That they're pulling these stunts early doors tells you they're going to really have to sell the shit out of this

Expect the dad's to be facing off in a presser at some point soon - I imagine that fight would sell better than their offsprings
It'll sell out quickly, mostly to casuals and third party sites. Probably need a strong undercard including such as Wardley, Fisher etc to properly be a hot ticket.
 
I hate Eubank Jr. as a fighter but he’s a quality wind up at a presser.

Benn I’m the opposite with, I don’t get why he’s so aggro like he’s been dragged up off the streets.
I know it's not possible but I would like both to lose.

Living in his dad’s shadow, one he can never get out of due to being a vastly inferior boxer, and being reminded of that whenever someone wants to wind him up is going to leave an obvious chip on the shoulder if he lets it get to him, which he clearly does.
 
Should be counted as a knockdown - whatever the reason.

Said he had grease in his eyes from his new hair cut. It'll would've swung the fight in Roach's favour too.
 
Not seen the fight but sounds like he got a gift? Boxrec fans score has it as 117-111.

Woeful if so. Was fully expecting a classic Tank performance where he gets outworked early rounds and then steps on the gas and gets the stoppage around 7-10.

Either stagnating at this level or never as good as they tried to sell him... rematch first I guess but then fight Shakur or Keyshawn so we can really find out. 30 years old and 30+ pro fights and we still don't know because he's been fighting B-level opponents his entire career.

He's got a good resume but hasn't yet fought the real elite of the division. The likes of Teofimo, Loma, Shakur, Haney etc.

LSC, Gamboa, Garcia, Cruz & Frank Martin are all good wins, and he did some of them in style. You could argue that Santa Cruz belongs with the names above.

Maybe it was just an off-night for him last night which might make fighters more willing to fight him but I'd expect or hope that Roach gets the rematch then fight Shakur.
 
I’ve just caught up on the Crocker- Donovan fight from the weekend and I thought the DQ was harsh.

I suspect that Donovan’s earlier fouls affected the ref’s decision.

Donovan must be gutted cos he dominated the fight.
 
Dana White on a mission to make boxers get paid even less than UFC fighters
I’m sure Hearn and Warren must be shitting bricks that their gravy train could be coming to an end after Dana White teamed up with Turk al Sheikh even after all the sucking up they have done to him over the years.

I hope Dana's got a plan for when Turki wants to hold his hand again or this could all fall apart very quickly.
