Great scrap. Eubank probably too fast for Hope but just the test he needs

Mitchell Smith v Peter Cope is an excellent match as well.

Yeah for the Welsh title, on his day he can beat Eubank jr. This will show me how good Eubank is.

Good fight for Eubank, good step up, not too dangerous, but hope is tough enough to test Eubank jr, we will know where he is after this, if he wins could jump up the ladder, towards a major title, if he loses, then we know.

Good to see some prospects putting there undeafeted records on the line against each other early in there career .Mitch smith 8-0 v peter cope 9-0 and Gary corcoran 8-0 v Robert Dixon 10-0. Credit to these lads cos it doesn't happen much these days

Seems a bit strange to announce the Eubank fight already, when there`s a slight chance that Hope might lose this weekend

This is a definite step up for Eubank but I would like to see him up against a higher calibre of fighter.

I think he has potential but it is hard to say how much until he fights better fighters.

Yeah, him and Saunders should fight. Maybe Hope is the set up fight for that though. Hope being a fellow southpaw to Saunders.

I think Eubank Jnr will do well; I agree it's time to step it up and make some ground this year; Kerry Hope will give him a good fight, he's a strong and game man.

Fighting Eubank Jr would be a step back for Saunders when he's looking towards world titles, if Eubank Jr gets past Hope, I'd like to see him fight Gary O'Sullivan.

Yeah but I dont think Saunders is ready to fight for a world title just yet. On top of that, the Eubank Jnr fight would be a pretty big fight I think.

Etches is a dangerous kid; I can't see any other prospect looking for that fight.

Failing that Ryder would be a healthy step up in quality.

Kerry Hope is decent he is fringe British level which means if Eubank beats him he could be in line for the British.

I agree but the I think the fact Hope is fighting three weeks before this fight is not ideal preparation.
