BJS vs Avtandil Khurtsidze - will Saunders come in top shape to handle Khurtsidze ?

[boxing_rocks]

Incidentally, he better start training hard soon, because he's looking quite porky.

... especially for a guy who was supposed to face GGG in just 6 weeks.

Khurtsidze getting the "badass eastern european" treatment again... he's a solid guy, but if Eubank doesn't beat him, that old little guy doesn't either. Saunders isn't great, but he's no Douglas or Langford.

Reminds me to Zlaticanin thinking he could take out Mikey Garcia, and many people thought he would. We all know how it ended.

BJS is no Mikey Garcia, not anywhere close. Eubank didn't beat him, because he was mainly concerned about his theatrical performance instead of being effective. Besides, Eubank doesn't have a one-punch KO power of Khurt.

Very true, and Douglas/Langford are no Eubank Jr.

Might be Avakovs or Ryders though

[Thomastearns]

He has to, otherwise this much avoided man will get the showdown with that other much avoided man, GGG.

BJS is in a different class as a fighter but you've got to love AK's attitude.
