Saunders was slightly more experinced, had for the first time come to the scales looking like a boxer and had taken himself away on a training camp.
Had it been the Billy Joe who was turning up looking like a fat welter as he was in all his fights previous the. I think Eubank probably would have stopped him. The new fitness effort scraped him through that fight.
Conversely, had Saumders been in this shape and this focussed against Ryder the margin would have been much wider.
