Nice sparring session in the build up to Bad Blood

He's in for such a wake-up call.

I just had a quick look of Eubank Jr's twitter feed, in the build up to this fight.

Chris Eubank Jr ‏@ChrisEubankJr They say you are what you eat... But I'm far from a chicken.

Such wit. How ever will he back up such awesome smack talk?

Eubank is no GGG and i expect him to get beat very easily

bjs is very very good

He does look wide open sometimes but also looks very good coming forward. I still can't make my mind up on him.

Likewise, a bit like his Dad before the Benn fight actually, although he never looked great going forward.

Let's see fight night. I'd imagine he's going to get a wake up.

It'll be funny if he does.

Though BJS is hardly likeable either.

Very true,Jr is very easy to dislike but Billy Joe has also come across as completely classless of late and almost bully-like at times.

Eubank looks slow to me.

Haven't got a clue how the fight will go, and it does seem that Eubank has bitten off more than he can chew, as BJS is a much more experienced, seasoned operator, but...

watching Jnr spar you can tell he hasn't just been schooled in a British gym, his movement from the waist is better than pretty much any British fighter about at the minute - he rolls and rides shot really nicely, he finds some great angle by dipping low and pivoting, then able to bring up those uppercuts which seem real spiteful shots.
He really has got some slick moves, whether he's got his old mans chin to go with them is another question...

Ive always thought he looks pretty quick. Quicker than Saunders atleast anyway.

I think its a great matchup. Two upcoming fighters clashing. We don't see this that often anymore.

As a minimum he will be conditioned and focus and have immense self belief. I think they will both have a wake up call. This will be a tough tough fight.

I really think Jr is going to shock a few people

Not saying he'll win but i can't see it being the walk over for BJS that most seem to think it will be

I certainly wouldn't rule out a Jr KO win

This this and this some more......everyone has opinions and that's great but sometimes you have to take a step back and applaud both lads for going for it. Which ever way you think it will go fights like this are what I watch boxing for.

Yes good point..... But I have put a few bets on BJS, so will be rooting for him.

Normally this is the kind of fight I wouldn't really care who wins, I would just want a good fight. As you say, both are hardly classy guys, though sometimes BJS can be quite humorous, unlike JnR

Yeah, Eubank Jr is a bellend.

Like father, like son.

Foot movement.

Your right he is no GGG but bjs isn't very very good, his good. It's a 50/50 fight IMO ! There's times when Eubank jnr does look easy to hit, but his uppercuts are awesome, I just feel his going to land them on bjs as he pleases. Can't wait

I was talking to 'boxing people' at the weekend who were certain Saunders would win and couldn't understand why anyone would think differently.

I'm sticking my neck out but I genuinely believe Eubank will stop him, and I'll be backing this up with hard cash on the night.

Still cannot call this one at all. I must say it is one fight I cannot wait for as I have no real loyalty to either fighter as a fan so I'm gonna sit back and enjoy.

Any outcome could happen IMO

Spoken to loads of 'boxing people' and everyone is split. Eubank is so untested it is quite dangerous as he could be really good or be exposed. Massive risk with no reward for BJS
