    I'm pretty certain someone's getting knocked out in this fight and I reckon if Chris sticks with his BTEC Roy Jones impression he's gonna be sparked out cold at a point where Liam would turn it into a vicious dogfight and land bombs.

    That might all be true but I am simply saying Chris Eubank at this stage of his career is not going to be easy to beat. Williams best bet is to make it a technical fight but he won’t be able and in a Mano-a-Mano affair I know who my money is on.

    50/50 match up either guy winning wouldn't surprise me it should make for an entertaining fight. I actually hope Eubank pulls it off because I want to see GGG give him a beating.

    Good to see the fight get made, Williams really should win this quite comfortably. This fight is interesting because both these fighters have lost winnable fights in their biggest tests to date. Whoever loses this fight, I would write off completely as a future trinket holder.

    What always puzzles me with Jnr fights is yes he is aggressive & punches super fast flurrys but hardly any of the opponents go down , unless they are Avni "I fall for you now boss" Yildrim. 2 ko in 32 fights & people rate him as a dangerous fighter...Put him in with Charlo , GGG even Andrade he'll get slaughtered ,Williams stoppage hopefully...

    I think Williams has a good chance for the stoppage win.

    Jr seems to either have regressed or Jones Jr is a poor fit. Eubank Jr seems to be lost in translation. He's got an arm issue where he can't extend his arm properly to throw a jab. His boxing ability and his ring iq hasn't improved, either.

    When he was stopping fighters like Blackwell and O'Sullivan he had seemed more aggressive and seemed more hungrier.

    I'm not sure that Eubank Jr really just wanted the rounds against Morrison and i think his power probably didn't faze Morrison that much. Eubank Jr likes being a showman and i think he'd have liked to make a statement.

    I just view Eubank Jr's career as a long con. Yes, he's obviously got some ability as he wouldn't win fights. I think just think he's benefitted greatly perhaps more so than you average boxer from good matchmaking. He's fought boxers at the right moments (Abraham and Degale spring to mind) and he thought Groves was there for the taking because he seemed past it.

    He's never legitimately won a world title unless you consider the IBO as a real world title belt.

    I hope Williams wins but even saying that i'm not hugely confident he can pull it off. He might ''blow his load'' and let Eubank beat him on pure stamina. I hope not because Eubank Jr needs another reality check.

    He should really have been able to overcome Groves, who was softened, faded and there to be taken. That's what I thought at the time, and a pretty basic Callum Smith proved the point one fight later, but Jr. couldn't even get that together. He never seems to have anything resembling a basic plan by which to effectively impose his strengths. He's a lunch-pail laborer who mistakenly believes he's a flair fighter with room to improvise and fight off the cuff. He did manage to handle DeGale, but that only proved he needs a genuine world level fighter to be all the way shot before he can beat him.

    Williams, meanwhile, manages to blow every bigger fight he's in. He fought Andrade like a moron.

    Both these guys could fail to get a thirsty mob drunk while hosting a party in a brewery, so this one probably comes down to which ****up is slighty less of a ****up.

    Yeah, his punches 'look' hard but clearly aren't. Might be a timing issue and ring IQ issue... rather than throwing the punches an opening invites, he just churns out set-piece combos. He does look like he should hurt fighters more than he does...

    Good fight. Will be switching back forth between the 2 shows. Plenty of action for the fans, can't complain.

    Interesting fight. I think CEJ will stop Williams around the 8th round.
