I like Fury, I like how his pantomine baddie act pisses people off.

I predicted a Fury win tonight but not like that, awful from Chisora. He should fight Price, leather him then both call it a day.
 
Well done to billy joe saunders, speaking as someone who tipped eubank to win as well, saunders really has seemed to sort out his stamina issues even if eubank is a slightly lazy opponent. More than anything tonight, despite all its critics I though tonight was a huge indictment of the amateur game, and the superior ringmanship and skills that led to saunders victory acquired from a distinguished amateur career. All is not lost for eubank, he has talent, now if someone could just teach him what a jab is, he will get somewhere
 
can't believe i stayed up all night and nodded off as soon as the main event started. that's what staying up till 5am the day before does to you i suppose. sounds like i didn't miss much.
 

Chisora was an embarrassment last night. He should have his purse withheld. Fury once again beat what's in front of him. Price should look at fighting Fury if he can get it because it'd be a decent pay day for both and there isn't a bigger fight out there for either. I just cant see Fury getting a title shot. He's a bum.

I have to admit, Eubank Junior did better than i thought he would but i think that was more to do with size and strength. you could argue that a boxer who would be comfortable super middle fought a boxer who could make light middle.

Anyway apart from a decent uppercut i didn't see anything what would suggest Eubank JR wil be a star, he jumped in with his punches, he thought in straight lines, his footwork was clumsy at best (i know you can catch feet with a southpaw but he was just stumbling forward). his slipping of punches was basically ducking his head down so low that he should have bee warned by the ref. You can only get a way wit such poor technique up to a crtailevel. The only thing that made the fight close(ish) was his superior size and strength.

BJS on the other hand put on a technical boxing master class, his footwork and angles in attack and defence were brilliant to watch.

The best thing eubank JR can do is go home and buy a BJS boxset and try a learn some ringcraft.

As you can tell i was a little impressed by saunders.

Oh and split decision, what a joke.

Hes trying to be his dad, but he aint got his dads chin. He also doesn't have such heavy hands and amazing accuracy that his dad had. But he does have more speed and a greater size and reach. It wouldn't hurt to pull a few pages out of the Hearns manual and implement some speedy rangey combos to work his way in then drop the uppercuts.

Saunders Eubank was the fight of the night. Fury Chis was a dance off, Chis couldn't get close enough, Fury boxed within himself and kept to range then tied him up in the clinch. Was a non event.
