    What Eubank can take from this is he has all the natural tools, attributes and ability to improve with experience. He hurt Saunders frequently, no one else has but thats not saying much as Saunders hasn't done much himself yet. He took some flush shots and was never really hurt. Saunders is fooling himself he had Cjris on wobbly legs in the second.

    Eubank can get better. He's gone from fighting journeymen to fighting the defending British, Commonwealth and European champ and one judge had him a winner.

    Saunders will also benefit from this. Hopefully he wins the WBO and hopefully Warren sniffs the big money rematch before Saunders fucks it up by losing to someone else and we get a rematch. Chrishas more room for improvement. If he had started putting the punches together and the pressure 5 rounds earlier I believe there would be no debate now because Saunders would have been stopped.

    Don't forget this was a fitter, better prepared fighter than those mythical, amazing, british, undefeated fighters faced

    So what were his tactics and reasons then for not putting pressure on him earlier ?

    Im not sure. I was frustrated watching those first few rounds. I think he thought he would take him out easy. Saunders was very cautious. Its credit to Eubank that he adapted and chased Saunders down and had him rattling all over the shop nearly stopping him in the 12th when all the experts logic said Eubanks stamina would be shit and Saunders would be top notch because some british level fighters extended him.

    Eubank will learn now to just let the punches go and work rather than try and load up.

    Many people thought John Ryder beat Saunders. That's what jr needs now, to prove himself against the British/Irish guys that Billy Joe beat on the way up - Spike O'Sullivan or John Ryder would be great fights for him after he's got his confidence back with a few "gimmes."

    Are you confusing Eubank with someone else?

    Confidence builders?

    He's just battered about the British, Commonwealth and European champion. He gave him a much tougher fight than anyone he's already faced, finished the fight stronger and actually had a judge declare him the winner.

    If anything, this fight will have been a confidence booster. He may have had reservations of how he'd cope over 12. He nows knows he can do it better than some champions.

    Its Saunders that will now need a confidence booster. How can he challenge and beat a world title holder if he struggles so badly after his special training camp and being in the best shape of his life with a novice who's fought no one and not been to the Olympics?
