    I had it the same as the judge in Eubanks favour, I have to be honest I am quite confused as to how BJS won the fight when I felt that Eubank won 5 of the last 6 rounds so from that it is almost impossible to lose on points. Eubank did start poorly but won the rounds later on through work rate and punches connecting

    Was not a robbery, Jr will come on bundles for that and so will Saunders.

    Was a close fight, one thing for sure Saunders is not ready for a GGG and neither is Jr.

    Yeah go ask Billy Joe if he thought that was a schooling.
    Go ask Jimmy Tibbs too while you're at it.

    A rematch for the 3 brit belts could be bigger than a world title etc.

    When eubanks was fighting from a distance he didnt land much at all, his footwork barely aloud him too. when in close he was actually manouvered by BJS and bjs claimed the centre of the ring by turning chris, BJS dont get any credit, gypsy racism imo. He didnt completely beat down eubanks, but he won 8-10rounds depending how u score it and he rocked eubanks plenty of times with straight right hands, something people didnt think he could do. Hes featherfisted weak little middleweight, eubanks is a huge middleweight that got his face jabbed in for his troubles. :hi:

    i couldnt seperate the two before the fight really even though i realised saudners was the better boxer , i went for eubank though it played out differently to what id thought, the key was eubank taking a few rounds to find out that he wasnt comfortable boxing someone of saudners class, his posing style wont work against good oppoisition.
    hope to see the two of them fight some world level guys id say theyre about the same level though

    Over-hyped yes. I still think he did okay considering how big a step up in class it was compared to his previous opponents and because I rate Saunders as a talented boxer who seemed to be in shape and take this fight seriously. Both fighters can have good careers if they keep putting the work in.

    No robbery.

    Started off too slowly and paid the price.It was his first time doing the 12 rounds and he would of been wary of that.

    Close fight and BJS rightly shaded it 7-5 in rounds for me.
