    I watched the fight and thought Joe clearly won it and i had eubank going in to the final rounds needing a KO

    But reading online i see that ppl saying Jr got robbed

    So i think a poll should settle it

    Voted Saunders but can see an argument for Eubank Jr or a draw.

    I honestly think Eubank dominated the second half of the fight and landed better punches than Saunders did in the first half of the fight. Maybe the judges were swayed by the louder Saunders support in the crowd.

    the close rounds could have gone to Eubank i guess but i think as a challenger you have to take the belt from the champion, Jr didnt do enough

    Billy Joe cruised it and the only ones saying it was close are the ones who embarrassed themselves putting Eubank's son up with the elite and writing a proven warrior like Saunders off.
    I'm not slagging Eubank, he seems to have talent, and a bit of heart, but maybe he'll treat the smaller, less talented, part-time guys with a bit more respect from here on, because he has come across as a real kno b head up to now.

    I would agree with that.
    I also agree with the guy that said the crowd noise can have an influence (also the commentary and general personal bias/favouritism).

    How so? By being confident or by posturing, posing and trying to emulate his dad and entertain the people watching or is it something else?

    I thought Eubank won the last three rounds and I could definately give him another 3 out of the previous 9.

    This was my view from Ringside, need to watch the fight back.

    Great fight. 2 great fights tonight and 2 absolute stinkers.

    As much as I like Eaubank, Saunders won the fight. I scored it 115-113. Eubank threw away the first 5 rounds.
