Huge robbery .. Clearly beat Saunders up..

[LSKennedy]

Eubank Jr is off balance 95% of the time. He's garbage. No power, average speed, comes in with his hands down like an amateur.

If Eubank actually learns from this experience and finds a jab and uses his feet properly he could be quite good. This swing and stumble malarkey is rubbish though.

I hope the UK gets some decent fighters soon, I really do

We have a couple, but the way we sell these average domestic level/European level fighters is awful

Saunders was clearly the better boxer.

Eubank looked in better shape but he is still very green. I don't see anything special in his future, his balance is terrible. Loads up on his right hand. Needs to improve his jab.
