Comments Thread For: Chris Eubank Jr: I Felt That I Won, I Overtook Saunders

I was rooting for Saunders but I do have to admit Eubank jr put a beating on him . Saunders had poor boxing skills . He only threw the jab but didn't follow up. The only way to win in the u.k is by knockout .:/

So you're saying Saunders didn't win? And all the decision victories in the UK are bogus?

Or are you trying to imply this only applies to certain boxers in particular? A group of boxers?

Confused...

sounds like fury and saunders have some real scummy fans

Glad too see that doing the rounds. I was at the fight and it was the worst organised event imaginable. BJS and Fury brought scores of their gypsy extended family without tickets who just felt they ran the place - and they did because security did f..k all.

I reckon the event was also oversold by about 2000 people, I spoke to a few people who had moved to go to the bar and when they got back some gypo had nicked their seat and refused to move. Security refused to do anything.

There were scores of people who just walked into the outer ring area because there was no one there to stop them. Again, security did nothing. The bloke in front of me got threatened and left his £250 seat because people were walking up and offering him out because he told some kid (Fury's 18th nephew, twice removed) to move out of the way.

Team fury eventually started letting some of their brothers/cousins/nephews into the inner ring area when after about an hour of the crowd shouting at security they finally got off their arse.

Frank Warren is a money grabbing c...t for overselling that. I feel bad for the people who paid good money to watch a fight only be threatened and have their seat nicked by BJS fan club.


Still....BJS v Eubank ...what a fight. I had Eubank winning it for the more accurate shots and the fact he had BJS backing up for the second half of the fight. Credit to both fighters, and credit for Eubank for not being intimidated by that crowd. If he won that, there's no way they werent kicking off.

a gripping story

i feel your pain

Of course not all the victories. What I'm saying is if ur an American fighter comin to the u.k than u better win convincing (knockout) . If anything at least give it a draw if they didn't wanna disappoint Saunders fans .. I saw Saunders taking a lot of uppercuts .. He didn't even work the body .

Even tho Eubank ain't American he was still in Saunders hometown ..

Eubank went in there with the only Mentality of KO'in BJS, that was his first mistake, his second was showboating when he should have been fighting. Swinging wide and wildly, off balance most of the time, it's like watching the declined Naseem Hamed.

Thought Eubank took it 115-113 but can see it the other way too. Inexperience was probably the key factor here, turns out it wasn't the best of ideas to go from pretty much 18 tomato cans to a top 20 middleweight southpaw in such a high profile fight. However Eubank should learn a lot from it and it is likely that he will eventually go further than Saunders.
