    From what iv seen of Saunders in his last fight, hes in the wrong division and Eubank is getting better all the time.

    Put it this way, Eubank fought and beat Bradley Pryce after just a year as a pro! It took Saunders over 3 years to get to that level! There was only a few months separating Saunders and Eubank fighting Pryce.

    Eubank wins. Hes learning more and has more balls.

    Eubank looked class while handling Pryce.

    Remember, Eubank is a pro of just 1 year in this fight. Saunders has plateued and unless he drops down a weight I dont see him going much further. In fact hes the perfect name to have as another win at this stage of Eubanks career.

    You know what, your right about that.

    I think I'm a bit rose tinted towards Saunders as I've followed his career from amateurs and really thought he had something special about him.

    He has a gypsy boxing background, so I'm sure he has the balls to dig deep if needed. The hand injury he had set him back a bit I suppose.

    I think Saunders will take him. Am I the only one who is totally unimpressed with Eubank Jr?

    Eubank has skills, hes still not had 10 fights yet, and is only just a year in to his career, not many amteur and is getting better all the time. When you campare the 2 in their fights against Pryce, its Eubank who had the easier time and had more strength.

    I think Eubank should push for this fight. A nice profile lifting domestic money earner and do a few rounds against an experienced lad. Sanders last fight he looked as though he was going to get stopped, hes not that good.

    I think it would be a close fight that either could win. I'd be very surprised if it happened this early in their Carrara but would be delighted if it did

    Saunders was 3 years in to his pro "carrara" when he fought. Bradley Pryce, his best opponent to date. Eubank fought him with less than 10 fights and just a year in to his own "carrara" and beat Pryce easier.

    Its not until I looked at those stats and what clips are available of the Pryce fights that I actually thought Eubank could go somewhere. People rave about Saunders and here is a young novice who is doing things better. Either Saunders is massively overhyped or Eubank is genuine class.

    I'm not sold on Saunders, I don't rate him have a feeling Eubank stops him in 6 rounds or so.

    Saunders is overrated. I'd also like to point out that Eubank fights at 168 and Saunders fights at 160. Given that Pryce is a 154 fighter really, you can see why he'd look a little more sluggish at 168 than 160. Really, I don't think this is Saunders best victory either. Neil Blackwell, Saunders last fight, was a much tougher opponent IMO. Pryce hasn't been the same fighter he was for years.
