To the knowledgeable British boxing fans on this forum, who wins?
Eubanks Junior
NM Already a thread on it and it looks pretty split on who wins. Good domestic fight.
You want me to merge this thread?
I think i will go with Eubank JR. He wont look as good as he has against his previous opponents but i think he has the tools to win.
Saunders on points.
I personally think Eubank will win. I also think he will probably look a bit mediocre for the first few rounds until Saunders skill level which isnt that great cant compensate any more for his lack of power and strength. I think it could even be a draw, with it being a Warren fighter vying for a WBO challenge and eubank taking a while to get in to it. Eubank will be made to think for the first time and as good as he has been in sparring, being strong and competative in sparring isnt quite the same as trying to out point someone where every punch landed against you and the outcome counts.
Im actually surprised at the massive swing in favour to Eubank now from his first few fights where alot in here were saying he had no power and wasnt very good. Hes gone from this and really proving himself against no one to being not only competative but favoured to win over the former Olympian, undefeated holder of the British, Commonwealth and European belts.
Its Eubanks unproven promise against Saunders lack of strength and stamina.
I still think Eubank wins
So who you picking?Quote:

Probably a bit messy, will be a scrap no doubt.
I think Saunders had peaked a little, where as I think there is still a way to go for Eubank. I think Saunders has some 'ready made' quirks given his amateur back ground and southpaw style but of they were to have a rematch I feel Eubank would have learned enough by then to make the fighter less competitive.
Can't rule out a dodgy Warren decision though. So expect Saunders to get the nod this time around.
