away inside 12 rounds this time and maybe the UK support will get behind him a bit . i like to have a UK boxer we look forward to watching and i think eubank could be the one if he can find the needed improvement , i dont see anything excitable with saunders .

    I've got to go with the better boxer here which is BJS. Eubank Jr is just far too crude for my liking; with his much vaunted power seemingly not THAT powerful. I expect BJS to win a wider decision than he won last time out.

    :good If BJS works on his stamina, I expect the same, Eubank has good power, but Billy seems to have a good chin

    Why is this happening so soon. Wish they waited, I don't think Eubank has improved much at all. Probably expect the same result.

    Who knows. Not sure why the first fight took place before either of them had reach a level where it could be seen as a big fight. Kind of like Groves v DeGale 1
