Comments Thread For: Billy Joe Saunders: Eubank Will Defeat Groves - But Not Me

[iamboxing]

Jr gets his arse handed to him. Billy showed he not only had tons of stamina but brilliant ring intelligence.

[Shrap]

For a while, like most, I thought that. But after the Lemieux fight I see BJS winning more decisively than the first fight.

“Mentally he knows that I have his number. I gave Eubank his chance to rematch three times, three times I signed a contract and sent it to him and three times he never sent it back."

I had no idea this happened, I cant say that I'm surprised. E.U bum jr. is a bully and his boxing is trash - hes all conditioning, his defense like Eubank Sr. -- its horrible, but they try to come across as fine pugilist, on the contrary they are very crude and Neanderthal like, truly comical listening to these euro-bums, especially the geezer.

I thought you knew that I am a big fan of British boxing.

I can’t see BJS beating Eubank in a rematch. Maybe it was supreme boxing from BJS but the first 6 rounds of the first fight looked like Eubank forgot he had to fight to win rounds. The advice from Eubank Snr at ringside was bizarre too. The rest of the fight was BJS hanging on for dear life but he blames that on fitness So you never know what a rematch would be like

I tend to agree with him. I think Groves isn't capable of beating Eubank Jr unless Eubank Jr just is lax defensively & gets caught with something. And I'd favor BJS to beat Eubank Jr as long as BJS is motivated. BJS is the spoiler at 160. He can beat anyone in that division on his best day...the problem is he isn't a fan of showing up at his best. I do think Eubank Jr vs BJS would be a competitive & close fight if it were to take place this year sometime, but I'd lean BJS's way.

Lets not forget that was Lemieux doe. I mean he don't suck or anything & it was a masterful performance by BJS, but lets not have a BJS parade over it cuz Lemieux is a solvable opponent who's pretty limited. The hype Lemieux's gotten doesn't change the basic realities of his skill level & degree of difficulty.

I think BJS vs Eubank Jr is a much more competitive fight that will be won or lost on a couple rounds going this way or that way.

I think there is more of a skill gap now than when they fought.....and the stamina and conditioning has got closer. I think BJS would embarrass Eubank again, but would not fade down the stretch. BJS has improved more in 6 months than Eubank has since that fight.

Idk about that. I think Eubank Jr has improved more than BJS since their first fight, but I do think BJS is still the more skilled fighter. BJS's biggest problem is his f#cking self like I've said numerous times, & with his traveler homeboy Tyson Fury. Both are incredible talents, but neglect that talent on a regular basis & both will likely come up short on their ceiling in boxing due to how lacking they've been. I don't think either will age well in boxing too so these two are aging 20 months every year probably vs other cats in the game.

And I definitely didn't see Eubank Jr get embarrassed in their first fight. It was a tight fight & idk that anyone could complain if it had went the other way.

Also good luck "believing" in BJS coming in shape or not running out of gas for any particular fight. You probably got more faith in him than his mom if thats true. I'm a BJS fan, but BJS makes being a BJS fan far more dramatic then it needs to be & if you think BJS won't show up in bad shape for a future fight (vs Eubank, GGG or whoever) I got a bridge to sell you.
