Very difficult to call since BJS has displayed solid skills, enough to beat the version of Jr we've seen in a couple of fights of his. I've always felt Jnr had at least two more gears in reserve though. I think BJS will get drawn into a macho war, lose what he's good at through fatigue/nervous energy, and get out-muscled in a scrappy affair. I can see both a schooling and a harsh lesson for Jr but just edge towards a Eubank late stoppage or points win. Fu¢k all interest for anyone over-seas but a fantastic fight, for me, better potential than the main event.
Really cant decide, but would say credit to Saunders for taking this fight when he didnt have to. That shows great confidence
I couldn't live any further from the UK and I'm very interested. I might be the minority though i suppose. Chris Eubank is one of my all time fav's and his son seem's like he's cut from the same cloth. I love Eubanks posing its pretty damn hilarious. He will only clown BJS after he's khtfo for real he's not foolish.
Saunders win Eubank jr with a badly peppered face by the end IMO. I am sure Mr Tibbs has the perfect blue print for a fighter like Eubank jr
Glad there's some interest from abroad, if minimal. Not sure how easy it is to formulate a game plan against such an unorthodox fighter as Eubank, never mind sticking to it in what will be a tribal and raucouz atmosphere. I think BJS may struggle to live up to his own standards and fatigue from the mid rounds
billy joe saunders wins and he wins in style. the only thing eubank jnr has got is hes fathers surname. we can all look good in the gym, me granny would look good against the journeymen he has fought. it takes alot more than a few wins against people he shouldln't even be in there with cos its a total mismatch and a surname to be a great fighting man. jnr getting mullered in there.
Saunders on points. Eubanks best win is over a faded much smaller man in Pryce. His level of competition is an absolute joke and he's facing fighters who he should have been doing in his first few fights.
First thing first I am In England Bristol to be accurate well I hope I am last night was pretty heavy you hit the nail on the head there sir if (BJS can stick to a game plan) as IMO the Eubanks are great at mind games that's my only worry for BJS.
The Eubanks didn't show up to the press conference today. Which begs the question- how many press conferences do you need to sell a fight?
eubank will stop saunders inside of 8 rounds . he may have only been knocking over cannon fodder so far but this is standard practise for all potentially good fighters early in there career . eubank has been in froch-maidana-mayweather camps most of the year sparring with some of the best fighters out there , hes not there to be a punching bag , he is there because he is looked at as quality preperation for major fights by the top teams in boxing .
The best billie joe boxes circles around CEJ, Eubank has overrated power and does not have the skills to out box billie . Billie wide decision
If even a fraction of the stories of his sparring sessions are to be believed then he's more than ready for this fight. Didn't Eubank bash Degale in sparring?
