    This fight is very competitive. All the journos at the scene have Eubank Jr winning. Fact is Nick Blackwell has beaten the better men. Ryder, Bursak ( have a day off if you think otherwise ) . Blackwell is teak tough, has stamina and fitness ala froch.

    I think also Nick has progressed significantly. Maybe he has plateaued, but until now he has got steadily better. Eubank on the other hand has really only upped his WORKRATE in recent fights - quantiy not quality. A very simplistic approach. He hasnt improved the quality of what he does- he just does a lot more of it. Its worked for him so far. Against Blackwell that may not be enough.
    He could be found out tonight.

    I'm just looking to see if it goes to 6-7 rounds, see if CEJ starts to throw some wild hooks and if Blackwell lands short hooks like he did against Ryder, when he has a tight guard and looks for a reflex counter.

    I think CEJ is going to try box early on tonight, so close now going to be good.

    Blackwell IS jabbing - and Eubank may be tiring already...

    Eubanks flurries are eye-catching. Nick has to hope he starts tiring and the pace slows soon.

    Blackwell needs more success - eubanks speed and variety are winning this.

    Nick has to keep jabbing - its his most successful punch
