‘A Maserati engine vs a Ford’ – Roy Jones Jr says Chris Eubank is a ‘different level’ to Liam Williams and ‘there really is no comparison’ ahead of showdown in Cardiff

Huh? He was in his corner for his last couple of fights wasn’t he?!

I mean in regards to prep for this bout.

Matt Christie says he’s only been with him for the last two weeks although apparently they talk a lot on zoom

The less of RJJ for Eubank Jr for this fight in particular, the better IMO.
Zoom training
Like that works, ask the yoof

Yeah I don't think RJJ is much cop as a trainer to tell the truth

War Williams!

For someone as often underwhelming as Eubank, I suppose I’m a bit surprised to see him such a big favourite with the bookies.
Yes, Roy Jones surely just a cosmetic ego boosting addition here. Whereas swami guru Booth at least knows how to implement a game plan.
Will it be his usual schtick of turning Williams into a boxer, and jab the Brighton man’s head off?

The Boxxer guy seems a boxing fan turned promoter, and has got the right idea with barnburners like this off box office ( though let’s be honest this was never going to sell on PPV ) and earlier main event starts ( 9pm is it? ) And a local boy against a faded world title holder on the undercard: good move that, Frank W used to do that sort of thing on his way up..

But this obsession with women’s boxing, I mean who really watches it ? it’s a misguided PR driven agenda and in this instance he’s just trying to keep good with his new boss, that hapless pinheaded moron Adam Smith.,

Eubank has a rematch clause in this.

It’s very frequent to have rematch clauses. Just seems to be getting more publicity at the moment as some of the favourites in fights have lost so they’ve been exercised.

I don’t have much of an issue with it to be honest as long as the rematches happen quickly (unlike Yarde/Arthur, Fury/Wilder 3 and now seemingly AJ/Usyk).

Very poor undercard for this one although nothing unusual.

Main event is good enough for me and it’s on Sky Showcase. So not many complaint from me.

I’m only gonna be able to watch the event after 9 anyway.

Yeah, if you’ve got the Sky Entertainment pack. I just signed up to it a few days ago specifically for this fight, managed to get an offer so only paying £4.99 for the first 2 months, will prob cancel after that.

A day pass is a tenner on its own, I’d go for Entertainment pack personally

What's going on?

It's gone past 3 and no weigh in?

UK weigh in's usually around 1pm aren't they?

fkin sweet, thanks pal

That is a massive card.
I'm picking 2 decent undercard fights plus the main event.
That's quite decent, and maybe one more from the undercard could turn out interesting.
Great stuff!

1st 5lb? Is Shields really desperate to increase her KO rate?
