    I would have like some questions about the potential fights with Jones & Toney and what he thought of them.

    Looking forward to the Benn one more even though I was a Eubank fan back in the day..

    Eubank has OCD which is a big advantage.

    Absolutely superb viewing.

    I always enjoy watching anything that Chris Eubank is involved with, I find him a fascinating character to watch and listen to.

    I was lucky enough to meet him a few years a go and he was an absolute gent; he may be eccentric but beneath the show is a decent and honourable man IMO.

    The interview on Ringside was both fascinating and hilarious, you just didn't know what he was going to come up with next!

    The man is a legend as far as I am concerned; best Ringside I can remember seeing.

    Smith was doing my head in with the constant interrupting.

    Eubank would be talking about something interesting, mention a name in passing as part of the story, and Smith would try and divert the conversation to something involving that person instead of lettiing Eubank finish the story.

    Great interview though. The older Eubank gets the less posturing he does and more interesting he gets although he did contradict himself a bit by talking about being objective and then later about the rivalry between DeGale and Eubank Jr providing fuel for one another if they ever did fight.

    the 'poem' is teddy roosevelt quote. great quote too......

    “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
    ― Theodore Roosevelt

    It's a strange world indeed if Johnny 'The Entertainer' Nelson is on Ringside every week and Chris Eubank isn't...
