of Jimi tips here we go one of the most eagerly anticipated fights of the year is you back gonna try and jump on Saunders from word go well they both got fast and delicate shaft obviously the policies were wide with the Dewback jr. for the better boxing skills we've seen Billy Joe lot of light mummy came onto Chris Eubank today started as a slight favorite I'm told about six to four against yesterday that big supports for you bank but if you're laughing saw this man over the job there we've been trying to fire through the right hand so this has been away training for this preparing for it in Spain arguably in the best shape of his life you back always looked in terrific shape doesn't he but there is that question he's never gone 12 rounds and there's just that question mark about whether or not he is able to fight for 3 minutes of around kind of like the same questions which were raised against his dad all those years ago yeah and maybe he has the same fortitude his father when he can't dig in when it went when he's going gets tough but 24 world title fights Chris Eubank senior hat remember they must hate for you back senior before he became champion by the time he finished cookies career still a controversial figure but I think more respected and lat you got made to miss and Saunders countering and that's what he won't get away [ __ ] again absorbers that's what he won't get away with religious orders they did with other points many over reaches and misses the Joe Vince will star will make him pay [Applause] so the shanks is had at you back now this is what you back once he wants to try and get in close and lakid physical strength towel he did nice to whip in an uppercut and he looks physically the much stronger now get up and put their phone on you van much bigger physically Chris Eubank both 25 years old [Applause] the Riva we had Billy on the ropes I think Billy down to be more punches on the road sentence and you banged the songs has certainly landed more punches in this opening round so far [Applause] oops I just got to remember the spinoff that he spins his right this almost you like trying to suggest there's a acquit in Billy Joe Saunders I think not apart from those couple of uppercuts on the rope you been doing not very much in that opening round Saunders had said one it did me bear for me he Johnny again he wasn't a massive difference between the two but yeah so honest Mandan most of the shots but you could see the physical strength video of you back when you had him on the ropes just bullying in with the shoulders before ounces I know and the other Kona precious little being said you just sit down when you sit down make sure you leg the bent and let go three [Music] well what do you make on that a bit of acting a bit of instruction as to how to best sit in the corner Ronnie Dimas and Kristen again in the corner she's really knowledgeable guys and the Trish seniors talking about make sure you've been delays when you sit down honey for the thoughts of Ronnie Davis and you could hear in the other corner a very different scenario as jimmy tips who has a strategy to win this fight and he'll not be wanting saunders to go toe to toe and he'll be pleased with what he's done so far so wonders the man with the amateur pedigree we're told that you bank has performed brilliantly in the gym good shot and that he's handled himself well against Carl Froch and against George Groves some people have even said that he had the better of Carl rocks sure that Karla degree spill again they're from tor there's one there nice that the jabs skipping up the way you gonna try the following I couldn't man with a clean shot well they both got fast hands but I think Billy's that soreness is the naturally faster go to eat the throw influency where maybe you back then we've got chef katsu you see there you got a rolled up with this is everything she had and let's not forget Billy Joe Saunders the southpaw how well will you banks cope with that that's another nice body shot from Saunders boxing him right now I'm just going to stick with the plan those honors if it's imperative with a big puncher like like Ewbank you can't get overconfident with any success you have otherwise you know they allow you to make you pay for it [Applause] a lot times in here but Gus captain some of the straightaway saying look I'm still here it's not early in a little nod for a new bank a shot partially blocked at the me [Applause] great balance who knew back candy juggs for me below waist level because guess where you overeat you feel any misses and asked us orders sure that is making him pay [Applause] Michael Alexander relatively inexperienced referees going to have to keep a real close check on this one I think especially when they saw a new Bank just so much physically much more stronger than them Saunders which means I think that you one should be trying to edge forward [Applause] we've done among these the sparrow attacks that Music's of jumps on an opponent there's nothing I'm so much success tonight doing that on each other at the bullies orders at the ropes at the corners at the moment he's just getting out jab his knees got it he's got it he's gotta fight more than is produced in the first two well the smile from you like the threat from you back Saunders reacts that smiles and threats don't win he rounds and he's not won that one no they don't don't even know he's he's making song as work I think it's a comfortable place for video solvers but then we've seen you back before do nothing and then explode Martian parsonage as an F trust no man came on that cross right no bare kidney right will be the kid inch neck heel back of his neck right right no big numbers on being control finger what you doin Johnny looking butcher certainly is looking good to round so far for Saunders thanks boxing smart he's not on the commit that he's not getting too too carried away with any successes have him he's keeping the keeping his head on his shoulders and as a sensible thing to do against a puncture like you've been Junior and interestingly in that you back corner Ronnie Davis the trainer presumably on instructions has not uttered a word thus far it's all been dazzling season anything he's not saying much [Applause] you think needs to do something to get Saunders out of his rhythm [Applause] [Applause] a slicker fighter than Chris Eubank has fought before at least in a professional contest the good sparring might be any fighter will tell you it's a different story when you get in there for real well he's fighting he's fighting they go for the first time he's not backing up too much away from you man they're usually wimp once when you go Junior threatened to attack the opponent runs away that's we've seen their last few fights in it he's not doing that but he's done it if anything trying to stalk him down lately well let's be honest a few of Eubanks opponents have been pretty shocking [Applause] and this is an altogether different scenario good job and again you back gets in with a body shot that is made to look a bit clumsy and easily stifled by towards Eubanks little ducks though and I think so obviously the right thing by keeping him down there pushing him down that's good job there from Eubank he saw Miss Havisham in the earth again the first solid shots he's landed in the fight so far okay he overcome it with that right hand brings out right foot forward does you banker nothing I can lead to a lot of trouble dad was similar didn't throw a great right and his dad used to a massive overhand right hands I think taught us to miss just to back you up to get a bit of a rest because she awakened adjusted me lately dance alone watching on YouTube so we're Lennox Lewis demonstrating how you're supposed to do it we have little one to their phone service on the road that's where the referee has to be firm has to be strong as good body shot from here trip yeah and I still stick and dip at the shoulder on the left shoulder coming back at the right uppercut thumbs up from Eubank last in the third round after a very tentative and at times clumsy sort of opening you back is finally managed to find a couple of shots which should reach the target a good shot good luck tantrum soreness best punch of the round you might learn another good shot as well you back would like nothing more than to have Saunders stand toe-to-toe with him and trade maybe there's a match outside and Billy Joe Saunders dude like to do it how do you score that one Barry Collison of the wrongful Saunders three nil on the Barry Jones gone don't you jump in she's run away good be patient King [ __ ] knee with AJ prem ratan across better kid in front of him okay that's what's known as a game plan and he's carrying it out fairly well yes he's keeping his head on the shoulders not getting carried away with anything and that's good you know he's moving around picking picking zorb concentration job but comes on the ball and he's being a bit concerned that like the Ewbank corner is concerned they should be because on our garden I suspect very strongly on the judges charts Billy Joe Saunders has won the first three rounds but I don't think Ewbank jr. came in here to win on points tonight but you should be using this for you but she rather didn't close he looks the fit he looks and he is the physical physical strong the guy in there so he needs the bully Saunders get everything looks throw around push him with the shoulders well he hasn't so far shown that he's got the speed of thought enabled and abling him to do that [Applause] to me you got fast hands you banquets everything's you got a 10 silver good Avenue we really gotta force it out the speed where the Saunders isn't it's a natural speed I know lots made about about the Eubank physique but it's kind of a a bodybuilder physique it's not strongly built like his father yeah he's not a bigger guy ever no sanas is not a big river but in these boxes we've been nice to follow John Rider and Lloyd and cope with that physical strength that's more like it needs to find more they may not have landed on the target but even on the arms he's gonna feel him gotta let the punches go you back the song as the landing and much tooks too bad is wrong either [Applause] so job there though for solvers you might set him up his knee to that uppercut brothers goof on Saunders and told to simply by Jimmy Tibbs one of the most experienced trainers in the game work off your drab and within that left cross it's good luck good writer and renew back no nice that level for there when I think just hit the chest do you think why connect on the chin its others okay some polar and outlook at Disney new baby see he's a hard puncher no question about it and as long as he's in there he's going to have that capability to take somebody out who needs to come out with a left hook and then a right hand again he said put his punches they're getting in combinations when he lands with the shot he has been a success it he's so used to seeing people wobble or back up or fall over when he hit so he's not used to let his hands go in the middle of the Ring solid jab for absorbed as you back walking straight into it quiet sort of round this one yes I just feel that at the moment it's wrong though I think science is just nicking again well he's out jabbing him is Nia that's the key [Applause] you bank starting to get a little frustrated you sense he's not doing enough to take rounds no not for me neither [Applause] it's impossible to [Applause] that's bad the words you maybe tell me Cassie let's let that power [Applause] come forward the underdog it's no question him up Ronnie Davis just looking up after it said that realizing that the microphone was there the old Fox will be just embarrassed by that I think but but you Maxine they're giving some solid advice they won't be in their jab you gotta put some pressure on him and it's what we've been saying John isn't it you use our physical strength he's got the power no question about it but he's not making it tell talking to cylinders trying to Godin trying to make him walk on to that big right hand Saunders surely too cute to respond I saw that coming from a mile off and makes you back miss [Applause] the saunas just got a switch after all old psychological games now he's in the ring this switch off to stick their plan [Applause] remember this is the fight Saunders said he would retire if he didn't win it he was talking about rounds five or six maybe that was what he was saying but it was i've only was saying this is the round you said you were going to take me cause we know that's gonna obviously happen but I think Saunders were learning Billie Joe Saunders was ever going to be looking to gun blasts do you bank out whatever he said well you would imagine you banker take a punch just genetically but his father has a tremendous chin sure he can look he even had added 10% of that he can take a good job I think I've seen too many fighters who could take a shot better than his dad no to spring to mind like Oliver McCall but you going cap we just had it absolute granite chin and again nothing happening is pretty scrappiness wrong slightly gonna read soda so far at me [Applause] you've been getting very frustrated in there not getting the opportunity to Latin clean shots you should be throwing saunders around the ring if he's physically strong enough which it looks like years to try and so glossy ruffle up certainly not rag dolling in at any stage in the manner in which he suggested he was going to this'll be the sort of time when you might see the physical strength telling but it's you bank who's walked back onto the ropes referee says don't use your head again with the jab there to saunders that's been a difference doesn't in so far tonight bruising on the cheek of the you bank worries had to take a few shots particularly the jab that saunders there's been a bit of a scrap yard and there no-one landings anything really it's kind of a nothing round this all boring [Applause] still no clear shots just going to be a level roundup ya are gonna give it the song there's even like giving all the others I just think this jab was the only yearning Prince that was really landing hard to make an argument for you it's got the mini stretch it's down there cutlets on down it's just part of the target to do it other than that he's getting desperate now the scheme desperate yep so just watch he's lunging but when he lunges Jamie's outcome for the left cross right Michael John thanks fresh air saying his weeded bar he's getting desperate yeah and what they're saying phone when he reaches with the closest he's awkward to get hit Saunders clearly ahead on points as we move into the six what is you back gonna do about this at the moment his technique is looking inferior yeah but the only did he says he's has when he's stolen the jab his mission is Tolaga like a polo uppercut avonlea with the right hands in the mid gesture as Saunders has the only real success in his head tonight [Applause] talk of in being the new Mayweather and the new Tyson we've heard that something that's a low shots referee didn't call it certainly looked as though it was very least borderline I thought it was below the waist but she's better than you back he needs to do more of this still find it hard to find the close shot releases come on good that took a left over cut there from you back police is coming forward throwing punches John making an effort and four means give away from the first five rounds [Applause] as long as I want to be a mechanical things the world [Applause] he's the physically strong you think that he's the one who's holding on approach [Applause] Saunders fans happy with what they're seeing again you bank talking to Saunders trying to goad him trying to drag him in what you banker wanting to do to come in and try and build we never get around to that even to one two three scoring jobs [Applause] can sustain an attack with me no the been sustained Merkel kind of a ton of attention which seemed to consume him in the early rounds of this time Saunders is the one who can't land the view back using the ropes well to stay away and so on has been welcomed it that's why that's why you can land the one committed with the shots to light but good natural mover those from Tim you back on the road showing some good skills he can do that going forward [Applause] this is what you're going to do is in quotes his oldest trading and tying you back up using his experience well pity's a tough kid is nice oh you know he's gonna fire back in t record but around though this one for you back yeah I think so [Applause] rival chance going up from sets of fans Hugh backs best around so far do you think you want it back no I do July where you go I think you look good come on part of the medical assaulting it early on in a role then landing some nice jabs more like it yeah that's more like get him out of there what's the matter with you they're trying to get him to believe psychologically those first four or five rounds for all the talk it looks as though you back didn't really believe it and at moments in that round that he began to what's listening run away bring the fight to him [Music] [Music] to build on that success although it's a little bit limited of the sixth round it's better from you back [Applause] but at the halfway stage and Barry Jones scorecard five rounds to one to Billy Joe Saunders I just can't make a case for it for the wrong for you Bank even even maybe the fifth you could have scored level but I can't it's okay just character history just having sustained enough work except for the last row I'm sorry we didn't come on positive Joe Saunders being employed by Vice corner to concentrate or good lead nice right and sneaked little right hand from Saunders right I of you Bank is starting to show damage boxing well Saunders asked good go from Eubank nice solid left hand lead now the referees got to get a grip of this that's not the first time it's infringing the rule I only sent him out he's just working away but you know it's it's that sort of fight those memories gotta keep a real close lid on it some of our some of our experienced guys you know think about Marcus McDonald think about Richie Davis if he tried that sort of stuff that have been the riot acts he came to it that it was a little now he gots to unload this is more like it from Eubank still struggling to find the clear shot he was a pity fighting well missing attack by fighting about to get off the ropes he doesn't want to beat it if there's not his back on the road soon you back him well away that's good work from Eubank jr. come alive in that well as me he's relaxed it's like the tensions got out of his body then they clumsy and punished for it there's a mouse under the right eye I wonder if that's going to close as the fight goes on the face of Chris Eubank the game you ban just over committing and so on those making MP Chad little counter they'd shot their father Joe pretty go Saunders and spin a new back quite well on the ropes and this is where you ain't got a boolean who use that sting that's a good up the guts that's a solid shot maybe not seen from the back of the auditorium but there's a good uppercut in there from Eubank sawdust takes it though and if you run this there both have had the moments in this round really starting to warm up into the second half of the fight we're in Round seven now have you got that one Ewbank jr. I think Billy come back Indian look there's a nice single shot so I think they're for me with a drone for song as the Union [Applause] most hurtful punch that he landed was that uppercut his favorite shot is a shot that really worked off his back on the ropes even as well that was a poly shot just before they won it just to drop that just to drop the elbow good shot there Saunders credit took it well trying to work away himself tendon little scrapper stats cut the wrong [Music] sky I saw on a stage to the fire Ronnie used to slap his dad's face you might still slap his dad's face into the 8th round [Applause] five two on Barry's cars to Billy Joe Saunders the defending champion [Music] and the push as a good writer from Saunders you like walks through it though to push on that last when I just edged towards sort of you back that turn from Saunders this time looks as though it may have been low you like trying to detonate that big uppercut [Applause] interesting that Ronnie Davis given up what would appear in the early stages have been something of a vow of silence and he's getting a bit more animated and saying get out there and show that you are the fighter we know you are I almost have put another light experience in the part of it I'm gonna use it to Santa get also [Applause] saying if nothing you could lip-read that that's nothing well he's safe looking for big shots huge shots and he walks into a laptop from Saunders when that I heard song as they were landing shots clear landing shots fight just sort of simmered didn't it in the early rounds now you get the impression that we've got a fight but Bradford shot nobody enter left Hatton from Eubank Saunders a game has to show that he's got a good chin and takes it well [Applause] and you can see on the face of Chris Eubank jr. now he is starting to fancy this job more well shirley's realized that if he comes forward he has morale at what effect on his town among the tax from distance I think he knows his suits his suits on suddenly watching him taking a breather now though he had these moments and he's got the foot off the gas maybe because he has - yeah it wasn't though you say can work to miss him around honey would appear not welcome to a job there you think [Applause] we've been trying to come forward trying to throw big shots but not finding anything clean no good move there from soils wanting to avoid a little attack so you still got good as good as all is wit surviving with lateral movement good footwork a bit of an exchange there have you got that one varicose another you background to be Jonas today on the spinner giving him five three now Barry has it in Billy Joe Saunders favor it's that left hand from you bangin I just think you know just in heavier shots of you manga and he's not getting caught as clean as he wasn't you earlier on the game Saunders its scruffy it sir Barry's got it by a couple of points Billy Joe Saunders visibly tired against Nick Blackwell in the closing rounds but he says on occasion he's cut corners in training before you back though he's coming on strong and on Barry scars taking the last three rounds so let's come on nice and shaft in this room there's a nice straight shot straight off the belt [Music] [Applause] you got going to work trying to learn some big shots on those roads again you see the defense moves of soldiers but he took his sonic laptop and an uppercut that take some good shots here sons but he's turned you back that was good he's turned him up to his bat on the roof you can push him back lesson the poet in the shop you got to get the job back into place orders that's that's what he's having less it's less success [Applause] the chapter and others and again was it the one too what's in the lab hands terrific atmosphere here at the excel the team of Saunders has two that he has to work with right down there from Eubank songs has to work every time you man to not be human needs to take who needs to take his rest could sort us into every shuttle he's when he takes his rest that's when that's when songs really gonna do his work take advantage of that we've been trying to bully Saunders back the uppercut is the danger shot there it is again it's a solid right hand from Saunders good shot there from Saunders took over couple companies I think his right town as a better shot you Beck's blowing and that is clumsy and he's penalized and so under steps in advance 2 3 4 score results he's dad there in the corner behind mark tips living every punch with Billy Joe [Applause] they'll keep moving keep spinning around standing friendly do that that is some good shots here Saunders Saunders around so far for me this you've got a great shot terrific return from you back Saunders takes it though he's well off balance I think Aviva's moving back and of course it is a good shot I think if the fact that he's moving back there Bunny's up on his toes maybe whatever he's still upright and now looking to return it with interest in the closing seconds of this night oh that was a good right time to finish the round there from the bank but I think the song is wrong Joe Saunders Raftery John well it's difficult if you want to score that could go either way because those noses gone and it's the left eye damaged as well breathing now you put yourself back in the air just about they scoop on my e-commerce you like fresh air right come on Tom you got polarity snarf rebound I will watch laying in a week right but don't get desperate layin get this with making miss Mikey miss come on I'm gonna do it compact folding folding [Music] still the same strategy as before chibi tips imploring Billy Jo to rely on his boxing making this you bike will be going in there looking to finish this he's talking to talking the song there's no again something which frankly shouldn't be allowed as much dauntless can't get involved in those mind games getting kind of war guns or something silly and that's why you bank trying to make him do just keep doing what he's doing moving round fainting land amid the jab covering it up tight when you Amanda it's brogues and I went to as he starts to and punches you go to work cause you know he's gonna take the rest risk of sounding as I'm on the referees case I mean you really should be telling him to shut up during the round yeah I think so good job Devon from Eubank jr. begin that him to play a little bit more as needs wrong yep this is the footwork speed of Saunders not quite where's a good job lovely right and that is quality boxing from solids [Applause] and another good job and again with a shot he's getting back on his boxing that's where he needs in Eubank less that he got an engineer him onto the ropes to smithers his words just a little bit too close and allowing Saunders to turn him and get away from the danger area that's a good body shot it was a good really good body shot and I think Biddy's felt that done low according to the ref it's on our blind side we couldn't see no the power was plenty for they could stand on scoring shots without working you bank who's looking pretty tired in there now mouth hanging open [Applause] [Applause] if you man shows no emotion on his face but he's tired for sure this is deep waters for him mine good shot down to the top there from Killing Joke remember that this is an uncharted waters for Chris Eubank he's never gone into these championship rounds stopped his last ten opponents and he's going looking for Billy Joe here in the last 30 seconds of the tenth good laptop Bobby shops [Applause] took there from Eubank but remember you you back was dominated in the early stages of this round although he's coming on strong in the last 30 seconds [Applause] so I'll just tie you know as well it's a saunders round though this Shirley Barry yeah definitely but these off it but for two months that happens [Applause] stop-in night Rodney knows he's got to take him out 7:3 you've got it yeah every time you can be trouble kitchen you were sin gonna throw more shots wake him up we've got to stop him on tallien like listen to me you've got two nails to stop the management book right okay ninth enema stop talking when the fire it's spot-on relax lovely polish I thought it wasn't shows the toughness of Saunders you've acts had these moments and he's still dangerous that Saunders is ahead two rounds to go listen so I think you Magnus shown he is a good fighter but he's boxing at the high level here so on this persona is doing what we thought he was gonna do and he's and he has no he has the better pedigree and he and he's showing it so far Oh lunch right hook there from Tom Saunders catching new bank coming in good shot from cylinders and then tying a new blanket another good shot from syllabus you've been trying to force the fight trying to find the big shots but just not able to do so Krampus yes mother's work isn't done exactly right against until each other strength but she shouldn't live here we're also pushing bats he's getting too close not knowing each other he's made spaceless throw the punches because he could he get them swings his shots and he needs to get a big either in his big ax to make that to make movement [Applause] thumbs up from you back zondas ties him up from all those big attempted shots to me I think there's only one word really like it [Applause] good luck and I love the applicant there you back again Saunders yet again those returning him on the ropes allowing himself the work experience up posit terrific at the go to oven from you back so does take surrender its bones with a great straight right [Applause] serious drama in this 11th round better be honest humans have a success with the uppercuts but it's all enjoy Amy [Applause] you've actually has to find a big shots to put Billy Joe Saunders down he's looking for them I'll get you on a big uppercuts not to stumble surely we're dream self on the floor a jumble over reaching with his shots huge effort from you by the village of stillness stands firm yet from there for me for tissue bank it's not gonna be enough to win the fight on my dad really got a zero he absolutely went for broke there you back tried to take Billy Joe Saunders out we landed with enough powerful chances fee which other the uppercut that winners worked over all night that's good shot with B Joe Saunders showing that he's a tough kids who can take the shuttle [Applause] such Liebherr nothing too pretty serious fight this one not a huge amount of respect between them they didn't touch my little and you've I've jumped on a jump by then and Tony he's a bit of a surprise the last round and you heard Jimmy Tibbs imploring Saunders to throw the jab to box him you back wants to make it into a brawl that's to try and take him out so in everything with the kitchen Shaitan Singh hasn't landed the big please although he does great uppercut Saunders takes it [Applause] not handed right on the button and Saunders took it because I'm chillin inside of you you vaccine his kindred sort of he's got some chin there's few chance for you back now in amongst the math support for Billy Joe Saunders that was a great uppercut from you back all songs going to leaf jab and keep turning and splinters to his right people live on that right uppercuts I think you bankers tact sort of tapped into the fighting DNA there wasn't he yeah Saunders is being dragged into a you back kind of fight in this last round and Billy Joe is a heart of going south Greg right Alton brilliant really good were def on Saunders Ewbank got a try and work throughout the wrong that's that's a problem he hasn't he put it doesn't rain that way it's better from Eubank flirty trying to open up the right and lead from Saunders again and whipping in the right um [Applause] don't is usually good natural mover there just that you might miss the glow of you in a swinging heavy shots and you're missing last minute [Applause] both these lats dog-tired in that let me cook dancing so terrific you could confirm you back solders type seen again you've earned sensors in this last minute that he could still take Saunders out of here this is what he needs to do he's going to have to stop him telling off from referee Michael Alexander rightly so dragging him down onto the punches [Applause] so I'm just making him miss though most of those and he's not really getting any space and he purchased an really lavender Powershot it's not going to be a net from Eubank ran out of time last few seconds billy goats on this is one that fights and i think you like knows it yeah I feel like if you read the last row 7:5 Billy Joe Saunders on Barry's car [Applause] and if he has lost this fight crissy rank well Chris you back juniors maybe I ought to be calling himself he should be looking back at those first five rounds when he did nothing and allowed Saunders to get a big lead first of all you mention is a good fight there and I think if his work ethic was a little bit was that the more honest he would be a better fighter but this kid as well Billy Joel song this is also a good fight that for me his boxing skills his pedigree was enough to see him through by a couple of points well it's a close one you back certainly came on strong in those last two rounds definitely narrowing the gap but well not enough for us to be honest I didn't think that you Bank would have enough in the tank even though he will experience an attack the finish as strong as he did those last two wrong particularly in that last row which was a tremendous run the best round of the fight if you guys go and hell for leather you been watching in the ring now and showing the sort of energy and the sort of combinations he should have thrown a little bit earlier on this Greek word from you back there and so on there's a goodies in trouble in that last round showing the Britain determination of a real champion and fighting back himself and I think they both shown a lot more than what I've seen from him in the past in different aspects are there live they're plotting their boxing ability I think Saunders I'd never seen have to tough it out so much and he did a new bag I shot you ain't showing that he can do a trial go there and he's a better fight than a technically a better fighter I thought it was Ronnie Davis told you back you had to go and knock him out to win the fights he couldn't do it Frank Warren looks fairly relaxed and Billy Joe Saunders looks like he thinks he knows [Applause] let's find out for sure because Jimmy Lennon jr. is poised there the two fighters will be drawn together by the referee let's find out who's won this one Billy Joe Saunders or Chris you back jr. here's Jimmy [Applause] ladies and gentlemen after 12 rounds of action we have a split decision here the score totals judge at ringside Marcus McDonald scores the mountain 115 to 114 in favor of Billy Joe Saunders judge at ringside Phil Edwards C's at 116 to 113 in favor of Chris Eubank jr. and judge at ringside Terry O'Connor scores about 115 to 113 in favor of the winner he is still undefeated and still the British European and common champion Billy Joe [Applause] saunders gets his dream the results given shakes his head the little disconsolate lee split-decision three rounds one round and Terry O'Connor the deciding judge by two rounds the Billy Joe Saunders what a good fight though I tell you one dumb King used to once upon a time have a saying when he'd seen a fight like that he used to say let's dance again let's dance again you see that one again hundred percent sure some time down the line these two will be in the ring once again a split decision just heightening the drama and Billy Joe Saunders getting it everyone sees a different fight one judge saw it by three rounds to Chris Eubank jr. the other two by one and two to Billy Joe Saunders ends up macro Nellie how did you see it I had a tune for Billy - Billy - up I thought it was to be all the first check stronger link you're gonna run away with it will you round put on a lot of pressure on them and he answered a lot of questions tonight then I think that result tonight is going to do one knows remember his career ladies and gentlemen you're live on box nation and we're gonna have a word with both fighters first of all the champion after all the build-up bill after all the talk the hard work what does it mean to win first of all just want to say thank you for everybody who come out here because use the ones to make the show tonight listen fair play to Christian Frank jr. you know he's better than what for he was good work right back it was just a little bit too slow on the early rounds and I knew his game plan was to push me on the last six so you know I think I was in front or maybe six and seven then he started taking over then I nicked a couple of rain be nine maybe eleven but you know fair play to him but you know I'm only 25 he's only 25 next stop is a WBO well tall but I think I've got a little bit more learning to do yet and I'm ready for the world title [Applause] Chris it was a split decision how close did you think the fight was how did you think it go was close most of most of the second half of the fight if not all of it he's got a good engine you know I'm back in the gym tomorrow this isn't the end I'm coming for I'm coming for the British again hopefully we can do a rematch ASAP because I felt like I felt like I won the
