Billy joe saunders's shape
Anyone seen that picture of him floating about on his twitter account? He looks in the best shape ive ever seen him to be fair.
Re: Billy joe saunders's shape
I've not seen it however I've never took him to be very well made before so wouldn't take much to improve.
Re: Billy joe saunders's shape
He actually looks pretty 'ripped' in this pic. 6 pack and all. Dont think ive ever seen him look in that type of shape before.Tomasino wrote:I've not seen it however I've never took him to be very well made before so wouldn't take much to improve.
Re: Billy joe saunders's shape
He's taking this more seriously and moved away from his kids for a while which is the first time he has done this.
I think he steam rolls Eubank Jr in 6 he's not been hit back since he fought Pryce it's going to be a huge shock to him.

Re: Billy joe saunders's shape
Really starting to edge towards Billy Joe Saunders now. Think he might just be too experienced.

I've always leaned towards BJS; but have felt he looked rather un athletic for a middle. This sounds positive.broomy7s wrote:Really starting to edge towards Billy Joe Saunders now. Think he might just be too experienced.
You can get 1.8 still on BJS, a good value price.
The main worry is, will Eubank pull out?
Re: Billy joe saunders's shapers
He's got through his warm up fight unscathed and in the sparring video that went up earlier this week he was wearing a full face head guard, so cuts shouldn't be an issue. The only way for him to pull out now would be an injury in training and I can guarantee Warren and Saunders would want proof of the injury from a doctor, otherwise they'd take the Eubanks to the cleaners in the courts. The closer it gets the more I feel the fight will happen, still not 100% convinced, but he's only got 12 days left to pull out.reggaereggae wrote:I've always leaned towards BJS; but have felt he looked rather un athletic for a middle.

Good points. Allegedly is not a promoter to fvck about. I'm just concerned about the press no shows.expe wrote:He's got through his warm up fight unscathed and in the sparring video that went up earlier this week he was wearing a full face head guard, so cuts shouldn't be an issue.

Re: Billy joe saunders's shape
It will come down to if Eubank will be at the two schedule press conferences during the week. we will find out a week tomorrow.

I think that's more Senior trying to wind them up and play mind games, although I don't think he's the best at them, Collins did him completely with the hypnotist story.reggaereggae wrote:Good points.

Here's a link to Saunders's twitter account. If you scroll down the page you'll see the pic in question. Maybe im over selling it but he looks in the best shape i can remember seeing him in anyway https://twitter.com/bjsaunders_

I have to admit he does look in fantastic shape.... A real contender to John Holmes' title

Eubank jr not looking particularly impressive in recent sparring. His legs are so thin too.

Eubank jnr sparring a light heavyweight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CI4NLIwxX8
Re: Billy joe saunders's shape
BJS is in decent nick there. Bodyfat percentage looks lower than normal but a touch of muscle also looks lost to me, possibly actually over trained or under eaten?

Re: Billy joe saunders's shape
Eubank is going to do a job on him -clean him out anywhere after 6 rounds
Re: Billy joe saunders's shape
Going on the pic you put up you know what you're talking about (no sarcasm) .... what do you think his BF % is roughly there?tobyh5 wrote:BJS is in decent nick there.

Re: Billy joe saunders's shape
He looks about 8 per cent to me but I am notorious for overcooking BF's percentages and being overly harsh (or I think more like being realistic)
He looks in good shape though and being close to weight as you imagine he must be there will help him as he will not have to starve himself into fight week. Really looking forward to this fight and hope BJS gives him a right good hiding

Re: Billy joe saunders's shape
He looks tiny in that photo. More like a welter than a middleweight.
Re: Billy joe saunders's shape
This is going to come down to whether Jnr has the drive and desire that his dad had. We know how good BJS is already, and that's decent, but not a world beater. Jnr looks to me like he has the tools, but so far we've not seen him pushed. BJ might not be Hagler, but he'll be trying hard to win. I'm expecting to see Jnr outbox him early, BJS to push harder in the middle rounds, and Eubank to get the stoppage around 9.
Re: Billy joe saunders's shape
You know what ? I'm emotionally detached from both of these guys for this one - I'm chuffed both are seemingly up for it and are training like its Mayweather in the opposite corner.
I personally don't see a KO here, but maybe 116-113 type final score.

Re: Billy joe saunders's shape
No offense but its hardly breaking news that a boxer has a 6 pack

Re: Billy joe saunders's shape
It is when said boxer hasn't been seen with one for the duration of his career.
BJS always looked "soft" at MW to me and I always felt he would be better suited to LMW. Nice to see he's in really good nick for this. Roll on next week!
