Jr will go the same way from the looks of things.

Watson x2
Collins x2
Thompson x2?
Need I go on?
Oh yea forgot about Calzaghe but there was no need to fight the yanks, he earnt more money with the Brits/Irish. Nobody really knows how he would have got on with them either as Eubank could comeback from anything that was coming to him. Not one yank fighter showed us that they could have done this type of thing when the going got tough?fizzjambo wrote:Rexob wrote:Benn x2Naandrew wrote:

Calzaghe as well. That said he dodged all the good quality Yanks. He never fought the true top guy in his division
Who this guy?Rexob wrote:CaptainSpacerod wrote:He's a well educated chap who talks well but talk's cheap.

He won't fight anybody who's anywhere near world level nor does he deserve to really based on his career so far.

The Watson fights were great but Watson wasn't world level. His fight with Mike McCallum fight shown what world level was.Rexob wrote:Benn x2Naandrew wrote:True but it still doesn't disguise the fact that Senior wanted no part of numerous world level fighters.Rexob wrote:

It's going to bomb spectacularly. There's a really interesting interview with Eddie on iFL released yesterday where he talks in depth about this (can't link it on my mobile due to the stupid YouTube app). Seems like the tickets haven't even gone on sale yet or the PPV price announced and it's only 4 weeks away! He absolutely rips Eubank Sr apart as well, it's worth a watch just for that.jameswilson wrote:Do people think this is going to be a success? I think it's going to bomb hard.

20 quid for the ITV PPVMrJasonM wrote:£20 is the price for this event. An outrageous price.
Apparently there will be an early bird offer. Jeez!

I don't even think it's been confirmed has it? I saw a venue and date named but that appears to have vanished and the fight is meant to be on next month.chad wrote:Do we have a confirmed date for this fight yet? Any news on the undercard?
Cheers and have a great 2017
It doesn't seem to be building any publicity though. Outside of very boxing-specific media I've not seen anything mentioned about this fight or Eubank himself for ages. There was a fair bit of talk pre-Golovkin, but when that didn't happen he might as well have fallen off the face of the earth.Finn wrote:Of course it could just be a way of building publicity????
