Eubank literally tries to take his head off with every shot
Eubank probably needs to stop him to win it
 
I think this fight is a bit closer than the commentary would tell you, Eubank probably needs a knockdown at a minimum though.
 
Eubank started too late to claw it back I think, both of them will have to massively improve if they want to be World Champions though, nowhere near that level yet.
 
There is no way on earth Eubank was 3 ahead on one card :lol: come on.

BJS wasn't that impressive though, he has basically won because Eubank didn't show up quickly enough. Eubank can get much better I think thats clear, might do him some good that one.
 
Why is there always one judge who sees the fight differently to everyone else?

First time I've seen a CEJ fight live, he did better as the fight wore on but was useless in the early rounds. Still, I think he's got the talent to go on and become a champion.
 
Eubank Jnr lost that fight with the poor showing in the first 5 rounds. Letting BJS establish the range, jab and counter punching was a big mistake. However, he did show that when he pressed the action, though throwing wildly and often in inaccurate bursts, he belonged on the same level as his opponent. Had he had the belief to push the pace like he did from 6 through to 12 then he would have won the fight. Lesson learnt.

It felt very much like a reverse version of Groves DeGale 1 in that the power puncher came on stronger as the fight went on this time after the technician built the unassailable lead first. As BJS rightly predicted, this has a world title rematch written all over it down the line with possibly / probably a trilogy to line Frank's pockets.
 
Eubank jr looked quite clumsy in there but in the late rounds he did catch Saunders with some really good shots. Credit to Saunders for taking them.
 
I can't wait for this fecking idiot to get knocked out. Won't happen tonight though, sadly.
 
I just watched a movie and logged on facebook to see this fight was on, what timing :lol:
 
Also in Eubank Jnr's defence, the advice he received in the corner was comically inept including this classic line "win the fight" delivered between the mid to late rounds. Another nugget of analysis was "just beat him up".

Yeah, I'll be surprised if BJS gets that far honestly. A very good fighter but firmly a notch below the top level, he is young and can improve but I just don't see it.

Eubank needs to know when to throw 100% and when not to, he's all or nothing and his strategy skills are the biggest thing he needs to improve, he's moved up quickly so thats the risk you take when you come up against increasingly better opponents. Eubank hopefully learns from that fight, possibly it also levels him as a person a little bit and he just keeps his head down improving, he's definately got the potential to go far a higher ceiling than BJS I would say.
 
Fury looked a class above in that round for me. Moving well and hitting decent shots. Chisora looks like hes putting his head down, swinging and hoping for the best.
 
You know what, I didn't look who posted this, but I looked up Tuam on Google and thought that seems just like a TBP post. Low and behold! I can read you like a book ya cnut, like a fecking book...:lol:

No flies on you Colin!

Listen, you wouldn't have a stream you could lob into me inbox by any chance?
 
Not really a boxing fan but will watch a main event now and then, is it just me or has Fury a strange style of boxing?
