Billy Joe Saunders vs Eubank Jr

Saunders is a level above him
Saunders by clear points win or late stoppage

 

Eubank Sr interferes with a low blow while the ref isn't looking securing a victory for Jr.

 

BJS will take him to school and back

 

If Saunders sticks to game plan and is in and out all night he can win this as his speed and footwork is better than jr's but if he gets into a brawl with jr then it's lights out!

 

I've gone for the draw. :good

 

I want Eubank jr to win and so Im voting for him but if you were putting money on it the only sensible choice is BJS given his far superior experience at amateur and pro level

 

Have rated Saunders since Beijing, always thought he was the best of that team to make it in the pro's. I do rate Eubank Jr, he is fighter who can improve so much, his journey will be an interesting one.

Saunders is a fantastic talent, fast hands, good accuracy, ring generalship and a high boxing iq. What worries me in his progression in the paid ranks is his conditioning. I know he will be fit for the Eubank fight but if he was always in top shape for each fight he would be able to take his training to another level.....whatever condition he comes into the fight, we know it should probably be higher than what it will be.

2nd worry, punching power. Now he hits hard enough for respect but many great champions have won fights by sheer knock out power, which Saunders does not have in the bag. Mayweather is not a monster puncher but his boxing level is above almost everyone so he gets away with it, Saunders may not.

Eubank Jr is improving. What an incredible athlete this man is. He has shown potential albeit not against any live fighters, wheras Saunders has, plus a stellar amateur career.

I have chosen Saunders for the win on points. Howeve defeat will not ruin Eubanks career. If Saunders was to lose however, I think he would disappear from the boxing map into his lifestyle.

The fight is a must watch!

 

For me Eubank stops him in the mid rounds but the only way I see him losing is if he has his dad in his corner. It's okay doing all the showboating crap when you are against lesser opponents but when you come up to a higher level and you are having tough rounds you need good advice and a reminder of tactics or a change in tactics and not someone just staring at you trying to steal the spotlight. I like both of the Eubanks but Snr could ruin Jnr's career if he continues to do what he is doing

 

So hard to call. I have a gut feeling Eubank Jr wins but have no idea why. He's so unproven.

 

15 morons have voted Eubank

The guy has been feasting on bums. Just because his overrated, senile dad keeps banging on about how good he is doesn't make it so.

 

Regarding level of opposition, everyone has to step up sometime and it's not like BJS is p4p ranked lol.

 

When its a close call i always go with the better amateur experience Saunders pulls away to a pretty comfortable points win and shows that Jr is still a bit green at this level.

 

This will be Eubank Jrs 11th brutal stoppage in a row... BJS will make a fine addition to the highlight reel
