I think BJS should have the skill to outbox him and stay out of enough trouble to win a decision

If BJS is in top condition he should be able to squeeze a points victory at home, just like NDam did. Billy is lot better technically then Langford and also is lot durable. He wont get KOed with one punch. He can be broken down though and stopped late.

BJS was visibly irritated that he has to fight Khurtsidze after all, even after he payed him a step aside money. He better get use to the idea and get ready.

I am looking forward to a press conference. :D

It seems it started already:

I hope Khurtsidze finally dethrones the worst world champion in boxing.

BJS dropping some rounds (needs to drop some pounds it seems!) and fading late seems more likely than a shutout to me....

I figure that it will be similar to Khurt's fight with N'dam, with BJS winning a bit more comfortably. BJS has some nice skills and is definitely better than Langford, but he can't seem to dominate guys at Khurt's level.

In that shape he'd lose to anyone even half decent, the worst shape I've ever seen someone in a world title fight in.

Hold me back! :lol: never seen the other guy fight but he looks like a hard little fooker :lol: Small though 5"4 think Billy will out point him as long as he's fight ready.

Is he usually this chubby? Aside from his last fight, I dont recall him looking like this 2 months out, and he certainly didnt for his title winning fight.

Hes got some nice overhang going on....

I'm a 48 year old piss head who drinks a lot of IPA's and my body is very similar to Billy Joe's.

I've never been so proud :OhYes:

BJS and his 'crew' auditioning for the least intimidating entourage in boxing? :lol:

Not much resistance there if he wanted to really get at him. Just trying to sell it

You'd probably be more use in the ring than BJS right now judged by those pictures. :-P

Saunders is pathetic. Hope Khurtsidze does him, so he doesn't get the payday v GGG.

Then he will regret turning down GGG for his bigg st purse by far last year.

If Saunders fights like he did v Akavov he will lose.

Billy just can't seem to help himself...constantly making himself look a right tit and some of his comments are just uncomfortable to listen too.

On the other hand I thought Khurtsidze handled himself well there and did not really react to Billy and his blazin squad.

I used to quite like BJS and thought some of his interviews pre-Eubank were amusing even if a little school boy basic insult level. However he just annoys me now. It is uncomfortable viewing and pretty pathetic and is starting to show that he is just a rude, dirty, bigoted, racist little homophobe. I cannot wait to see him plastered all over the floor and hope he does not get to the GGG pay off but instead someone like Khurtsidze does it at a leisure centre in front of 3,000. Added amusement would be if it happened on the same night that Eubank won a genuine world title at a sell out O2 with millions watching on PPV

I agree with all of the above emphatically. Except I would imagine the leisure centre only has 1500 punters.
