Eubank will win easy on points to mobile and too high a work rate.
Abraham is well by his best. The standard of enubank's opposition so far is a disgrace.

Abraham always gives away the first 4 rounds against good fighters because he basically hasn't even gotten started yet, I don't know that he has it in him anymore to turn it up enough starting at Round 5 to make up for the deficit anymore, but I figure he'd last the distance and win some rounds in there.

Eubank would outwork him though. 116-112 or 117-111

Weren't we wondering who'd win out of Eubank and DeGale the other day?

We're never going to find out, because Eubank would rather fight bin men for title belts you find in Rice Krispie boxes, then fight anybody good.

I can't see anything other than a very one-sided target session for Jr. Everyone knows AA is lazy, how he even gets mentioned now is beyond me. Scorecards would be along the likes of 119-108/118-109

Abraham will be Eubank's highest profile opponent since Saunders and the fight will be officially announced on Tuesday, ESPN understands.

Eubank (24-1, 19 KOs), 27, is expected to defend his fringe IBO super middleweight belt against Abraham (46-5, 30 KOs) with the fight screened live on ITV Box Office in the UK.

It's an OK fight. Half decent. Abraham seems to have been around since the 1920s even though he's only 37.

My position is that millennial fighters have a much higher workrate than 1920s fighters. And that's what sways me.

Eubank Points. If rumours are true about Abtaham's training habits he may even retire on his stool late.

Due to Junior's workrate principally.

Hearn pretty much confirmed its taking place on July 15th in his interview today...

Did he mention anything about Junior's workrate?

Well there you go. Hush my mouth.

press conference tomorrow...

Is ridiculous that this is Box Office, whether on ITV or otherwise! I wonder what the undercard will be like and how much the fight will cost.

Christian Hammer, John Ryder, Andrew Selby and Kid Galahad should all be available again if required.
Christian Hammer vs. Cornish or Sexton would be fun for the WBO European.
John Ryder vs. David Brophy for the Commonwealth Title maybe?

I won't be buying the PPV but I'm interested enough to get a stream

Presser has been put back to tomorrow - http://www.worldboxingnews.net/2017/06/ ... nt-delayed

Whos promoting this ? Poxon??

should imagine it will be the same set up last time...

Huge Abraham fan but Ramirez outworked him.

Can see Eubank taking this clearly with a high workrate.

July 15th at Wembley Arena? I might just pop along to this. Abraham is clearly on his way down but it will be a good test for Eubank Jr and a decent name on his record.
It'll be a tough fight but I see Eubank winning this due to Abraham having a lower work rate.

AA would be the biggest name on Juniors record so not a terrible fight and will be interesting if AA can land a decent shot or two, if young Christopher can pass a chin check its another box ticked going forward. I won't pay to watch it however and I do cast my mind back 6 or 7 years to him getting schooled by Froch then Ward. If he couldn't keep the pace back then its very hard to see him matching the work rate of Eubank Jr now

I just hope the people who screenshot Frank's shows have a go at this... It's not going to sell out! Same as Camp Eddie in Liverpool, but no, I guess they won't...

A high wok rate from EubankS and a low work rate from AbrahamS will decide this one

Echo thoughts of others. Good name for the record. Still a decent fight but Eubank getting Abraham at the right time. Should be a wide points win.
