Clicked to see spoilers, disappointed, thought I'd make a few quid.

by mobilemaster8 Sat 14 Sep 2013, 7:53 pm

Haha cheers Scott.

Good start to get the thread rolling.....i think?

by ONETWOFOREVER Sat 14 Sep 2013, 8:04 pm

Mayweather is being backed to the ropes too much Canelo is really strong.

I think fighting this early is harming Floyd.

by ONETWOFOREVER Sat 14 Sep 2013, 8:09 pm

OOOOOH good right from Canelo OMG FLOYD IS IN TROUBLE!

by Steffan Sat 14 Sep 2013, 8:13 pm

Eubanks winning but getting roughed up

by AlexHuckerby Sat 14 Sep 2013, 8:22 pm

From what I've seen he has a massive lack of power so struggles to keep guys off him.

by Champagne_Socialist Sat 14 Sep 2013, 8:24 pm

Eubank looks like he has stamina problems

by Steffan Sat 14 Sep 2013, 8:25 pm

Eubanks has won. Good stoppage

by Dass Sat 14 Sep 2013, 8:27 pm

Works well in close and an excellent array of shots, tends to rush his work to much at times in an effort to entertain which causes him to get caught more than he should. Good punch for the knockdown though.

by AlexHuckerby Sat 14 Sep 2013, 8:31 pm

Was the opponent up to much?

by All Time Great Sat 14 Sep 2013, 8:41 pm

He was 11st 9lbs of fat, but he was game to some extent.

Eubank Jr can't be judged just yet, but he's doing everything he can to be noticed (right idea, publicity= money). Wants to fight on the Fury vs. Haye undercard so should get him more exposure.

by jimdig Sat 14 Sep 2013, 8:41 pm

Gotta love channel 5, free HD boxing. Its the way forward..

The opponent hadn't been stopped before, so not a bad nights work from Chris.

I often feel he gets a lot of flak on this board and from boxing fans in general; perhaps due to the link with his father. He shows good boxing ability, an excellent array of shots and also good hand speed.

What I like is that he seems very keen to learn the sport inside out and hone his craft. Tonight (and other nights) he showed that he takes the advice of his coach on board, he was getting caught in the 2nd, composed himself, went back to boxing and chose his shots with more care in the 3rd. The result a good stoppage.

Still young, plenty of time on his side I think he will go on to do well, World Level...not sure just yet but he is another youngster to throw in the mix at Super Middle!

At the risk of being laughed out of the forum...I would fancy him to beat DeGale right now, not completely based on how highly I rate Eubank Jnr...but also the fact I think Chunky is vastly overrated!

he took brian rose to points (10 rounds according to box rec) and had never been stopped.
the stoppage was a bit early but was a good knock down then he was under a lot of pressure so ref stepped in.

to junior's credit he admitted the ref was early to step in but it looked like he was on his way out anyway.

by OasisBFC Sat 14 Sep 2013, 8:45 pm

oh and when the opening bell rang he stayed stood still in his corner, arms by his side and just let his opponent come to him, haha.

it's little things like that, he's good for boxing.

by jimdig Sat 14 Sep 2013, 8:50 pm

I tuned out there, why was that not a no contest?

by OasisBFC Sat 14 Sep 2013, 8:51 pm

jimdig wrote:I tuned out there, why was that not a no contest?

was thinking the same, they stumbled to the floor, he got head butted and had to retire.

by Happytravelling Sat 14 Sep 2013, 8:52 pm

I have sympathy for Jr. They seem intent on progressing him quickly.

It was a good win for him and he seems a genuinely decent lad in interviews. But, he's always overshadowed by his dad.

He could do with learning his trade out of the public eye but he is doing really well, considering the undue pressure he gets.

by All Time Great Sat 14 Sep 2013, 8:54 pm

Is Hughie Fury on this card? Thought he was fighting Shane McPhiblin today?

by jimdig Sat 14 Sep 2013, 9:05 pm

I had been supportive of the kid until I heard of his twitter out bursts. Classless if true.

by OasisBFC Sat 14 Sep 2013, 9:06 pm

could be shown after, it's already happened. won't spoil it for you. yes i will, shane retired after 1 round.

by Captain Charisma Sat 14 Sep 2013, 9:06 pm

Jesus , Hennessy is already winded from Galahad's skip to the ring.

by OasisBFC Sat 14 Sep 2013, 9:07 pm

what an odd (by odd i mean terrible) VT that was about galahad.

by jimdig Sat 14 Sep 2013, 9:13 pm

This is going to be a good fight, 10 - 9 Dickens

by jimdig Sat 14 Sep 2013, 9:17 pm

Razor thin, maybe another one to dickens. He's trying to load up, might regret it down the stretch, no love loss.

by Captain Charisma Sat 14 Sep 2013, 9:21 pm

Love that his real name is Barry. Completely ruined the aura of his idiotic name.

Barry up 2-1 i think

by jimdig Sat 14 Sep 2013, 9:21 pm

being fought at an incredible pace, Id give the 3rd to the kid with no confidence.

That's my whole evening in ruined.

by sparxz Sat 14 Sep 2013, 9:22 pm

I given all 3 to dickens imo

by sparxz Sat 14 Sep 2013, 9:25 pm

Couldn't split them there drawn round

by Captain Charisma Sat 14 Sep 2013, 9:26 pm

2-2

Isn't Richie Woodhall a different kettle of fish analysis-wise when it's 2 British fighters. Calling the flow of the fight beautifully. He's so biased when it's British vs Foreigner in my experience.

by jimdig Sat 14 Sep 2013, 9:29 pm

Barry settling into it a bit better.

by sparxz Sat 14 Sep 2013, 9:29 pm

Classy from Galahad round making jazza miss and look wild, kids round, got jazza 2 up

Was just thinking that myself

by sparxz Sat 14 Sep 2013, 9:33 pm

Another Galahad round jazza 1 up at this point as I gave him 3 early rounds but I see Galahad taking control , let's see who has a better engine then

by Captain Charisma Sat 14 Sep 2013, 9:34 pm

Why is he going around as Kid Galahad and everyone is calling him Barry??????

by sparxz Sat 14 Sep 2013, 9:37 pm

Round 7 dickens for me, 2 up

by sparxz Sat 14 Sep 2013, 9:40 pm

Tough round to score, given it to Galahad, dickens now 1 up

by jimdig Sat 14 Sep 2013, 9:41 pm

I've it even now, tough fight to score.

by Captain Charisma Sat 14 Sep 2013, 9:43 pm

Good there from Barry.

by Captain Charisma Sat 14 Sep 2013, 9:44 pm

Bold Barry , Bold!

by sparxz Sat 14 Sep 2013, 9:45 pm

Round 9 to Galahad but a point deducted for holding down the head, round drawn dickens 1 up on my card

by Captain Charisma Sat 14 Sep 2013, 9:47 pm

Great Shot!!

by sparxz Sat 14 Sep 2013, 9:47 pm

Good stoppage from Galahad finished well ko round 10

by jimdig Sat 14 Sep 2013, 9:48 pm

Pace killed dickens, he was expelling all the energy, great fight.

by OasisBFC Sat 14 Sep 2013, 9:49 pm

ruddy hell.
his corner read him the riot act saying he needed a stoppage and he goes out and finds a perfectly timed punch to drop jazza.

fair play to him.
