Strengths for Each Man
Billy Joe Saunders
Billy Joe Saunders is an extremely talented fighter with a lot of quality attributes, but his constant movement has to be one of his greatest assets.
Saunders’ ability to evade shots while coming back with scoring counters is extremely impressive, forcing his opponents to become more and more frustrated as the rounds go on.
The Hertfordshire fighter isn’t the hardest of punchers in the division, however he can box circles around his opposition, inevitably breaking their heart.
The extensive amateur pedigree behind Saunders has stood him in good stead in the pro ranks and if he can use that elusive footwork, to pick off the inexperienced Eubank Jr., then it could be a very successful night indeed for the reigning British, Commonwealth and European Middleweight king.
Chris Eubank Jr.
Following in the footsteps of his eccentric father, Chris Eubank Jr. is without doubt a carbon copy of his dad. The showboating along with the explosiveness seems to be in the Eubank DNA, yet it does divide opinion, as fans despise the cocksure attitude.
Behind that exterior though there is a talented fighter, who has shown that he has the potential to go far. Unfortunately, we haven’t seen enough of Eubank Jr. to suggest how far he will go.
Still, the 25 year old has proved that he packs a punch and with his very fast hands. Eubank Jr. could be a recipe for disaster for any fighter, not just Saunders. Also, he seems to be very capable of prolonging a sustained attack of power shots, so if Billy Joe is not on top form on Saturday, he could find himself conquered.
