Saunders vs Eubank Jnr

[bzkfn]

Eubank is a middleweight not a super middle?

The heaviest he has weighed since turning pro is 164.

Saunders has had more fights weighing over 160 than Eubank has in total and has matched Eubanks heaviest.

Every time I've seen him on channel 5 he was billed as a Super-Middle. Upon checking this on boxrec, he hasn't weighed at the 160 limit once in his career yet. Degale also wanted to fight him, so I was fairly sure he was going to fight at Super-Middle. Maybe I'm wrong, because they also claim he is a Middleweight.

He wont weigh in at the middle limit until he has to for a title or to get ranked by fighting a ranked fighter at the weight.

There is no way that he is a super middle (yet) weighing 164 at his heaviest.

I have also found it odd that his dad has stated that DeGale is their target. They sparred and although both say they schooled the other, Eubank sr and jr must be confident enough with what they experienced that jr will handle him with some more experience.

Id like to see him in with some more experienced fighters like Pryce and soon, maybe only one then push for a Saunders fight. Seems the fashion recently for british rivals to fight each other early with Groves v DeGale and Cleverly v Bellew. Then look for some ex title challengers.
