Well, that might change a few opinions

[jameswilson]

Yeah good shot and a very good win.

Still not totally sold.

[ThereByTheGrace]

Well done Saunders, cracking shot.

[jameswilson]

Blandamura seemed to have his mouth open when the shot landed and that just amplifies everything.

[Boxerbeetle]

Can't see Saunders going much above this level tho.

[Boxing Prospect]

Well, that might change a few opinions

Not really. He landed a peach for sure but...he can't hope to be bailed out like that every time he's having problems...a harder puncher than Blandamura would have had him in trouble.

[lefty]

Always nice to see good sportsmanship at the end.

[ShadrachSimmo]

Outside shout on a Dq? He ran through the ref to throw 2 punches on his opponent.

Quillin would put him up queer street I think.

Ring rust and against an awkward opponent - never going to look good

[crusader]

Yeah good shot and a very good win.

Would others agree that it was a very good win? By most accounts it seems like BJS was really struggling...

[lefty]

LOL BJS on the mike.

Yeah but ive felt that way about him for awhile.

Why shouldn't you be, a big shot saved him as the fight looked like it was slipping away. Eubank jnr vrs BJS anyone?

[Taansend]

Me too, mate. Seems boxing 'fans' these days have to dislike half the people involved in the sport to be 'real'.

Why is fans in quotes? Pretty ridiculous to question whether someone is a fan just because they dislike Bunce, if that's what you're suggesting.

And have you seen how he treated people here when he posted? He was very arrogant and condescending.[/quote]

I never put fans in quotes because they dislike Bunce, Mr Crusader. My point was that so many 'fans' nowadays think they need to dislike certain aspects of boxing because it gives them credibility. I don't like watching Floyd or Wlad as their styles bore me (I liked them both early on in their careers) but I won't call them names or slag them off. I'm from an older generation though & I realise that boxing is more like football now where you pick sides.

And I can see how you think Bunce was arrogant. Fair point. I saw it as passionate but it's swings and roundabouts.

But my post was about people feeling the need to slag off boxing people because they think it gives them credibility.

[milpool]

If this was on Sky they'd be having kittens with BJS' gutter language!

[rossij8]

LOL BJS on the mike.

"Euwank Junior" hahaha

It was a great shot but against the likes of Quillin, Korobov, even Eubank Jnr I think you're gonna need more than that.

[Manchester Hitman]

Forget all talk of Peter Quillon that will be a Step to far at least for a while anyway- I want to see BJS v Eubank before the end of the year. Perhaps if we're going to be subjected to this Chisora - Fury nonsense again then if this was the chief support then I would get behind it

[crusader]

So was this just a tougher than expected bout in which Blandamura had his moments despite BJS generally being in control? Or was Blandamura right there with/ahead of him?

I think BJS was pretty much in control on the whole and in the majority of the rounds had the edge but Blandamura wasnt completely out of the fight.

Yeah that would be a superb top 2 on the bill and would surely pull a hell of a crowd.

[ShadrachSimmo]

Saunders doesn't need him. He's well above Euwank jnr.

But he clearly wants it basically because he doesn't like him.

Be good to see. Doubt Fwank wants it though.

I see. Reading the posts here and seeing Detroit's score on the other forum made me think that BJS was really struggling.
