BJS has predicted Eubank will pull out, so surely Eubank wouldn't do that, now that people think it. But that didn't stop Haye pull out of Fury fight when Fury predicted he would.
So lets see if Eubank is going to make Gypsy fairground crystal ball future readers have credibility.
So,
Eubank Jnr is willing to risk his biggest payday (and title shot) to date by taking a warm up fight against a tomato can 4 weeks before he is down to fight BJS.
I don't know exactly what the purse for the BJS fight is - but it would easily be at least 10 X what he would get for the warm up fight in October.
So, why take such a crazy risk when he could get better quality, safer sparring?
Call me a cynic, but I believe that Eubank Jnr will still withdraw from the BJS fight with a mysterious injury - probably his hand / shoulder or similar.
I believe that Eubank Snr is pulling the strings - hyping the fight to generate publicity for his son's future career.
I might be wrong (hope so) but for me, all the signs are already there.
A lot of people are gonna be eating their words when Eubank gives BJS a good ass wooping. As athletes they're different levels , BJS is not world class and small at the weight. He is also classless. The Eubanks have succeeded in winding him up and it's gonna work in their favor.
Yes, BJS will need to keep a level head and not play into Eubanks hand as Eubank does hit pretty hard, so be a bit careful at the very least.
BJS not world class? Well, considering Eubanks hasn't fought the best domestic level fighters yet, you can hardly call Eubanks world class, and if you do you may be jumping the gun a tad prematurely.
Sparring with Froch don't make you world class.

What I like about BJS is that he cuts right through all the BS.
His honesty is refreshing, especially as Eubank Jnr is a bit of a trash talker without really being able to back it up. (His record speaks for itself).
In reality I don't think the fight will happen for at least 12 months, but I'll be betting on BJS on a stoppage within 6 rounds.
I have seen Eubank Jnr fight live, he is not as good as people like to think.
"He's a ******, he's just a little ******" WarBJS
Saunders is going to look pretty foolish if he ends up losing to Eubanks. I know Eubanks hasn't fought anyone at all yet, but I believe he has some levels we haven't seen and I don't think they'd take the fight with Saunders if they thought they were outmatched. He has the option of building up without taking a risk like this. Meanwhile Saunders looks like a good fighter, but he's not that impressive. There's some factors here I'm just not sure of with these two.
:lol1: BJS at it again, I'm in tears
Got to say, I was thinking the same thing as BJS when I heard that Eubank Jr was fighting in Liverpool as well. Sounds like a 'hand injury' waiting to happen. I actually think Eubank Jr will win this fight if it happens, but it doesn't look like Eubank Sr is too keen on the fight going ahead.
BJS is straight clownin' JR. He even went in on SR's weird @ss LOL SR sitting there like he got a stick up his @ss. I honestly don't know who wins this cause I haven't followed either guy very well but this is entertaining to watch and it's gotten me excited for the fight.
I might be in the minority supporting Eubank Jnr in this fight, I think he's the more talented of the two and I really enjoy watching the father son double act, very entertaining. I think Eubank wins by stoppage round about the 6th but this is a huge test and we'll finally see him in a real fight and see if he passes the test. Great matchup.
a d!ck perhaps, but not a p*ssy. if he was a p*ssy what does that make the rest of us, BJS included?
considering what he has done in his career he has earned a certain amount of respect, the only people with the right to withhold that are people who earned the same amount of respect or more.
what he does for his son now doesnt take away from his own career and as a fellow fighter who isnt remotely as accomplished BJS is obliged to show the proper amount of respect.
some of you are comfortable just disrespecting anyone without being anyone yourself. sorry, but if you are living on food stamps you arent in any position to question warren buffetts business decisions nor discredit him when it comes to finances in any way.
likewise, if you are billy joe saunders you arent in any position to question chris eubank sr within the fight game. kid is out of line, somebody needs to walk up on him and make both sides of his face match.
I don't think he called Eubank Sr a "puussy". He doesn't like Eubank Sr. He's allowed to not like him. Plenty of people didn't like him during his career. That's how he made a lot of money.
Why are you commenting on a boxing forum then? I assume you are a decorated fighter? No? Oh well I'm sure you've never said anything derogatory about a boxer before, right? No? Well shut up and get off your high horse then....
I must admit I maybe understood 50% of what he said, the accent is a bit much for a hillbilly like me to understand fully but he was kind of a bit classless with some of the things i did understand
bjs is basically a british hillbilly
kid has the right to say all this stuff about jr as far as im concerned, but i think he is being a real ***** talking about eubank sr that way.
he keeps saying "his dad is the same" after calling jr a p*ssy, m*nge f*g etc and its not acceptable.
chris eubank sr is a million times more accomplished than saunders, he is a world champion who had success at an entirely different level. on top of that he is retired, he is like 50 years old.
i dont like it when active fighters disrespect great fighters who are too old to get in the ring with them and make them eat their words. if the guy you are talking **** about was clearly 10 times the fighter you are on top of it, then its just a complete b!tch move.
just my five cents.
there isnt even any need to include sr in this. what has he done except back his son like any father should? he hasnt said anything out of line about sunders considering the highly derogatory things saunders has said about their whole family from day one.
saunders is just classless, i think family should be left out of talking up a fight. even if they are former fighters themselves, if they were actually good and deserving of respect they should definitely be left out.
Totally agree, trash talk Jr all he wants but leave the big man alone. And to say his brothers probably got raped too...that's going too far. I kinda like BJS so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt cos he must be pissed off.
You do realise that Chris Sr is the one who is controlling his son's career? He's not just a supportive dad. He's his manager, trainer etc. He's heavily involved in this whole thing and probably behind the delay/pull-out.
Chris Sr being a great fighter doesn't mean he isn't a twat. Not saying he is but Saunders has a right to his opinion.
