I think Saunders only wins on points, Fury will undoubtedly be a stoppage, but I am unsure as to who gets it! I think Chisora knocks Fury out tonight to be honest.

It's actually hilarious how much he's emulated his dad in style, especially as he looks nothing like him physically.

Also you have to love Sr in the corner with his suit on.

Eubank Sr standing behind his lad in the ring there, like something from a movie, him in his dark rimmed oblong glasses, and his lad posing, with that face he has which is.....ideal for posing.

[Zapater]

Eubank Sr was a great fighter, but he is one of a kind, definitely not someone you'd want to be copying stylistically. If he isn't made of the same stuff his son will struggle as he is now as he raises his level.

The first few rounds of this fight have already topped the whole event of that **** served up last week.

And with some ease it has to be said.

It is also a great pity as trying to copy that style really takes from some of the qualities that Jnr seems to have.


He has lovely quick hands, but trying to copy his dad's old style is adding that fraction of a second onto his delivery speed and against a savvy fighter like Saunders that is enough to allow for most of the punches to be slipped.

The copying of his dad's style seems to negate his power somewhat as well as he telegraphs his shots something rotton.

Would love to see him work his left jab properly, and then mix in that crisp right of his.

Am cracking up at senior when he steps into the ring between rounds.

Part of me thinks it is a clever way of taking the attention away from how his son is doing, and part of me thinks it is senior feeding his own ego. Most likely it is a bit of both.

[Doc_Piptorious]

Eubank had better hope that he lands some of those big shots, because he is burning a lot of energy with the rate he is throwing them

[Doc_Piptorious]

Is a fascinating clash though.

Eubank coming into it more now. But am enjoying watching the contrast between strong but somewhat naïve versus savvy and durable.

Definitely detrimental to him. If he had more of a Katsidis type style I think he'd be looking a lot better.

His jab is overly predictable and you can time it because he cocks his hand and loads up. Although it snaps the head back nicely. If he could be a bit more clever with it and used it more it could be an effective weapon. He definitely needs to work on his right hand.

His dad is hilarious in the corner, typical but gets me every time.

This fight is shaping up nicely though, Eubank getting some of these middle/later rounds. Still needs a knock down or two if he's going to get it, both are tired so anything can happen in the championship rounds.

I think Saunders is feeling these punches more than he's letting on. Both are knackered though.

Great shout.

What do we reckon 6-4 or 7-3?

Sure at 7-3 Eubank has to KO to win it?

[Doc_Piptorious]

6-4 for me

[ChesterDave]

Saunders will be thrilled its R11. Looks like he aint got much left
