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.
Seriously? Why because he got hit in the arm by an Albanian taxi driver ? Eubank Sr and Jr are so full of shit that you could probably cover a couple acres with one answer to a pundits question. Take some sacks to a news conference and the the pair could probably cover half of Somerset. Generally in order to have your claims of being the best boxer in any Division on the planet taken seriously it's probably a good idea to not only have fought people with belts, but to also then take them off them impressively, and not rely on beating up somebody who probably wears braces outside of the ring, and has velcro shoes because the skill level required for laces is beyond them.

Saunders has the British, European and Commonwealth belts and even if world level proves to be too much a step up for him has already achieved much more IN THE RING than Cwis Jr ,whatever his utterly classless, clueless, chavvy cunt of a dad may tell you.
