Why would a rematch between Eubank and Saunders be of any interest?
I thought Eubank was soundly beaten the first time?

It was pretty close. Think I had it a draw. Some had Saunders winning (most did), while some had Eubank winning. It was very much a fight of two halves. There'll be a rematch because it'll generate plenty of excitement and interest; the first fight was entertaining. Bad blood sells.

You have to be trolling. If you think that anybody "soundly" wins by spending the 2nd half of the fight in retreat, trying not to get smashed, and is hanging on for dear life in the final round, then you probably aren't an easy guy to reason with.

Saunders's showing in the first half of that fight get's over-shadowed at times. He was schooling Eubank.

Also, Eubank needs to stop referring to himself as a champion..it's an interim belt fella.

Commentators were biased towards Saunders, the first half was close with Saunders winning most rounds, landed nothing of note

was eubank even trying for the first 6 rounds, or did frank say your not going to win but you can make it look competitive to set up the rematch?
