Billy Joe Saunders vs. Chris Eubank Jr.: Preview and Prediction

The day of reckoning for warring Super Middleweights Billy Joe Saunders and Chris Eubank Jr is finally almost upon us. For both potential superstars, Saturday night’s battle goes way beyond the realms of a boxing ring, it’s become very personal.

Weaknesses for Each Man

Billy Joe Saunders

It is difficult to try and pin point a flaw in the game of Billy Joe Saunders, yet my only worry for him on Saturday is that if he chooses to abandon his very successful style to chase the Eubank Jr. knockout, then he could leave himself open and exposed for his heavy-handed rival.

This is very possible, due to the bad blood expressed by both men throughout the buildup. It’s quite conceivable that Saunders is taking the insults too personally, which could turn out to be a fatal mistake.

 

Chris Eubank Jr

There is no question that the junior enigma is explosive and very impressive when he does explode, but he is a very lazy fighter.

In one of his previous bouts, Eubank Jr. stood in one position throughout the entire first round, throwing only one punch. I am aware this is all a part of the show; still I am certain that Eubank Jr. will not get away with this against Saunders, who will expose that imperfection if he chooses to showboat and play up.
