    I'm off work this Saturday and would like to watch a bit of boxing. I'm gonna begrudgingly cough up for this in the hope that Abraham's proper wobbles him a couple of times. I believe it's got UD to Eubank written all over it or maybe the ref might stop it in the later rounds. It's a young, very busy fighter who loves to throw combinations against a way past his best, tired aging fighter. It'll still be a decent name on his cv (finally).

    Who else is buying and how do you see it panning out?

    I won't be paying to watch this, agree it's a step up for CEJ, but one he should win quite comfy if he's got any chance of doing anything in the division. Think it will be a good fight style wise though both like to take a minute of during rounds by taking a walk, I think they key will be who can pressure the other the most when there taking a walk will win and that man will be the younger fresher CEJ.

    Well, I'll be watching it at home, don't think I would go as far as paying for it mind. :oops:

    Pretty similar view to you. I think even though AA is still a very solid old pro, and a step up in class on Jrs recent adventures, I think Jrs workrate will wear AA down and it will be fairly one sided.

    See Eubank stopping AA around 7 or 8.

    It's going to be on in a local pub. Might organise the crawl to end up in there.

    Not paying for it but planning to watch it. If they had an online stream available for less than £10 I would possibly pay for it. I don't think it's a bad fight and I think the styles (Abraham's chin and solid jab v Eubank's speed and sheer output) will result in a very entertaining main event.

    Would have loved Price on it again for the comedy though, I would 100% pay for it if Pricey was boxing lol.

    Pricey being involved was the only reason I paid for the last one. 100% won't be paying for this one.

    @james5000 made a post saying this was the best card of the year....lmao

    I wonder how many Eubank calender's he has up on his walls at home.

    16 95 is a complete rip off for this fight but I am getting it seen as the wife and daughter are treating themselves to the little mix concert.

    Eubank jr will pummel the old timer for a ud.

    £16.95??? I hadn't even checked the price...thought it was around the £12 mark. Absolute rip off. I'm going the pub instead.

    Don't blame you, unless there's more than one of you watching it's as cheap in the pub, well I have a pub near me that's £1.65 a pint so 10 pints in the boozer without the wife lol

    Have any of you seen the video of Jr sparring Chris Kongo?

    Jr was getting comfortably outboxed and then has a few good seconds himself right at the end of the round and Sr jumps on him and pulls him away like he is saving Kongo.

    It's actually hilarious.

    if you have Facebook then search "fighting pride" it's on that page and it was posted Tuesday. The comment above the video is something like "Eubank Jr is beast mode.."

    Absolute joke, Sr walking around the ring in jeans, Jr getting outboxed and looking rather clumsy and the end of it is just... well you tell me.

    thats right, never ever ever take the wife, personally my wife always ruins boxing, always.

    Plus I can't take my wife to the pub because to be honest she drinks me under the table, it's a little embarrassing.
