    This is a good fight. A real 50-50 for me. Andrade is class but he takes too many rounds off and cruises a bit too much. Against better opponents he could find himself in trouble...

    Middle aged Chris needs a real tune up before he fights a big dog.

    Would be a brave but silly idea imo. Andrade is high risk and lowish reward.

    Would love to see the fight though

    The thing is that Eubank Jr isn’t an effective enough pressure fighter as he lacks the skill to get inside of a world class jab.

    He is supremely fit but he doesn’t do enough or make use of that enough in fights, because of his glaring weakness when it comes to getting inside of a jab.

    Andrade should be able to out box him and win 7-8 rounds comfortably in my view.

    I like the fact he is learning from Roy Jones Jr. But I don’t see how this makes him more likely to beat world class boxer. He doesn’t have the foot speed or reflexes to be effective in that style.

    Andrade wins this quite wide on the cards. Eubank might win the odd round when Andrade gasses but he will be cruising by that point.

    The WBO middleweight title low reward for a guy that has never held a genuine title?

    Yeah man, Jnr only goes after the biggest, the IBO strap is the one.

    Good fight

    Not completely sold on Andrade to be honest.

    Eubank gasses as well so I imagine that he'll lose comfortably.

    Andrade would make him miss for fun and expose the hype job. Eubank is a very limited fighter who has good stamina and not much else.

    I want this fight made, I want to witness that third loss and I want the excuses to start again, remember when Snr said that "he'd made Jnr too good", an hour or or so before Groves showed the difference in levels? More of that please.

    I think Andrade would clown him.i would assume it would be in America so doubt it would happen.eubank will be trying to be a Sky ppv fighter within a year...watch.
