People talk up CEJ’s workrate but I don’t see it as special.

It’s ok, he’s got a good engine but it’s all hooks and uppercuts which he telegraphs a mile off, Williams got a good chance here for me.

Fightdoctor wrote: 04 Feb 2022, 16:32 Liam Williams will stop Eubanks. Guaranteed. Eubanks leaves himself open when throwing combos. He gets hit way too much and I think he is chinny. He hasn't fought anyone on Williams level. Well he did fight Billy Joe but got thoroughly undressed. Get yourself any easy payday this weekend. 6-1 Williams to win by KO.
The BJS fight was extremely close and could've gone either way.

Its a tough decision on who wins. Williams lost to Liam Smith. I think Eubank loses to him as well.

Williams the better boxer, Eubank by far the fitter with a better chin. I normally go boxer over brawler, but Eubank for me. I am pissed though, so who the hell knows.

Err… George Groves… 🤔
:OhYes: and with one arm at the end, so are we allowed to say undressed "single handed"?

That work rate has been missing the last few fights. I get he might be trying to focus more on his boxing and RJJ's teachings. But his work rate is what got him where he is now.

thought this would be a true 50-50, they have eubank as a decent favorite.

Feel that may be taking into acount williams losses to smith, but when you look at them closer he arguably won 13/21 rounds, and got stopped on cuts which is always a bit unlucky.

No matter what swami booth has instilled in Liam, you’d think after midway it’ll turn into a rock em sock em, and Eubank looks like he has the better chin, so should prevail in about 10…

But you gotta hand it to the Brighton braggart, there’s not many would want a tear up with a tank like Williams coming at em. He’s in for some pain tonight …

I don’t mind the undercard for this - particularly given how good/expensive the main event is.

The Jenkins and Antwi fights are well matched. I’m not bothered by either of the womens fights so it’ll be interesting to see which fights are shown where - hopefully they don’t cram the main show with Wallin and Dubois at the expense of one of the more evenly matched fights.

why? he's done it several times and it happens all the time that a guy comes in 1 pound under. seems like hardly anything
What I mean is that it suggests he's small at the weight and Eubank is a big middle. So I wonder whether that will make a big difference. I would like to see Williams win

I agree. The size is my concern for Williams.
I think he has the edge in other areas.

Maybe he's already downed a bottle or two?

Maybe Usyk v Joshua 2 is on the undercard?

I’ll probably regret asking, but what did Liam say about Chris and his dad that caused offence ?

Course they would. They will have massive fight as chief support( 2 men) then have a good undercard of most men doing the business and then say look how well these girls have sold out the show
