Eubank Sr. the REASON...

[ykdadamaja]

Eubank Jr. lost last night. What in the world was he doing in the corner in the early rounds? WTH? What arrogance.... and dressed in a suit to boot? GTHOOH!!!

Eubank came on strong in the latter stages, but Saunders was already ahead on points and was in a position to lose a few rounds if he split from round 6 to 12, or even won 2 of the last 6 rounds.

Terrible strategy. Plus, Eubank looked taken aback by the spotlight just a little bit. Good win for Saunders, because I did not think he had it- but has more pedigree than I gave him credit for.

Eubank Jr. let that one slip away. He will regret it for the rest of his life. He had all the tools to win, but just started too late and wasn't working hard enough.

The Eubank from round 6 and on, if he had poured that on in round 2, at least, he would have won that easily if he had kept up the pressure.

But, like the other Chris, Algieri, his trainer didn't let him out of his cage early enough.

DISSAPOINTED IN THE EUBANK CLAN!!!

Why will he regret this for the rest of his life? If Saunders goes onto win a world title he will have only lost to a world class fighter in his first step up, and lost in a very close fight. Saunders has also said if he wins he will defent it against Eubank. By that logic Eubank has got himself into title contention without doing anything. Not much to regret there.

It's so weird being on a British boxing forum because these names get thrown around like they're relevant haha.

Hey, if your country gets this excited about two guys who aren't even top 20 in their divisions, good for you guys.

Relevant? Yeah, I guess if have nothing else to hang onto. I'm not really convinced that GGG, Cotto, Quillin, or hell, even Jermain Taylor are shaking in their boots because of these two bums.

Right I just watched that fight again with no sound and I honestly think the wrong guy won the fight. You obviously can't say it's a terrible decision because it was a close fight and a SD. Can some one please tell me what was Saunders best round ? I gave him 4 of the 1st 5 rounds but the 1st 5 rounds were very close Saunders might just of edged 4 of them but didn't see him dominate 1 single round last night, the rounds jr won were clear wins IMO of course. Also the 12th was a joke why did the ref jump in and give jr a telling off just as Saunders was in serious trouble ? Anyway seen the fight two times now and both times think eubank won but he was the challenger and there is that BS saying you got to rip the title from the champion but if there's a rematch I expect jr to be a big favourite

This is just stupid. What country's fans dont get excited when two of their prospects fight?

We have a very deep love and historic link with prizefighting in this country and the fact that you do not understand this shows that obviously in your own country, you do not. What kind of shallow and vacuous fan of a sport is only interested in the top echelon of fighters at world level? The Lonsdale, Common wealth and European belts are as interesting and valid reasons to match opponents as any of the other "world" trinkets and a case could be made to say that the British Lonsdale Belt outstrips in importance even these. Yesterday in successfully defending (and thereby winning the right to own) the Lonsdale belt for the third time Saunders made History in becoming the first traveller (gypsy) fighter to do so. Bearing in mind the huge part travelling booth and other bare knuckle fighters played in establishing the sport then that is a pretty significant event. Add to the mix the brash, cocky but untested son of an even more arrogant and eccentric former world class fighter and it is not difficult to see the appeal.

If you are so enamoured by America that you really think Quillen and Taylor are leagues above these two then you are simply deluded and grasping for reasons to once again slag off and dismiss this country. Calling them bums just confirms your ignorance.

I had 116-115 for Eubank.

But in no way would I say that Saunders did not deserve to win. It was a close fight, very close fight. Saunders amatuer pedigree got him through, he was pecking and poking and more accurate.

Eubank Jnr seemed obsessed with the uppercut but really good fight.

I smell Frank Warren's dirty little mits all over this. The excuse to downplay the Eubank loss was there prior- if he loses, he will have lost to a world class fighter.

Does anyone REALLY think that Saunders has a chance to beat any top MW out there- Golovkin, Murray, Koborov, Quillen or Cotto??

Eubank still has up to go, but he lost a fight when he did not need to. Eubank Sr. should stay out of his corner.

Saunders could beat Korobov who isnt that good. Murray would be a very close fight with Murray slight fav. Golovkin would destroy him. He could beat Quillin if he can handle his power. Cotto is an interesting fight but id say Cotto is too good for him but given his age and not being a natural MW it could be tough for him. Ive said for a while that I though Saunders was the best in England and that was a while back when Macklin, Barker and MUrray were all seen as a class ahead of him.

I see Macklin and Barker giving him a good scrap he may win on points. I see him being outpointed by Koborov, who is a far better boxer than Eubank.

I see him knocked out by everyone else you mentioned. Cold stopped!

Quillin was outboxed by Ndam and Rosado and neither are as good a boxer as Saunders. Korobov was poor in his last fight against a far lesser opponent then Saunders. Saunders would likely be fav against Lee and Lee isnt that big a dog v Korobov. He needs more fights at European level before making the step up to world level in my opinion but I do think he is capable of getting a world title
