    I see the card starts at around 5pm with sky picking it up around 7pm. Are the earlier fights being aired somewhere else?

    Williams has absolutely no charisma at all.

    Williams looked uneasy and a bit jumpy.

    Eubank looked completely confident and relaxed.

    The niggling point with this fight is that if Eubank Jr tries to fight the entire fight impersonating Roy Jones then he could get outworked and drop and decision. When you look at his feet it is like they are caught in quick sand, that was why Roy was so effective with that style. His foot movements were lightening quick and always accurate.

    He needs to fight his normal fight and he will be fine.

    But Eubank definitely came across better than Williams did in the face off.

    Anyone else think there’s 0 buzz about this fight? Not heard anyone outside of this forum talk about it or mention it. Once they’re in the ring it should be a cracker though.

    Yeah I second this.

    Eubank's best bet in this fight is actual by being his "usual former self" - being very aggressive, rough and letting his hands go with combinations........ not stepping off, throwing pot shots and trying to outbox Williams.

    I'm looking forward to it but it's not a big fight,they've both hit their ceiling and been found out at world level.
    If Eubank wins I can see sky and his old man pushing him to get on ppv so fingers crossed Williams flushes that turd before it festers.

    Anyone I ask about it were unaware or asked who Williams was or didn’t know who Williams was. Maybe he’s a big name in Wales or something?

    I’m beginning to think we’ve been underrating Eubank Jr. Looking back on that Abraham fight, the combinations were seamless, like as good as it gets and it pains me to say. I mean seriously seriously good, as in fighters don’t throw combinations like that not named Leonard, Jones Jr or Calzaghe. His strength is clear… Canelo didn’t punch Saunders around the ring like that.

    He’s now more relaxed, less cold and has a better understanding of certain nuances under his new coach. Maybe he just dominates Liam like he did Blackwell and shows better than he ever has.

    I think Eubank Jr has been one of the most interesting and entertaining fighters out there for years. How he is not more popular, even on the boards, I just don't know.

    The young man did a marvellous job.

    Away back to Koog “kind of” Cassius and Rob Tebit and their crap “banter”

    Weird one as Eubank is a fairly big name but like you I've heard no-one talking about it, had to remind people at work this is happening.

    Seems low key as there's been no Premier League last weekend. No boxing for weeks now and it hasn't had that viral moment. Plus nobody knows who Liam Williams is outside of this forum.
