Comments Thread For: Saunders: If Chris Eubank Jr. Has a Pair, Let's Fight!

[Pretty Boy1]

Saunders is a fighter with great potential. He has had some great opposition for his learning fights. He realizes what Eubank really is.

Billy has beaten 4 unbeaten fellow prospects in his career including Fletcher who is challenging for a title although not real, but still a title nonetheless against Jacobs. Saunders' last 3 opponents:

1) 22-0
2) 15-0
3) 16-0

All of whom are prospects and not those bums that gotta 20-0 record against 0-10 fellow bums.

Chris Eubank's last three opponents are not only laughable, but his last opponent was 19-3 and his previous 3 wins were against guys who were:

1) 0-3
2) 0-1
3) 0-8

Sorry, to go all boxrec on everybody, but Saunders walks through Eubank and makes easy work of him and ends the hype as Chris is just riding off of a surname. Eubank has 17 fights and hasn't even fought for the English title where as Saunders is British, CW and European champion with in 20.

I think Eubank Jr's level of opposition has ben very sub standard but their records were a bit better than you've put.

You're right about his last opponent now being 19-3 (19-2 before Eubank Jr fight)

But the 3 previous to that were:

12-3
13-2
22-5-2

At the time of Eubank Jr fighting them.

I think the plan is for Eubank Jnr to be protected - Saunders is a high risk fight for him.

I can't really see this happening for at least 12 months.

Eubank Snr is not ******, he will try and pad his son's record and hype him all the way to the bank.

Fighting BJS this early would expose Eubank Jnr badly IMO, there some real flaws in his boxing at the moment.

He was talking about the opposition of the last guy Eubank Jr fought.

Eubank is just hoping for some attention by talking smack with Saunders...

sounds ****** but I think its the other way round

eubank gets a lot more press and a casual fans of the sport interested

saunders knows the score ... by beating eubank his stock and exposure goes up

I hope the fight gets made

I think it actually will since both fighters don't look like they'll go on to blow out world class opposition and promoters don't wanna see them get really exposed beforehand Buglioni style

Eubank jr can't stay padded forever as well and there's decent hype behind it
