i see blackwell winning. dont like jr tbh never have i think hes done well and has opperated at a level higher than he should. this isnt a forgone conclusion this is war.
I have took the 5/1 Blackwell to win by any method. It looks really good value to me, I am not convinced by Jr, maybe he will convince me tonight and cost me a few quid Both fighters are British and young enough to bounce back whatever happens tonight so let's hope for a great fight, no controversy and may the best man win :good
Seem's like everyone who is picking Blackwell to win don't like JR and never have. Don't let your hate cloud your judgement and forget about betting on it no matter how juicey the odds seem, Blackwell could be paying 20-1 and it wouldn't be worth it because he's not going to win.
James - its not just CEJ 'haters' backing NB here. Thoughtful intelligent knowledgeable posters are picking him too. So 'never mind the width - feel the quality'!! Nick can win this. :deal :thumbsup
You're giving junior way too much credit. His career highlight is losing to a lazy BJS. Overrated power. Overrated talent. Blackwell is a live opponent. Wish i'd taken advantage of last nights betting odds.
Dmitry Chudinov what beat BJS easy, he's better than Fedor. BJS only just squeaked a win which could have gone either way and Eubank didn't really start fighting until the 6th round
Not at all, I was a huge fan of senior and have followed Jr closely but I believe Blackwell could cause Jr serious problems. Jr just hasn't convinced me yet, I see holes in his game that don't look like they are being corrected and sooner or later they will be exploited and Blackwell might be the young man to do it. If Jr beats Blackwell I will be one of the first on here congratulating him. Don't fall in to the "Khan fan" trap and believe anybody who picks against Jr must hate him, hate is a strong word, people see different things when certain fights are made, the majority believe Jr will win but most believe Blackwell will give him a real tussle.
I see a dominant performance from Eubank and a stoppage and a lot of people again having to eat some humble pie. Too much is made of the BJS fight. At the time Eubank had never even done a 12 round fight, and, if everyone cares to remember, he was widely lambasted by the same group of haters still hating today as a 'ducker' and someone who didn't want to fight anyone with a pulse. When he even took the BJS fight it seemed unlikely, and if it had been any other non-championship novice he'd have been given no chance at all by any fan. As it happens James is right - BJS (who I like) was lucky there was no thirteenth round. Eubank dominated the second half of the fight and a Spike-style stoppage would have ensued. He certainly lost the first half of the fight though, minus the domination.
Unless i'd had far more than my quota last night. Nick was almost double that for the win, and off the scale for the stoppage. I'm not surprised the odds have narrowed, but the bookies aren't stupid, and junior ain't that good.
