    Alot of Non-Brits will be looking forward to the Derek Chisora-Tyson Fury rematch this weekend but another fight on the 'Bad Blood' card, Eubank vs Billy Joe Saunders, is the one that British boxing fans are really talking about.

    Both are unbeaten 25 year olds and the winner gets a World title shot against the Korobov-Lee WBO World title winner.

    Billy Joe Saunders.

    This fight has so many possibilities, will the experience of Saunders overcome the natural athletic abilities of Eubank jr? the fight is a true 50-50 one and sure to be full of drama, action and excitment that should not be missed.

    The question is:

    WHO DO YOU THINK WINS?

    This is a far better fight than those ones that Mayweather has been involved in this year and Pacquiao was last week.

    That poll will end up about 50/50. Can you say that about Mayweather v some plodding Argentine Journeyman or Pacquiao v some glass chinned American hype job

    Agreed.

    This is the kind of fight that Boxing needs but normally never gets, two young unbeaten guys in the prime of their life and in a high stakes 50-50 fight.

    Too many of the Top stars in boxing are taking 'Gimme fights' and it's slowly turning off the fans.

    Boxing is the best sport in the world when they make the Match-ups the FANS WANT rather then what the Promoters/Boxers want.

    :good The UK has delivered fights like this before (Groves v DeGale, long before it had 'marinated') once again proving us to be the new Mecca of boxing.

    This fight will be like Hopkins v Jones in 93. Both will go on to become modern greats regardless of the winner. :deal

    Seems like youtube comment sections are full of Eubank Jr fans. I wonder what they see that I don't?

    I'm actually going for Chisora and Eubank jr but we will see on Saturday.

    Don't forget the two other very intriguing fights on undercard:

    Frankie Gavin vs Bradley Skeete - Despite what some people think, this could be a really interesting and even entertaining fight.

    Liam Walsh vs Gary Sykes - Almost a guaranteed barnburner of a fight.

    Eubank Jr takes this one. I'm not really that impressed by BJS, he has quick hands and feet but he lacks the variation and defensive skills of Eubank Jr.

    Eubank Jr has improved a lot based upon his last few fights. His style has become more measured, he has developed some nice subtle skills. The way he uses his shoulder to create space and off balance his opponent, the check hook, the shoulder roll etc. I think he just has an extra dimension to his game.

    True but he's looked good in beating this level of opposition and I'm sure people said the same about Eubank Sr when he fought Benn.

    But we'll see come Saturday. Am really looking forward to this fight and chanting Eubank at the TV like I did as a kid growing up when watching his father.

    Eubank will school him and KO him.
