Saunders is just another loathsome example of this banter culture we have going on at the moment, humiliate somebody but when somebody calls you out on it you try and defend yourself by saying you were just having a laugh and making yourself the victim.

The old "crybully" bullshit

He beat Jr?

He had a very close split points victory against a novice Eubank Jr,after all the cheap talk from Saunders pre fight getting the 'win' isn't the great easy victory he still claims it was.

I didn’t see it that way. BJS played with him. Bit of fitness got JR through.

BJS won narrowly, that was the right decision, sharp first half but hard to give him much at all in the second half, really slowed and was getting pushed around while not really doing much of his own, 115-113/115-114 bjs was about right. The Ryder fight was similar, started well but then got tougher and tougher, for a narrow win in the end


the one I thought people had too close was the Lee fight, personally thought BJS won that like 117-109, never saw it as a 114-112 /113-113 type as it mostly got scored

i had akakov a draw, that's the one where I thought BJS got a bit lucky

BJS scraped past Eubank jnr and didn't look good. Eubank Jnr handed him the early rounds and unfortunately doubted his stamina for the later rounds. It was a step up for Eubank jnr at the time and he came up just a bit short.

The main reason I'd like to see BJS banned is so the boxing world doesn't have to endure any more of his tediously dull performances.

That's like saying ' a bit of boxing ability got Saunders through'.I don't recall any outcry with the judging at the time,didn't hear anyone say Saunders won easy,many in fact were saying it could have gone either way.

Yep, I think it could have gone either way, but it was a fair decision.

Actually i think Eubank won their fight back in 2014. I dislike both of them but at least Eubank is entertaining to watch in ring. Him vs Canelo would be fun fight

No mention of the Lemieux fight? Let me just change that now. BJS can really fight, he‘s top tier. He hasn’t always turned up in the best shape. But when he does...

One memorable win for a 'double world champion' is clutching at straws a bit don't you think ? not like Lemieux was a world beater,Saunders was his 4 defeat.

Lemieux’s team messed up that fight. The ring for that fight was huge.. gave BJS plenty of room to use all the space he needed.

That was a good win for BJS because Lemieux can turn out the lights of any one, given the opportunity, and BJS made sure he never gave him a chance.

That said, because of the way BJS fights the fight was devoid of many highlights and the B0x nation team got on my wick leaping to BJS's defence saying 'he didn't run, he moved'....he did do a lot of running in my book.

Hardly anyone wants to see a pickpocket in world championship fights.

Lemieux isn't very good

He is a power puncher,take that away and he's ordinary.

yes but not clumsy

Not as dynamic, athletic or dangerously fast as the long, rangey, swinging Wilder

But he does have that explosive power from the first bell until the last. He's a hard man to beat because one mistake and you're on the floor.

Having met and chatted to CEJ I’ll say him. He was very decent.

He comes across much better than BJS anyway.

Jnr always comes across as bright and respectful to me, ok he thinks he’s better than he is but you have to in order to make it in this game. BJS is a div.

Saunders is the better boxer of the two, but he's also the one you'd rather see get run over by a bus going 80 miles an hour.

Eubank Jr. is a lot more tolerable.

neither of them are worth the steam off my piss frankly .

both got big gobs and both have beaten nobody of note .

wankers

Lemieux is a boxer of note, and some.

Eubank wins by an ants dicķ

That made me chuckle. True though.
