You think? I think he'd beat Ryder and blackwell.

Eubank showed he has the basis to be a real good fighter. He was clumsy and needs better guidance but with limited professional and amateur experience just took it to the British, European and Commonwealth champion who is world ranked. Not bad at all.

I think he has more upside long term

Im hoping Chisora can make this interesting.

Fury looks an unfocussed, self-conscious wreck. Said the self proclaimed keyboard warrior.

I fancy delboy for a spectacular stoppage

They need to try and work on his balance in particular. So often when he would throw the right hand his back leg would end up in front.

I had the BJS vs Eubank fight as a 116-113 to Saunders.

I also think Billy grew in that fight, and now I think he can go up, but I still think Eubank will be the better man in the final reckoning. British boxing did well out of that.

That's what I think. I reckon Eubank could go further in his career than BJS. How much input does Snr have? Do you think the old man is a help or hindrance?

He's a help to the bank balance!

Also a help early in his career, making him take a tougher route than most but it seems now he needs to take a step back and let jnr be his own man.

Huh?

Got a great chance. Korobov has looked pretty average throughout his pro career, doesnt seem to have a next gear. Perhaps now that he's at world level he finds it, but I'm very far from convinced by him. Been badly shaken a couple of times too, but I cant see BJS putting much of a dent in him. Could outwork him though.

Yeah that's sort of how I see it. It's a pretty interesting one.

I'd give him a real chance of winning, especially if they get the fight over here, which is a real possibility after tonight, Korobov's a good fighter, but he isn't going to put Saunders under huge pressure and Saunders boxes really well at range.

I wouldn't rule Lee out yet though, he's a live underdog in that one. Hope he wins too, him vs Saunders would be a massive fight.

He was actually matched quite tough in his first 8-9 fights, then something changed and they started shipping in the Latvians.

He'd not beat them through skill, to be British title level in boxing you ought to be proficient in boxing, not just a big strong lump at the weight.

Yes, if Korobov doesnt chin him, Lee could definitely edge him on points purely through activity.

I pick Fury to stop Chisora late.

Chisora one punch ko.

Bad judging AGAIN ..split my ass

Chisora no jab

Whoa! Cock punch from Chisora....
