It's a complete mismatch on paper. However, watching them last night, if they fought next week I'd probably pick Jr to win, even though the gulf between their opponents was obvious. It's nuts. Style over substance.

The pricks (I don't mean the boxers) obviously wont make this fight anytime soon, and quite frankly Jr doesn't deserve it, but they should. At the very least Jr's old man needs to stop fucking about and make a serious fight.

Saunders doesn't want any part of Eubank. Not the Eubank I saw on television last night. Saunders may want to back away from those threats.

Eubank has developed some power now to go with his speed. The punch accuracy and punch output is something Saunders will be swarmed with- no doubt Eubank has a decent chin, plus he moves and counter-punches effectively.

Saunders may have bitten off more than he can chew.
