Chris Eubank Jr

Billy Joe Saunders takes the win but Eubank Jr is THE FUTURE

by

saunders5533By Gari Jones: In a real action packed fight both fighters gave the watching crowd and those at home a real treat. In a fight that showed tremendous courage, heart and stamina Billy Joe Saunders W21/KO11/L0 took the split decision over Chris Eubank Jr W18/KO13/L1 in a closely fought contest that I feel went the right way.

Billy Joe Saunders showed an impressive array of skills in his fight with Eubank Jr, the jab was effective, he boxed at range and made Eubank Jr miss only to follow with a counter strike. This trend continued for the first six rounds and many people scoring the fight had Saunders up 5-1 or 4-2 by then. This is where I feel Eubank Jr had the fight lost. Despite coming on much stronger in the later stages by then he was behind on the scorecards. And that was the deciding factor of this fight.

Does Chris Jr need a new trainer? Eubank on it!

saunders6555By jochef: Last Saturday night at the Excel arena, London, UK, we saw Chris Eubank Jr (18-1-13 KO’s) go head to head with Billy Joe Saunders (21-0-11 Ko’s) for the British, commonwealth and European middleweight titles and possibly the chance to be the next in line for the WBO Word title which will be contested by Matt Korobov and Andy Lee.

Whether or not Eubank Jr deserved the shot is debatable, but one thing that’s not debatable is the fact that the fight was one that had both casual and hardcore fans both excited and divided in opinion, I felt before the fight that Saunders would have to much for Eubank Jr with his superior footwork and work rate and also his experience at going the 12 round distance, but actually what probably won him the fight in the end was the good instructions he was receiving from his corner and the lack of instruction Eubank Jr was receiving from his.

Saunders interested in rematch with Eubank Jr

by

saunders1By Scott Gilfoid: After winning a close and controversial 12 round split decision last Saturday night over Chris Eubank Jr (18-1, 13 KOs), Billy Joe Saunders (21-0, 11 KOs) says he would be interested in a rematch in the near future.

Saunders will first be looking to face the winner of the December 13th fight between Andy Lee and Matt Korobov for the WBO middleweight strap. If things go well for Saunders, he would then possibly face Eubank Jr in a rematch.

Eubank Jr: Saunders is going to be in serious trouble on November 29th

by

eubank55555By Scott Gilfoid: #9 WBO Chris Eubank Jr (18-0, 13 KOs) plans on giving #2 WBO Billy Joe Saunders (20-0, 11 KOs) a beating on November 29th to take his British and European middleweight straps when they face each other at the ExCel Arena in London, UK. Eubank Jr, 25, wants to shut Saunders’ trap, because he’s been talking a lot of trash about him, and he wants to expose him and make him eat his words.

Eubank Jr also wants to send Saunders into a permanent retirement, because Saunders has been talking about retiring if he loses the fight. No one knows for sure if Saunders is just blabbering just to get attention or if he’s indeed serious about retiring if he tastes defeat for the first time.

Eubank Jr destroys Siala

by

eubank666By Scott Gilfoid: Undefeated #9 WBO middleweight contender Chris Eubank Jr (18-0, 11 KOs) locked himself in for a title shot against #2 WBO Billy Joe Saunders by stopping journeyman Omar Siala (23-18-3, 10 KOs) by a 2nd round knockout on Saturday night at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, UK.

Eubank Jr hurt Siala with a big right uppercut that drove him to the ropes. Eubank Jr then flurried on the over-matched Siala until the referee Alvin Finch halted the fight at 1:15 of the round. Siala was doing a good job of covering up and weathering the storm, but Finch obviously saw it as a situation where the guy was in distress. At the time of the stoppage, Siala’s faced was reddened by the numerous shots he’d eaten. He had a small cut under his left eye and nose was bleeding slightly.

Saunders in tough against Eubank Jr

by

saunders56235By Daven: Earlier today, a watershed moment transpired, it marked the first direct verbal spar between Billy Joe Saunders and Chris Eubank Jr. It happened at the Talk-sport Studio. In essence Saunders began frantically berating his opponent, without allowing a retort, he aggressively demanded that Chris comply with his lurid stipulation that the loser pay out £100,000.

Why does a professional fighter feel the need to make such a crude request? Billy is being handsomely paid to fight and he should focus on that alone. However, rather than rising to the bait, Chris sensibly laughed off the ignorant remarks and referred to Billy as a “kid” who is out of his depth.

Eubank Jr ready to end Saunders’ career

by

eubank56By Scott Gilfoid: European Boxing Union middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders (20-0, 11 KOs) recently said that he’ll hang up the gloves if he loses his next fight to #15 WBO Chris Eubank Jr (17-0, 12 KOs) on November 29th at the ExCel Arena in London, UK.

Eubank Jr, 25, plans on testing Saunders’ word by beating him and then seeing if he will actually retire or not. If Saunders doesn’t retire, then it just means that he was flapping his gums without meaning what he was saying.

Saunders: I’ll retire from boxing if I lose to Chris Eubank Jr

by

saunders67By Scott Gilfoid: #2 WBO, #4 WBC, #8 IBF, #12 WBA middleweight contender Billy Joe Saunders (20-0, 11 KOs) says he’s going to retire from boxing if he loses to #15 WBO Chris Eubank Jr (17-0, 12 KOs) in their grudge match next month on November 29th at the ExCel Arena, Dockland, in London, United Kingdom.

Saunders, 25, seems to take it as insult if he gets beaten by Eubank Jr for some reason. It’s hard to understand why though because Saunders has yet to cut his teeth on the true top tier of the middleweight division so it shouldn’t be a surprise if he gets beaten by one of the fringe level contenders like Eubank Jr.
