    It was Billy Joe that I was particularly disappointed with. He wasn't great at all. I think he knows it too.....heneverreally seemed "thrilled" with his performance himself.

    Looked like he'd over-trained to me. He'd never been in the shape before and looking back it's pretty obvious he over did it. His tank just emptied so quickly it was incredible.

    naw he didnt get any of his nice combos going or got jr in any trouble it was all just light jabs really, Jr turned the crowd a bit at the end aswell. Yeah afterwards he did seem a bit dissapointed , I think the rematch would be better but Id like to see both fight at world level beforehand and I think theres guys out there they could beat

    He won the first half easily but didn't put the pain on eubanks like he said he would, and I don't think Saunders is featherfisted by any stretch so he should of done more when he couldn't miss eubank.

    Yes, it's never a good idea to DRASTICALLY change your habits before a big event. Hopefully he handles things a bit more professionally from now on.
    But what to do about his lack of power?....

    Well, he's always been feather fisted, but if you can't even go the full 12 at a high pace either...well, you're in serious trouble.

    I know he is a mandatory and he'll take it due to the money on offer, but he's 2/3 fights away from being ready I feel.

    Hmmmm, I wonder if using your missus the best measure of a good fight. Not if mine is anything to go by. She judges good fights on random stuff like if they have well developed shoulder muscles or how nice they are to each other after :lol:

    Saunders would easily outbox Khomitsky. At this stage in his career BJS needs a stiffer test, like Quillin, Cotto, Lee or GGG.

    Mate he's mandatory for the winner of Lee vs quillin, he needs a fight to tick him over. A tough fighter but someone he can beat.
