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?
