Eubank/Saunders rematch?

[Primo Carnera]

I think the rematch would be all Eubank, he started way to late in the first fight.

So what would Eubank do differently ? Why did he start so slow?
Maybe he started slow because he didn't have enough ringcraft to suss Saunders out?
If it happened again, the result would be the same.

Agreed.

Saunders is good

Genuine 50/50 fight for me. Push came to shove and I was given a free bet on either Id prob take Eunbank.

If it happens, and you give me even Money, I might have a bit for Saunders with you if you like. 😉

Genuinely think youll get bigger then evens on Saunders. Eubank is the popular selection here so will see money for him like we did in 1st fight. Id prob back Saunders at 5/4 or bigger.

Wow! Based on what you've said , I'll take a rain check on your generous offer, but thanks all the same.
Now I'm hoping this fight comes off, because I can't see past Saunders, so I probably would take a punt on it.

He didn't have ANY experience, it was the first good boxer he had faced and he was able to hurt him repeatedly once he found a home for his shots. You could be right, but that wouldn't say much for Eubank. I feel like rematches usually go to the guy who was able to genuinely hurt their man the first time.

I rewatched the fight a while back and I got the feeling that BJS got into a tear up because he wanted to, we all know that he has a few stamina issues but I think he felt like he had a point to prove so once he knew he had the rounds in the bag he went and traded.

it isn't as simple as that obviously but I've had a drink but that is what I got out of the re-watch anyway, first time round I thought that JR would have him quite easily in a rematch, after watching it again I'm not sure, plus I think for as powerful as JR looks I'm not sure about his power, the uppercuts he lands should be laying people out.

I back BJS in a rematch

I have decided that Saunders is overrated and I'm going to back him to lose by KO every time he fights, don't mind me

Yes he has more experience, but my point is he needs to do something better than he did in the first fight. Those first 6 rounds weren't a slow start , it was a "Boxing brain" thing.
He needs to find a way to get in range and land , maybe improved footwork . Those are things I haven't seen.
He was managing to land in the second half of the fights because he was fitter than Saunders, I'll give him that all day long.
My point is that Saunders is a good , but not brilliant fighter, but he was far too savvy for Eubank, so where does that put Eubank?
Answer. Not as good as him or many people think.

You're probably right, and I kind of wasn't factoring in the two being the same age. Even still, there are no good fighters in England, they all bums! I got milk baby!

Eubank is better now as he has gone the distance and that experience will give him extra confidence in the rematch.

Saunders will be better because he is now champion and will pace himself better.
