Blackwell came no where near winning. Eubank did in the view of a lot of the audience and one of the judges. Eubank is going on next to fight a highly world ranked class opponent. Blackwell will now face a british journeyman. Whereas Blackwell came back against a journeyman. Good fighter, I didn't say he wasn't but to say Eubank avoided him is daft. Especially when he went on to fight someone who beat Blackwell comfortably.
Are you a bit stupid? Its not nonsense. Its fact. It was a split decision Eubank got. Saunders was lucky. Eubank is now fighting a better fighter who is even higher ranked. Blackwell went on to fight a journeyman and his next fight will be in next against some british level contender. His career is going no where. That is all fact! Would you like a hanky tiny tears?
That would be great, Furey, if it's true. I'd like to see him get ahead too. Who manages and promotes him these days?
Billy joe Saunders schooled the arrogant so and so, 8 rounds to 4. He made the hype job look terrible and a level below. And what your typing is a lot of nonsense, sounds like you didn't watch the fight, or you're a casual who ain't got the first clue how to score a fight. And that's facts.
Actually it sounds like you who has no clue how to score a fight. I was sat in the arena in the floor seats, so, close to the ring. I am also a carded amateur judge for the ABA.
Also who made who look terrible? Eubank had fought no one. Not even gone past 8 rounds and hadnt had mch of an amateur career. Billy Joe however is an olympian. Holds the British, commonwealth and european titles and had taken himself away on a "special" training camp and got in to the best shape he has ever been in becuase he knew the very real threat that eubank is. In the fight it wasnt the seasoned experienced champion who finished stronger. It was the novice. Saunders was saved by the ref in the last round. It was his hardest ever fight. No one previous had come close to giving him that kind of fight. If anyone it was Saunders who was shown up. He just s****ed past this one against pretty much an unproven nobody. He was supposed to be leagues above. He isnt. A split decision that is disputed by those that watched it means that currently they are on a par. Now Eubank finally has the experience of a decentish opponent and doing 12 rounds finishing stronger he will be all the better for it. Billy Joe did his best whereas Eubank could have started the pressure ealier.
Sorry the bit you highlighted in bold was supposed to read "Blackwell came nowhere near to winning". Ill edit it now.
Saunders got lucky? A fight is over 12 rounds, just because you came on strong towards the end.. doesn't discount the fact he lost arguably all of the first 5/6 rounds.. Eubank took too long to get going, that's his problem and it's also something you have to give Saunders credit for. I was at the fight and had Saunders winning, I watched it back a few days later and had Saunders winning. Eubank with a bit more experience and less of his *******s, could have made more of it.
you heard the screams and shouts the crowd when eubank landed up to 5 punches in one round, and being a casual you are, you gave those rounds automatically to jr. the first 5 went to Saunders the last 7 were split. :deal and indeed eubank swinging for the fences and missing like a pub brawler, is him being made to look silly. Whatever youre proffesion or hobby is, i bet i score a fight, with more thought and intellect than you. :good
Try and get the winners name right..it comes in handy when you're ...er....ahem..."judging fights".... :scaredas:
Well said. While blackwell did indeed lose to BJS, he kept his composure, his balance, kept his defence tight etcdidn't get tired, frustrated and made BJS work 3 minute of every round..and finished like a real pro ..putting BJS under educated pressure. This is in stark contrast to CEJs amateurish effort, wild swings, lunging in,off balance, exhausted staggering around etc etc CEJs huge size was his only real advantage over BJS. Soon he wil be art 168.
