Tonight's Action (SPOILERS)

Setting the thread up early, so everything about tonight's action can go here

Who's playing?



emancipator

What fights in particular you all looking forward to?

Marc Mccullough has won by first round stoppage, and Josh Pritchard has also won his first pro fight in Belfast.

milky predictions:

fury points
eubank points
frampton points... so carl will avawin,  chris avalos and milky avaswiftexit  

Big night for us Irish. Fury and Framton in action. I just hope Fury doesn't sing lol.

The Eubank JR fight could be in doubt, will post more when I know more.

Bradley Skeete has won, stopped his opponent in the first round.

Have a feeling Eubank is in for a tough night. potential banana skin.

... yeh, strongy never seen his opponent but surprisingly tough choice on paper

That's if he gets in the ring mate, arguing over the officials at the moment.

Does anyone know fight times for the fights?

Eubank JR 9 (should it happen)
Fury 10
Frampton after that.

So from what I understand, the Russians asked for a non British referee before the fight, and Warren agreed. However the BBoC are insisting on a British referee.

Enjoying the Cummings fight.

Less than an hour before Eubank is supposed to be in the ring and there's still no word if it's going to happen.

What happening? Is there word the fight might not happen?

Warren must be losing a fortune on this tonight. 

The "crowd" at the O2 look like they'd struggle to fill my garden.

Is it that different to most shows? Still early and most will be in the bar I guess.

It looks like most of it isn't open!!

I'm watching on my laptop, perfectly legally on their website of course, picture isn't great.

The contrast between this and a Matchroom show at the same arena is actually quite embarrassing. 

The upper tiers are definitely shut, no lights on up there. 
Bottom tier is about 1/4 full from the looks of it. 

Sure it will fill up for Eubank (if it happens!) and Fury but it's dead in there. 

Reckon hiring the O2 on a Saturday night isn't cheap!

Besides Eubank JR and Skeete, are there any other London based fighters on this show? Surely it'd make more sense to have it in Manchester.

Well Eubank Jr. is a Brighton based fighter so....

Walsh is from Norfolk... Which is that side of London... Erm....

The bottom line is that Warren has zero name fighters. 
None whatsoever. 

No big ticket sellers left. 
Eubank and Fury are Hennesey fighters too!

The ref is looking for an excuse to stop this.

Thought Eubank trained in London? I'd wager if this was in Manchester there would be a much better turn out.

Well, Murray quits.

Told you. 


That's a weird stoppage

Eubank JR goes ahead then, I can understand why the Russians don't want O'Connor to ref the right.

I assumed that Ian John Lewis had stopped it in the dressing room....

Eubank Jr due in 20 minutes. Tough fight for him against a durable opponent.

Badass gumshield.

Tight guard from Chudinov making the uppercut hard to land.

Eubank throws his elbows/shoulders into opponents a lot when jostling for position up close

Did the ref just tweak Jr's nipple?

This is a hard fight to call!!

Ugly, mauling way of winning rounds from Eubank so far

EJ is rubbish. He looks totally amateur, like he started boxing a couple of years ago.

He's pretty good at holding and hitting, give him his due

To me it looks like Eubank thinks he's got GGG power and wants to knock him out with every punch. 

Toward the end of each round he's really blowing.

Fair observation, but inbetween the mauling he has done some good work.

Can't tell whether this is impressive from Eubank, or an example of what an opponent being good on paper really means.

Yet to be convinced he has any genuine power. 
Chudinov is obviously a hard man but he's been hit clean a hell of a lot and not even really dented him.

Ive got to say i dont really rate eubank jr as a world level fighter i'm not sure about this massive power hes supposed to have either

That eye is phucked.

He throws a lot of elbows Eubank....
Seems to be a technical fault with his hooks.

Still his dad thinks hes better then ggg

This fight is actually for an 'interim' world championship...SMH

Let's hope after this Eubank goes for GGG...

KTFO.
PMSL.
ROFLOL.
SMH.

etc.

Should have stopped that about 1 minute earlier. 

Too many unanswered punches. 


But....

Chudinov was absolutely knackered... Been hit with untold clean shots and he STILL couldn't drop him.

I wonder if Chudinov's corner are happy for the neutral ref now?
