Would hate to see any other result than Spike, but voted Eubank to win by KO. It seems like the script is that Spike has to win by stopping Eubank. Having watched Spike in his fights we know he does have explosive stopping power, but I think the danger is that with this plan being quite obvious you would expect the Eubank team to fight accordingly and I can see Eubank catching Spike hard when Spike is trying to trade.

Just an idea, but I would be interested to see a poll on who fight fans would like to see win? Would expect the Irish man to be winning that poll.

Spike plays into Eubank hands by wanting to make fight of it and Eubank wins by KO. All about levels, I think.

[samwbr]

Eubank by stoppage if he listens to his corner as I can't see Adam Booth out thought by Paschal Collins.

[Stuarty]

I went for Eubank on points but I agree with the Booth/Collins comment. Booth is very meticulous. Wether EJ takes it on board or not is another thing.

trouble is there is a choice of 3 to listen to and I thought he said before the BJS fight he doesn't need any advice from the corner
is Ronnie Davis there on " slapping duty" only ? . I am really suprised Booth wants any part of it .

Ronnie by his own volition is getting too old for the job at nearly 70. Snr is going in the jungle isn't he?

[Stuarty]

Not seen O'Sullivan a lot. Only a few times. Has he ever been hurt or on the deck?

[Crease]

Eubank is a level (maybe even two) ahead of Spike. Realistically this fight has Eubank victory by wide point decision written all over it.

My only hope is that Spike invites him on and lands a few heavy blows first. We haven't Eubank genuinely hurt in the ring as of yet, I'm not sure if Spike has the world-class genuine punching power to do it, but if he unloads on Eubank and decides to go out in a blaze of glory, this could be an interesting (and exciting) experience.

If Spike decides to use this occasion to show his boxing skill, then he's going to be sorely disappointed and outpointed by Eubank Jr, and it will be a poor spectacle.

[Noxy]

On paper, you'd have to go with Chris. Nevertheless, I have a feeling Spike is underrated, especially against a name like Eubank. In other words, I wouldn't be that surprised if we see an upset here. I'm more excited about this match than the main event.

[LGilsenan]

Think Eubank will show just how good he is against Spike. Personally I want Eubank too win by stoppage, but I see him winning by 117-111 or 118-110 and outclassing Spike. Having said this if Spike can land and hurt Eubank it will be interesting too see how Eubank reacts.

Bloody autocorrect.

Brilo, you mean I'd like to see Spike win BECAUSE he's a Hammer.

Ronnie isn't stupid and, if the plan is for Booth to do the talking, will keep it zipped between rounds unless instructed otherwise. The father, if he's there, is a different animal.

Saw something earlier in the week that suggested he would be there as was hyping him and collins being on the top table. But perhaps that was before it was officially confirmed he was in the jungle.

It would be a big upset if Spike won this.

Has Spike ever been hurt in a fight?
