    Thoughts?

    I'd expect Eubank Jr to win fairly comfortably, should be a fun fight though

    I think that CEJ stops Tom Doran by the middle rounds, not been impressed by Tom Doran although he can be dangerous when hurt.

    Decent fight, considering there's not much time. Eubank will win, but will he finally knock someone out? He wins mostly by stoppages, but this time it can be different.

    never heard of him.

    thought Elliott Matthews was next in line for a shot at the british title?

    YouTube Doran/Keeler 2 from a month or so back.

    Enjoyable 5 minutes.

    Jnr is levels above ability-wise but this will be a fun fight.

    He was but I'd imagine Matthews knows that if Eubank retains the title he'd vacate immediately. Thus he has a better chance of capturing the title in sitting this one out.

    I don't think Doran is near the level of Blackwell so Eubank Jr should stop him mid rounds.

    I think it adds to the 25th June card. But again, that and Groves-Murray should just be on regular cards really. OH WELL

    I'm looking forward to groves Murray if one of them had a European it would have its own card, cracking fight. Winner fights callum if he beats jack

    Doran is no pushover. His two wins over Luke keeler prove that. He is cool under pressure, has a nice defence and a nice variety of offence too. Another thing about him...he is a huge middleweight, so Eubanks usual size advantage won't apply here. Not a guy to sleep on, Doran.

    Where was his defence and coolness against keeler. Yes it was entertaining but he wasn't any of the above. It was a wild shoot out.
