Saunders surprised me with the Lee win. I felt Lee held back a little. But at the end of the day, not really sure if Lee pulled the fight because he didn't want to even discuss the possibility of fighting GGG. Stranger things have happened.
But, Eubank/Saunders rematch? Saunders may not give him one, and why should he? lol....
;D
Fuck Eubank, let him earn it. He's mandatory for a World Title , and he decides to sack his promoter and take a British title shot instead!
Mind you, according to Daddy, he would "beat Golovkin tomorrow."
Yeah, alright then.
:lol:

Saunders promised eubank a rematch after he won a title. So Saunders has his title so he should honour his word and offer the re match but don't see if happening if I'm honest, I think Saunders knows he will get beat and would rather get beaten by a bigger name than eubank jr.

Saunders said he would give him a rematch on his terms after he won a title.
I don't know if discussions have even been mentioned yet but I can see that being a massive sticking point given the size of JR's ego
Re: Eubank/Saunders rematch?
I think the rematch would be all Eubank, he started way to late in the first fight.

So what would Eubank do differently ? Why did he start so slow?
Maybe he started slow because he didn't have enough ringcraft to suss Saunders out?
If it happened again, the result would be the same.
Re: Eubank/Saunders rematch?
Genuine 50/50 fight for me. Push came to shove and I was given a free bet on either Id prob take Eunbank.

If it happens, and you give me even Money, I might have a bit for Saunders with you if you like. 😉
Genuinely think youll get bigger then evens on Saunders. Eubank is the popular selection here so will see money for him like we did in 1st fight. Id prob back Saunders at 5/4 or bigger.

Wow! Based on what you've said , I'll take a rain check on your generous offer, but thanks all the same. ;D
Now I'm hoping this fight comes off, because I can't see past Saunders, so I probably would take a punt on it.

He didn't have ANY experience, it was the first good boxer he had faced and he was able to hurt him repeatedly once he found a home for his shots. You could be right, but that wouldn't say much for Eubank. I feel like rematches usually go to the guy who was able to genuinely hurt their man the first time.
Re: Eubank/Saunders rematch?
I rewatched the fight a while back and I got the feeling that BJS got into a tear up because he wanted to, we all know that he has a few stamina issues but I think he felt like he had a point to prove so once he knew he had the rounds in the bag he went and traded.
it isn't as simple as that obviously but I've had a drink but that is what I got out of the re-watch anyway, first time round I thought that JR would have him quite easily in a rematch, after watching it again I'm not sure, plus I think for as powerful as JR looks I'm not sure about his power, the uppercuts he lands should be laying people out.
I back BJS in a rematch
