Not heard of eubnak so probably go with Brook lol
Re: Which bill will you watch on the 26th March?
Eubank v Blackwell.
Re: Which bill will you watch on the 26th March?
Eubank and Blackwell is a much more competitive fight so will go with that and record Brook , in an ideal world the main events would not clash!

Re: Which bill will you watch on the 26th March?
I couldn't give a shit about Brook vs Bizier. It's a poor fight against a shit fighter that Kell is guaranteed to win easily.
Blackwell vs Eubank is a genuine 50-50 fight though. I look forward to it. I hope it delivers unlike the last 2 major British fights.

Re: Which bill will you watch on the 26th March?
I'm hoping it works that both main events are on at the same time so I can watch Sky's undercard (as Ch5 starts late and I've not got that Spike TV) then switch over for the main fight

Re: Which bill will you watch on the 26th March?
Blackwell and Eubank at least should be competitive.
However if you're* prone to complaining about these fights being "boring" (also read: evenly matched and competitive) I'd tune in to see Kell's latest walk over.
* Not directed at you personally OP, just people in general seem to be whinging about this a lot recently.

He's the son of English Eubnak.Looking On wrote:Not heard of eubnak so probably go with Brook lol

I'm on Virgin, and also don't have it. Though I just turn my Virgin box off, and watch it on Freeview. So it's all good.ste1983 wrote:I'm on virgin pal its not on there yetlittlepug wrote:if youve got sky you should have access to the spike channel mateste1983 wrote:I'm hoping it works that both main events are on at the same time so I can watch Sky's undercard (as Ch5 starts late and I've not got that Spike TV) then switch over for the main fight

Boxing is very much being aimed at the casuals these days, especially now Uncle Eddie seems to want to make as many people pay for as many PPVs as possible. This is probably where the idea that big knock outs = excitement and competitive fights = shite comes from.BigSexy wrote:Blackwell and Eubank at least should be competitive.

I've heard people pour scorn on the idea somebody might win on points, rather than knock out his opponent out before too.

Re: Which bill will you watch on the 26th March?
I'll watch both. As to which one I'll watch live, it really has to be Eubank Jr v Blackwell - genuinely interesting fight & I love that Eubank Jr has targeted the British title instead of skipping past it like so many do these days.
Re: Which bill will you watch on the 26th March?
Hopefully both. I don't get Spike through Virgin and the main event on 5 doesn't usually start til later so I'll watch the Sky bill then turn over and catch the Eubank fight. I'll set the 5 bill to record and if sky finish later I'll just start watching the 5 bill on record straight after. Extra hour or two of boxing 
Re: Which bill will you watch on the 26th March?
Very true. It's quite disheartening when those on forums and social media proclaim some of these points wins to be poor. If you (the people) can't appreciate the work and ability or skill involved to out-box someone for 10-12 rounds, then go and watch WCW or some other staged crap. Action all the time.ILikeBeer wrote:Boxing is very much being aimed at the casuals these days, especially now Uncle Eddie seems to want to make as many people pay for as many PPVs as possible.

Spot on that, does seem to be in the main people who watch a coupld of big fights a year (Frampton/Quigg) too.

Though, to be fair, Frampton vs Quigg was shite.ste1983 wrote:![]()

Re: Which bill will you watch on the 26th March?
Frampton v Quigg wasn't the barnburner everyone wanted or anticipated, but it was no way as bad as some make out. Some were expecting one for the ages, it was for me a bit average. A 7/10. There's been a hell of a lot worse. Not to reopen that debate too much.ILikeBeer wrote:Though, to be fair, Frampton vs Quigg was shite.ste1983 wrote:![]()

I enjoy a knockout, brawl or war as much as the next person, but give me Frampton v Quigg over a card "stacked" with Latvian Binmen being put on their arse.
Re: Which bill will you watch on the 26th March?
This, I enjoyed Frampton/Quigg its kind of what I half expected two guys at the top of their game often results in a bit of a chess match but still edge of your seat as so intriguing.BigSexy wrote:Frampton v Quigg wasn't the barnburner everyone wanted or anticipated, but it was no way as bad as some make out.

The thing is a lot of the people who moan only watch the big big fights. If they watched more fights they'd get a better mix (some wars, some tactical fights etc) but they just expect the biggest fights to be the war's its often the opposite case. Remember having an argument with someone who told me he loved a good war/brawl type fight so was disapoointed with Mayweather/Pacquiao. I asked him whether he'd watched Mathysse/Provodnikov the week or so before and he hadn't.......own fault then if you want war's watch those type fights not Mayweather!
Re: Which bill will you watch on the 26th March?
Will be at the Blackwell v Eubank fight anyway, but if I wasn't and was choosing it would be that one anyway without a shadow of a doubt. Will be a shame if its Micks last fight on channel 5 but hopefully will be a cracking fight, pull good numbers and make their execs have another think.
Re: Which bill will you watch on the 26th March?
got to be blackwell v eubanks. i want to see Luke Campbell v Gary Sykes could be a goodun

This
I like fights that are evenly matches so they're fun to watch with no guaranteed winner. I've no interest in seeing Brook vs Bizier because it's a simple nights work for Brook with no chance of an upset, no interest and no competitiveness. It's just going to be Brook beating on Bizier for 5 rounds until he gets the KO. Boring.

Re: Which bill will you watch on the 26th March?
Eubank Blackwell should be a cracking fight. Brook is an arrogant tosser as is his promoter. Hope channel 5 trounce them in the ratings sky are arrogant beyond belief.
Re: Which bill will you watch on the 26th March?
I'm doing my bit. Got the Spike TV bill on.
