i'll pick Saunders, not sure how good Eubank is. Has looked good in patches but never got out of 1st gear.

Seemingly because his name's Eubank and his Dad thinks he can win. If his name was John Smith, the fight wouldn't even be going ahead because the board, EBU and WBO would refuse to sanction the fight. I struggle to see anything other than Saunders winning and comfortably, he should be far too good for Eubank, footwork's 10x better and he'll read Eubank Jr's telegraphed punches like a book, outwork him, outbox him and beat him up.

I'm going with Saunders winning by late stoppage but who knows if Eubank is good or not. He's looked great against 3rd rate opposition. How is he going to look in the 9th round when he's been jabbed silly for most of the fight?

Of course, he might just be all class & batter Saunders but I'm going with what I've seen so far rather than what might be.

Eubank looked pretty decent when sparring Froch. He may be too good for Saunders.

Just from watching both guys footage to be honest, just a strong gut feeling.

It's worrying for CEjnr that the best he's ever looked was in a sparring clip.

i think if saunders can time Eubank he'll beat ......Eubank is really athletic, good punch variety, but seems like he loses focus a bit

I'm backing Saunders but, Eubank jnr doesn't get invited to spar the likes of Froch etc for no reason. Although I am yet to be convinced, he must have something.

I'm guessing Billy Joe Saunders will fight on the back foot defence with a solid pocket traditional combination counter with medium power.

Saunders on points. Eubank is good sure but he hasn't shown he has what it takes to beat some of Saunders' calibre.

Just seen the weigh-in/face-off. Eubank looks both bigger and in much better condition. It's a tough one, i think i've seen the best of BJS, Eubank still feels unknown. I reckon i'm going to switch and go with Eubank, I'd like to think he has levels to go through and can get past BJS to world level.

Eubank Jr. looks good, I think his father is doing for him good. It's more attractive to move on maybe next oponent for Felix Sturm here because of his father.

Eubank looks to be the more powerful and larger of the two, Saunders looks to be the better skilled. 4 of Saunders last 6 opponents had undefeated records leading up their fight with Billy.

I've got Saunders.
