    Kalambay quite comfortably on PTS, too skilled for Eubank.

    Sumbu Patrizio Kalambay handily on points. A real technician.

    Maybe Eubank has a small chance of ko'ing Sumbu like Nunn did, but there's no way Eubank ever outpoints Kalambay at his prime imo

    Kalambay nicks the decision. His slightly busier workrate and cleaner punching takes it.

    Eubank certainly struggled against movers, but Kalambay was very much a jab-first fighter and Eubank was never really hit with a left jab!

    I go with Eubank to land counters and take him.

    Kalambay completely schools Eubank

    Kalambay is the best boxer ever. But nobody can 'school' Chris Eubank at his best!

    The likes of Hagler, Nunn, Jones, McCallum, Toney, Kalambay, Graham etc at their best would all outbox Eubank and it's pointless you trying to deny it because he knew it that's why he wouldn't fight any of them.

    Watson pretty much schooled Eubank at his best for 11 rounds in their second fight until he produced that last ditch, desprate and tragic uppercut.

    McCallum and Toney couldn't handle movers, and nobody moved quite like Eubank.

    I'm sure he'd have fought Hagler in a heart-beat for the pay.

    Watson took more heavy blows without going down than just about any fighter in a few rounds in the first few sessions of that fight. Eubank was gassed and gave up come the sixth - his own words. He aslo believes Watson had superhuman strength that night and can justify this by having fought him three months before when Watson was nothing and comfortably schooled by Chris.
