As for CEJ.. one thing everyone seemed to miss out on, even the Bunceman himself, was how emotionally worked up he got Liam Williams into.
The dude was HATING on him. CEJ was calm as a crab.
Hate leads to fear, fear leads to … said Yoda.
It led a 4 round ass whopping with a Jab mostly. CEJ cruised the rest, he was comfortable, in front. And at 32 why take any punishment he can avoid. ! Clever lad
Williams is well known for working himself up by hating on his opponents; Locket drew attention to it prior to Williams fighting Andrade ... Williams again worked himself up to a brittle mess again early on there which cost him early rounds .. Eubank just encouraged Williams to get himself into a worse state.
Lets be honest here. The jabs which put Williams down should never have bothered him - without them Eubank`s performance was not that good .. but of course those jabs did put Williams over.
I`d fancy BJS to have a lot easier night with Eubanks if they fought now. Aside from the 1 big punch and resulting eye damage, BJS didnt take a beating that puts wear on a career at 32.
Dunno where BJS is physically but when I saw him a few months ago he must’ve been a heavyweight. Getting chunky like that then losing it takes something away from you.
I’d go Eubank jr close decision.
Fight won’t happen as Saunders will want silly money.

Since the Williams fight Eubank has been called out by Benn a Welter and Saunders a SuperMiddle/Heavy.

Don't any Middleweights want to fight him?
He’s been waiting for an aged Golovkin for years now. Golovkin’s fight getting scrapped in December doesn’t help, nor do the rumours about Canelo vs Golovkin III.
I know Andrade is talking about moving up but that fight makes a lot of sense to both men.
Andrade picks up a good purse and it’s a fight both men will feel confident about winning.
Not the hardest fight to make; can’t see many major issues with Hearn and Wasserman and having it on dual networks.
Hearn caters for US market and it’s on Sky here.
I know he's been calling out Golovkin for the last five years, but my point was it's odd how no Middleweight is calling HIM out, so if he's unable to secure a big fight against a top middle will we be forced to endure either a pointless retread with Saunders or a novelty fight with Benn (with their tedious father's will no doubt dominating the build up) ?

Probably.
Thing is Eubank is a tricky nights’ work for anyone and he’s hard to look good against.
You either need to incentive of a high purse or a belt… which he doesn’t have.
Sauerland have been milking him and he’s lost so much time fighting pointless fight after pointless fight up the Williams fight… which was still just a domestic dust up.
He needs to roll the dice in the next 12 months or he’s leaving this game without ever holding a serious belt.

He's had a really weird career, he always seems to be on the verge of something big but it never seems to come off, and then he ends up fighting for some spurious IBO or WBA Interim nonsense.
He's never going to fight Golovkin, as he's commited to the Murata unification and then as you said a possible third fight with Canelo (which I don't really want to see) Andrade would have been perfect and they could have played up Eubank's arguably 'better' performance against Williams but he's bizarrely going for this WBO Interim at a higher weight against Parker.
He's not a young fighter anymore Eubank, and I agree if he doesn't make a mark soon his career will always be regarded as a disappointment.
