OutByEaster? Posted July 26, 2014 Moderator Share Posted July 26, 2014 Should be a good evening for the night owls tonight anyway, Golovkin is up and there's the sad sight of Roy Jones Jr still at it at the age of 62; plus there's a football match of something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) So who is on this bill now? Billy Joe Saunders, I really liked him when he was first coming through bit his career has stalled massively. He needs to fight Eubanks jr cuz them pair hate each other and it isn't just for show either, they seem to have a genuine disliking for each other, of you watch some interviews with BJS it sounds like something went on between them that he isn't willing to talk anout Edited July 26, 2014 by leemond2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnie Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) Pretty poor of fury to pull out tonight after all the crap he gave chisora and haye. I wonder if this fight was ever going to happen anyway and was designed to encourage people not to get a refund.

He comes across poorly in his interviews and hasnt improved. For me eubank will beat him. Edited July 26, 2014 by donnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 See I think BJS comes across quite well, he just has massive stamina issues at his current weight and I don't know if he would have any power if he moved up. Eubanks jr would win pretty comfortably but it would be a good scrap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Dunno much about the other guy, but Eubank Jr just opened a six pack of whoopass on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted July 26, 2014 Moderator Share Posted July 26, 2014 Absolutely battered the man inside of a round. He really needs to be fighting better fighters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted July 26, 2014 Moderator Share Posted July 26, 2014 Eubanks Jr just threatened just about every fighter in Britain that's anywhere near his weight - Senior says he'll be better than Mayweather Jnr! They're full on tonight, in and out of the ring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Billie Joe Saunders - Eubank Jr has to happen soon. I fancy Eubank Jr in that one. Not sure he will go on to be as good as his dad was, but then not many people were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 He's making all the right moves, he looks good in the ring and he is a pretty decent talker outside of it. TV loves a guy like that. He has to look at the big domestic fights soon, maybe look at moving into the top 10 contenders within 18 months? A lot of the middleweights at the very top level are over 30, it might be the case that Eubank Jr is the right age to catch them on the way down.

AshVilla Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 GGG what a beast Another KO What is that now 27 in 30 fights? Would be nice to see him fight a better opponent though he called out Cotto after the fight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted July 27, 2014 Moderator Share Posted July 27, 2014 I couldn't find the Golovkin fight last night - I presume he looked good then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) Yeah, he is making top quality opposition look like bums. Cotto would be a big money fight, I think GGG wins that by knockout. Fight is here if you want it. Russian commentary, though they don't say much at all. Edited July 27, 2014 by The_Rev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted July 27, 2014 Moderator Share Posted July 27, 2014 Cheers Rev! He's a strange fighter in some ways, he's not quick, or stylish or flashy; in fact in a lot of ways he looks pretty average - but he's brutal, he takes what you throw and hurts you with everything that he throws; he's a monster.

He just reminds me of Ivan Drago Constantly comes forwards and tries to break his opponent If he dies he dies Love it Edited July 27, 2014 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 You might argue that he is stereotypically East European in style, it's all stuff straight out of the textbook but he can get away with being so orthodox because of his power. I do think he is exceptionally strong in cutting the ring off, he can walk people down and step into the area they are trying to use to get away from him. His ability to read that is exceptional. I guess when you combine that with what is undoubtedly an extreme intimidation factor at the moment. There is a lot of speculation over where he goes from Cotto. He might have to go up or down a division after he has cleaned up at 160 and then you have to wonder if he can make a lower weight or take his power with him to a higher one. Canelo Alvarez is being mentioned and that would be a massive fight on PPV but would Canelo want it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Canelo would take it, I don't think he ducks many people, I know his record is padded with a lot of shite but his last few fights have been Trout, Mayweather and Lara who are all dangerous fighters. I just don't think that it will happen because he is the cash cow and GGG would most likely beat him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
