I agree. egg is done but I don’t think cheese hits hard enough for the stoppage unless it’s a clazaghe/peter manfredo style one
I suspect Eddie Hearn is setting up Fowler - Cheeseman next which is a nice fight, especially now that Fitzgerald has pushed the self destruct button. Eggington is demaged goods, but I suspect Eddie wanted go give him what should be a final pay cheque.
Yeah, he needs them both to get a win and that will headline a card later in the year for the British title.
According to his trainer it was Eggington who picked cheesemen off a list of fighters for this show. Interesting fight but going for cheesemen on points.
Fowler vs Cheeseman would have been a real competitive fight and a war. Eggington is the village bike at this point, everyone is jumping on and having a go. I think Cheeseman beats him however he wants, whether that is boxing or going all in hell for leather for the knock out. Or a mixture of both. Cheeseman by knock out in my view.
Egginton got got rocked to his boots by Paulie and smashed to defeat by a bloke no one has ever heard off. When he gets stunned he just ships punishment. I expect Ted to box early then push for a stoppage.
Yet he took non stop bombs off of Liam Smith for 5 rounds at LMW. I like Ted a lot, but I think Sam will be too much for him. Sam will press the fight, use his vastly improved jab, solid pressure and better pedigree. Then back Ted up, hurts him, and flurries along the ropes, forcing a ref TKO stoppage, not all that dissimilar from the Fiordigiglio win. For what it's worth, I also said Sergio Garcia would school Ted, and that Ted would beat Fitzgerald, and he should have. So I do have a decent record with Ted.
