Abass Baraou vs. Sam Eggington | CH5 - 1 March 2024

[The_Don1]

Lots of people seem to be backing Baraou, I can see it from the amount of wars Egg has been in and Baraou's amaeteur pedigree, but Baraou hasn't really lived up to the hype, in his first real step up again Jack Culcay, he was disappointing and lost, who has he actually beaten? I don't think being with the dark fraud Booth helped him much, and he's now moved on from him.

Can Baraou outbox Egg? Sure, can he outfight him? The remains to be seen, I give Egg every chance if he can take Baraou out of his rhythm, fascinating fight.

His fight with Carlos Molina was a lot closer than sams with the same opponent. We know its a big ask and a hard fight but we will see on the night.
Thanks for the nice comments makes a change from the lads in the gym lol

All the best to you and Sam, Jon looking forward to it!

That's his daughter in them isn't it? Recall her being in CBBCs the dumping ground where she was featured in a boxing gym (my daughter watched it at the time, I'm not a nonce, just to clarify).

hahaahha just re-read this re the no-nonce clarification. I once said this years ago when I applied for a job as a youth worker, told them I love kids then followed it up with "not like a paedo....although it sounds paedoey". I stopped talking then.

jesus eggo been around forever !

only 30, been a pro 11.5 years. I think apart from Dave Allen, Sam is my favourite fighter, and Jon's possibly the nicest man in sport.

I hope Sam pulls it off then retires.

I also hope he wins, selfishly I really enjoy watching him fight so hope we see a few more of him.

Good interview with Eggington in this week's Boxing News. Looks like he's going down the WBA route. Boxing News in the fight preview (called Slugfest Incoming) tips Eggington to win by points.

[Spud]

Barbou by stoppage

[Ruthless-RKO]

This is now a WBA eliminator

deffo, really hope he does it!

Team Eggington all day every day, still baffles me how he became a British, Commonwealth and European champion plus wins over Malignaggi and Gavin, fantastic career, hopefully he can pick up a second European title, in saying that if Baraou is a boxer/mover it could be a tough night for Sam
