    I'd like to say Brant is a boss, but tbh the only bloke he is better than is Cox lol, even then its only 60/40

    In 12 months time Jr will be on all p4p lists after he dominates this tournament.

    It is still my belief that entering such a tournament isn't something you deserve credit for doing, ffs everyone should want to enter with the money and prestige on the line.

    I would have dropped Jr is my current fav active fighter if he didn't enter this tournament.

    :lol: I doubt he gets past AA, but if he does, there's zero chance he makes it past GG or Mundo. I'd give Braehmer and Yildirim more than a decent chance to beat his ass too, by the end of this tournament he'll be as irrelevant as Jermain Taylor.

    I'm pretty sure Eubank Jr will get into the tournament past Abraham but I wouldn't pick him against Groves or Mundo, well, not unless he looks sensationally good against AA :lol:.

    Why are you so sure he gets past AA? Stylistically they don't nearly as well as most seem to think.

    Abe is no gimme and will probably be harder than the 1st round, I see Jr facing Cox or Brant 1st if he passes Abe

    Yildirim looks like a maniac, tough dude
    Braehmer is another Abe, no gimme

    Eubank loses fantasy matches to everyone, lets see them in the ring
    Groves doesn't have the heart to beat Jr, Smith is the massive threat I rate the kid highly

    Well, CEJ has the chance to prove me wrong ... if he does, I'll be the first to admit it.

    Well, I think this version of Abraham is old and doesn't throw enough punches to win a decision, let alone in England. I don't think his power at SMW is that great either, and as far as I know CEJ doesn't have a glass jaw, so I don't expect Abraham to win by KO either. Abraham struggled with guys like Murray, Paul Smith, I'm sure CEJ is better than those guys.

    To be fair, though, I still have a vision of the Ramirez vs Abraham shut-out which may be colouring my judgment.

    Has a lot of mileage for 29 though.
