    BJS UD, too much for the inexperienced and under-matched Eubank JR.

    I have rated BJS since the Olympics, going with him unaminous decision, possibly split in an entertaining fight.

    Really don't like the way BJS isn't in shape. He does have natural ability but i really think he could be fighting at light middle, not saying he should be but a 24 year old who has a hard time keeping weight down is going to struggle, especially later in his career. I just think Eubank has the more potential by far. He will win the fight, but won't look as good as some people are saying.

    Agree with this. Saunders hates him, quite literally.

    At the end of the day, Saunders is 19 days older than Eubank Junior, but I'm not sure people know that! However, he was a far superior amateur career, he has won Southern Area, British, Commonwealth & European titles and has been tested. Look through Eubank's record and tell me the form lines, he has literally beat no one. Not saying he can't step up but it is likely that there will be a huge gulf in class & experience. I'm not buying this knock out run either, as far as I can see he hasn't knocked anyone out that hasn't been stopped before, in most cases earlier by someone else. 18 months ago he was generally though of a feather fisted. The truth is probably somewhere between.

    In my opinion, its the equivalent of a guy are Southern Area level fighting someone who is fringe world class and potentially world class. I know who my money will be on.

    Really impressed with BJS, have only just watched his fights.
    Most impressive.
    I haven't watched Eubank yet, but he would want to be exception to get near BJS - from what I've seen so far.

    You realise this is a Wank Farren card? No chance the fight happens.

    Totally agree. War*en uses this announcement to bolster the poor ticket sales for Chisora v pikey. One of the two fights will definitely fall through.

    That's because he keeps knocking people out then staring blankly and chillingly at the tv camera. :)

    Luckily, he is a bit of an exception. :)

    Exactly.

    Liam Walsh vs Gary Sykes has also been added to the Excel Arena card and is another cracking domestic scrap with a real grudge between the two. The show is aptly named 'Bad Blood' and is shaping up to be the best domestic card of the year.

    I'm surprised though that after over 130 votes, Eubank Jr still holds a 60-40% advantage of fans favouring him to beat BJS.
