Comments Thread For: Eubank: I'm a Level Above Saunders, I Want Rematch!

[NorvernRob]

Eubank gave away the first 5 rounds against BJS and it still ended up close. If they fight again Eubank wins as long as he works from the start. BJS just isn't that good either.

Didn't catch the fight last night but I remember having BJS clearly winning their fight, I'm shocked some people found it close and that it was a split decision. So he can't claim he's levels above him, Eubank has physical potential but his attitude will be the thing that stops him from progressing.

Jnr stop acting like ur dad

BJS clearly won the fight and jnr has no one to blame but himself!! Billy boxed the snot out of him for the first 6 rounds, he never tried until the second half of the fight. He's a good fighter but he needs to be his own man and stop listening to snr the guy is a crack pot!!! Btw you know he said before the bjs fight his son would beat GGG, only Andre ward beats his son 160-168. Jnr needs a new trainer IMO, one that tells his dad to stop being an ******.

Love him or hate him, Jr is fun to watch when he lets his hands go. His major problem is his defense and his inability to work clean for the majority of the fight. There's often way too punch clinching and throwing wild, wide shots which miss everything.

Jr needs to get rid of his dad, get in a better trainer/coach and work on boxing behind a jab, throwing a straight right hand and using his uppercuts more accurately. No point in throwing as often as he does now and missing most of the time. Any of the upper tier of the MW division, so namely GGG and Cotto and the Lee/Quillin winner beat him easy.

Anyway, in terms of BJS, the rematch will happen just as soon as he gets beat by Lee/Quillin, most likely QUillin. In the mean time, I'd like to see Jr v Macklin if Mack still wants to fight.

love Joe C great fighter!! I like bjs but he might not win a world title, now jnr has joke belt as that's what "interim" titles are!! Chris jnr is half decent but his dad is a joke!! According to snr only Andre W beats his son 160-168.

Because you lost a close decision to Saunders, maybe you could claim you are his equal. But losers don t traditionally claim to be a level above the person they lost to from my understanding.

Clear and clear..
I had the fight 5-1 Saunders in the first 6 and 5-1 Eubank in the second 6.

I'd be ok with 7-5 but I definitely also had the feeling that Eubank was saving energy for the later rounds because it was his first 12 round fight.

Now he's gone 12 hard rounds twice in a row and been stronger in the last 6 than in the first 6.

A rematch would definitely be interesting. But he's not "a level above" by any means.

Got to be honest the fight was close at times ( 106-104, 107-103, cards at the time)and the headbuts made a clear difference, cheapens the win. Jr has a serious lack of power he threw so many shots proper winging them and nothing. He also ran and clinched a lot. Just goes to show u can beat Bradley price terry Carothers lose to bjs and beat chudinov who lost to Patrick Mendy, and get youth call yourself world class. Never knew padding your record with eastern euro bums could get you this far lol

The fight clearly wasn't close though.

Eubank won every round of the fight, regardless what the judges think. 7-4 by the time of the stoppage was an outrageous score.

Chudinov had some mild success in the early rounds but was still losing them. The fight was not close, Eubank battered him in the second half and it should have been stopped a lot earlier.

If he thinks he's a level above Saunders, then go after Jacobs. I doubt BJS would even accept the rematch anyway as he's in line for a title shot.

Billy sound like a complete tool last night whenever they asked him anything about Eubank. I agree BJS feels fortunate to have that win over Eubank and doesn't want a rematch unless it's got retirement money behind it.

However, team Chudinov spent months trying to make a fight with Danny Jacobs and Haymon refused to even acknowledge the negotiations, despite Chudinov being Jacob's mandatory. Eubank has a better shot at getting BJS than Jacobs.
